- At least 5 years architecting and delivering Manhattan Active WM solutions, covering platform design, configuration strategy, extensibility, cloud/SaaS deployment, and enterprise integrations in high-volume distribution centers.
- At least 5 years designing and implementing WMS integration architectures, including API, event-driven, and batch patterns, data modeling, middleware strategy, and connections to ERP, TMS, OMS, WCS/WES, LMS, automation, and analytics platforms.
- At least 5 years translating complex business and operational needs into scalable WMS designs and leading cross-functional programs with multiple vendors, stakeholders, and delivery teams.
- Experience integrating warehouse automation—including AS/RS, AMRs, conveyor and sortation systems, robotic picking, and WCS/WES—with WMS platforms, including throughput modeling, failure-mode design, and operational resilience.
- Experience leading WMS technology selection and RFP/RFI processes, from requirements and evaluation criteria through vendor scoring and executive recommendations.
- Strong executive communication and stakeholder management skills, including presenting architecture decisions, trade-offs, and recommendations to C-suite, CIO/CTO, and VP-level audiences.
- Manhattan Active WM certification, Manhattan Associates partner-level credentials, or equivalent platform recognition is preferred.
- Experience designing cloud/SaaS WMS solutions, including multi-tenant architecture, data residency, disaster recovery, and cloud-specific integration patterns, is preferred.
- Architecture experience with Blue Yonder Luminate Warehouse Management, SAP EWM, Oracle WMS Cloud, or other leading enterprise WMS platforms is preferred.
- Experience with integration middleware such as MuleSoft, Azure Service Bus, Dell Boomi, IBM MQ, or equivalent in enterprise WMS programs is preferred.
Responsibilities: - Own end-to-end WMS architecture for large distribution center transformation programs, defining the technology landscape, platform and integration designs, and governance across WMS, WCS/WES, ERP, automation, and related supply chain applications.
- Lead Manhattan Active WM solution design, including configuration, extensibility, cloud/SaaS deployment, data models, and alignment with product roadmaps and best practices; apply comparable architectural rigor to other platforms when needed.
- Architect and govern integrations between WMS and ERP, TMS, OMS, labor management, slotting, warehouse automation, and analytics systems, defining APIs, messaging, data flows, payloads, and middleware.
- Lead WMS platform assessments and selections by defining business and technical requirements, preparing RFP/RFI materials, setting evaluation frameworks, managing vendor demonstrations, and recommending platforms to senior client leaders.
- Design warehouse automation integration architectures for systems such as AS/RS, goods-to-person, conveyor and sortation, AMRs, robotic picking, and pick-to-light or voice, ensuring throughput, resilience, failover, and scalability.
- Turn business requirements and distribution center processes into maintainable WMS designs that maximize native functionality, limit unnecessary customization, and support future upgrades and innovation.
- Guide configuration, functional, development, and integration teams through design reviews and technical decisions, keeping delivery aligned with the approved architecture.
- Lead program architecture governance, maintain decision and change-control processes, and serve as the senior technical escalation point for complex functional, integration, and performance issues.
- Produce client-facing architecture materials, including current- and future-state landscape diagrams, integration blueprints, decision records, evaluation scorecards, and solution documentation.
- Advise client technology and supply chain executives and enterprise architects, clearly explaining architecture choices, trade-offs, risks, and strategic recommendations.
- Support our business development through proposal and RFP architecture, WMS content for SOWs and contracts, client demonstrations, and differentiated perspectives on WMS and warehouse automation strategy.
- Strengthen our WMS and automation practice by developing reusable architecture patterns, integration accelerators, evaluation tools, and technology perspectives, and supporting relationships with Manhattan Associates, automation OEMs, and other technology partners.
