Blue Yonder ESP Technical Supply Planning Consultant | Spinnaker SCA Careers

What we're looking for

Spinnaker SCA, a Publicis Sapient company, is seeking a Technical Principal / Senior Principal Consultant with deep Blue Yonder ESP (Enterprise Supply Planning) expertise to lead complex supply chain planning technology engagements. This is a hands-on technical leadership role designed for experts who know how to connect the dots—across systems, data models, integrations, and real-world business needs.

In this role, you’ll own the technical workstream from end to end: designing architecture, writing specs, defining testing protocols, and ensuring the seamless deployment of integrated planning solutions. If you thrive at the intersection of functional depth and technical detail—and you know how to lead others through complexity—you belong here.

Required qualifications

Here’s what you need to bring to the table:

• A bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience in a relevant field is required. Equivalent experience includes a proven track record of skills, professional accomplishments, or training related to the role.
• 7+ years of technical experience with advanced planning systems (10+ years for Senior Principal), including integration, data management, and customizations
• Specific expertise in configuring and deploying Blue Yonder ESP and experience with related APS tools (Kinaxis, SAP SCM, o9, etc.)
• Leadership of at least 2–3 full lifecycle Supply Chain Planning implementations, with a technical focus
• Strong understanding of ESP technical architecture, including data models, interfacing, and customization capabilities
• Experience with integration tools and APIs; knowledge of Sequencing (SEQ) deployment is a plus
• Proficiency with SQL, Alteryx, or similar analytics/data transformation platforms
• Strong documentation, presentation, and stakeholder communication skills
• Willingness to travel to client locations based on project needs

Experience that's a plus

You’ll stand out if you also bring experience with:

• Industry certifications (e.g., Blue Yonder, Kinaxis, PMP, APICS, ACPF, Six Sigma)
• Experience leading technical change management and enablement programs
• Knowledge of AI techniques and data science concepts as applied to supply chain systems
• Familiarity with both Agile/Scrum and traditional SDLC (Waterfall) delivery frameworks

What you'll actually do

• Lead technical delivery for Blue Yonder ESP implementations, including configuration, data architecture, and integration
• Conduct technical assessments and fit-gap analysis for supply chain systems and planning architecture
• Develop comprehensive technical specs, interface designs, data mapping documents, and solution blueprints
• Translate functional business requirements into scalable, future-ready technical solutions
• Design, manage, and execute testing cycles across unit, system, performance, and regression phases
• Partner with clients and cross-functional teams to ensure successful deployment and post-go-live performance
• Guide and mentor junior consultants and client developers
• Provide technical leadership in proposal development and solution design efforts
• Contribute to Spinnaker SCA’s knowledge base by developing reusable tools, assets, and internal training materials
