Solution Architect – WMS, Blue Yonder or Manhattan, Planning & Optimization

Outstanding opportunity to join a global retailer embarking on a major multi year transformation of its global supply chain and building a modern, scalable warehouse & logistics platform to be deployed across all distribution centres. We’re looking for a WMS Solution Architect with deep experience ideally in Blue Yonder (other WMS platforms considered) to shape, design, and guide the rollout.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Leading solution architecture for Blue Yonder WMS as the first phase of a multi year logistics transformation.

• Designing a scalable, repeatable platform to be deployed across all depots.

• Working across business and technology teams to define end to end processes and integration patterns.

• Assessing and negotiating changes with upstream/downstream systems (ERP, OMS, transport, automation, etc.).

• Providing architectural governance, standards, and best practice for Manhattan suite implementations.

• Ensuring the platform is robust, future proof, and aligned to global operating model.

What We’re Looking For:

• Extensive hands on experience with the WMS products

• Proven background designing and delivering large scale WMS implementations in complex environments.

• Strong understanding of warehouse operations, automation, and logistics processes.

• Ability to work across multiple systems and negotiate architectural changes with other product owners.

• Experience designing multi site, repeatable deployment patterns.

• Excellent stakeholder engagement and communication skills.
