Role Overview
We are seeking an experienced Apptio Configuration Lead to take ownership of the design, configuration, governance, and ongoing optimization of Apptio solutions. This role is critical for supporting cost transparency, planning, allocation, and reporting initiatives. The ideal candidate will possess a strong blend of hands-on Apptio configuration expertise and a deep understanding of financial logic, cost models, allocations, and reporting.
Key Responsibilities
- Apptio Configuration & Platform Delivery: Lead end-to-end configuration of Apptio applications, including model setup, allocation rules, business mappings, cost objects, hierarchies, and reporting structures. Translate TBM, finance, and operational requirements into Apptio configuration designs and build plans. Configure and maintain cost pools, cost centers, towers, services, applications, products, projects, and other required taxonomies. Develop, test, and deploy allocation logic, including driver-based, rule-based, and step allocations. Configure user roles, access controls, workflows, and governance controls to support scalable operations. Maintain comprehensive configuration documentation, runbooks, and change logs across environments.
- Data Enablement & Integration Support: Partner closely with data engineering teams and source system owners to define data requirements, transformations, and load processes. Validate inbound data for completeness, conformity, and reconciliation to source systems. Establish and monitor data quality controls, exception handling, and issue resolution processes. Support improvements to ingestion, mapping, automation, and controls across the platform.
- Testing, Release & Operational Excellence: Own the testing strategy for configuration changes, including unit testing, regression testing, and user acceptance support. Manage release cycles across development, test, and production environments. Lead defect triage, root-cause analysis, and issue resolution related to configuration and reporting. Establish standards and configuration patterns that improve maintainability and reduce unnecessary customization.
- Stakeholder Partnership & Governance: Serve as the lead authority for Apptio configuration design and decision-making. Partner with Finance, IT leaders, TBM stakeholders, and service owners to align taxonomy, allocations, and reporting outputs. Provide guidance on TBM best practices, model design tradeoffs, and downstream reporting impacts. Train administrators and power users and support adoption of the platform.
