Manhattan TMS Testing Consultant – Contract Role

What we're looking for

Spinnaker SCA is looking for a Manhattan Transportation Management (TMS) Testing Consultant to support a critical implementation initiative during its testing and go-live phases. This contract role is tailor-made for someone who knows the TMS landscape inside and out—especially Manhattan’s platform—and can ensure functionality, integration, and performance are fully validated before hitting the switch.

You’ll work at the intersection of IT, logistics operations, and carrier management—translating technical testing into business confidence. If you thrive in fast-moving implementation environments and know how to test for what could go wrong (not just what should go right), we want to hear from you.

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.
• 3+ years of experience in supply chain and transportation operations
• 2+ years specifically working with Manhattan TMS in a testing or implementation capacity
• Participation in at least 1 full-cycle TMS implementation
• Hands-on experience in Agile environments supporting enterprise-scale deployments
• Familiarity with integration testing across ERP, WMS, and third-party systems (carrier APIs, freight payment)
  
  

Experience that's a plus

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

• Proficiency using tools like JIRA, ServiceNow, or TestRail for test case management and defect tracking
• Knowledge of key transportation processes and KPIs, including carrier management, rate procurement, freight audit & pay, and real-time visibility
• Experience using analytics to identify testing gaps, performance trends, or business impact
• Familiarity with performance testing, security testing, and regression cycles

What you'll actually do

• Execute core system testing across routing, carrier selection, tendering, billing, and exception workflows
• Perform integration testing with ERP, WMS, APIs, and third-party logistics systems
• Lead User Acceptance Testing (UAT) coordination with business and logistics stakeholders
• Manage performance and security testing to validate system scalability and compliance
• Maintain a tight handle on defect management, tracking, and resolution
• Provide cutover, smoke test, and post-go-live validation support to ensure a stable deployment
