This role bridges the gap between warehouse operations and system functionality—guiding clients through complex WMS deployments that drive performance in retail, ecommerce, and wholesale environments.

You’ll serve as the subject matter expert on WMS configuration and process enablement, supporting solution design, documentation, functional testing, and operational readiness. If you thrive in fast-paced implementation environments and bring both warehouse domain expertise and software fluency, we’d love to talk.

• Direct warehouse operations experience, including business-side implementation support

• Functional Super User-level proficiency in one or more Tier 1 WMS platforms:

  • Preferred: Manhattan Associates (WMOS, WMi, SCALE, Labor Management)

  • Also acceptable: Blue Yonder, Infios, Softeon or similar

• Proven ability to translate business requirements into system functionality

• Experience troubleshooting and resolving WMS implementation issues

• Ability to work on-site and independently lead smaller to moderately complex WMS deployments

Experience that's a plus

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

• Experience working with WMS integrations, including ERP and 3PL systems
• Familiarity with labor management functionality within Manhattan or Blue Yonder ecosystems
• Participation in functional testing and validation phases during implementations
• Experience writing or validating functional and basic technical design documents
• Exposure to configuration, cutover planning, and post-go-live hypercare

What you'll actually do

• Act as the functional SME for Manhattan or Blue Yonder WMS implementations

• Participate in design workshops and requirements gathering sessions

• Translate operational requirements into functional specifications and solution configurations

• Review and validate integration mapping and interface test results

• Author or support functional documentation, including use cases and acceptance criteria

• Lead or support functional testing phases, including system, UAT, and regression testing

• Collaborate with technical teams to validate technical designs and enhancements

• Troubleshoot implementation issues and escalate risks where necessary

• Support go-live planning, user training, and hypercare activities

• Contribute to practice development through white papers, proposals, and knowledge-sharing

• Foster a collaborative team environment and support junior consultants when applicable
