What we're looking for
Spinnaker SCA is looking for a Manhattan Warehouse Management (WMS) Testing Consultant to support a critical implementation initiative during its testing and go-live phases. This full-time role is tailor-made for someone who knows the WMS 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 warehouse 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 consulting or industry with exposure to warehouse operations.
- 2+ years specifically working with Manhattan Associates WMS (WMOS, WMi, SCALE) including design, configuration, testing, deployment, and upgrade/implementation projects.
- Participation in at least one full-cycle WMS implementation(s).
- Hands-on experience with Agile methodology to deliver enterprise-scale solutions.
- Strong understanding of supply chain and warehouse processes (retail, ecommerce, and wholesale distribution).
- Experience managing requirement documents, functional/technical design validation, and project issue logs.
- Familiarity with ERP/WMS integration testing and validation of system results.
Experience that's a plus
You’ll stand out if you also bring experience with:
- Manhattan Associates Labor Management, ACTIVE, or other Tier 1 WMS platforms (e.g., Blue Yonder/SAP).
- Familiarity with Agile environments and modern project tracking tools (e.g., JIRA, ServiceNow, TestRail).
- Experience using analytics and metrics to assess supply chain performance and identify and quantify improvement opportunities.
- Experience with Warehouse concepts, leading practices, KPIs, and processes (Carrier Management, Dispatch and Fleet Management, Rate Procurement, Freight Audit & Pay, and Visibility)
What you'll actually do
- Test Execution & Management
- Conduct unit testing on WMS core functionalities (e.g., order management, routing, carrier selection, freight billing).
- Involvement in integration testing with ERP, WMS, carrier APIs, and freight payment systems to ensure seamless data exchange.
- Execute system testing to validate real-world Warehouse scenarios (e.g., carrier tendering, tracking, exception handling).
- Involvement in User Acceptance Testing (UAT) with logistics teams, ensuring business requirements are met before go-live.
- Manage performance testing to assess system scalability, response time, and batch processing efficiency.
- Perform security testing to validate user role permissions, data protection, and compliance.
- Perform regression testing post-WMS updates or enhancements.
- Defect Management & Reporting
- Log and track defects using JIRA, ServiceNow, or TestRail.
- Work closely with developers and system integrators to resolve issues.
- Provide regular test reports and go-live readiness assessments to stakeholders.
- Go-Live Readiness & Post-Implementation Support
- Conduct final smoke testing before production deployment.
- Ensure smooth transition with detailed cutover and rollback plans.
- Provide post-go-live validation support to ensure WMS stability and performance.
