• Define future-state warehouse processes for receiving, inventory, replenishment, picking, packing, shipping, returns, exceptions, and operational support.

Requirements

• High School Diploma and relevant work experience.
• 10+ years of hands-on experience implementing Manhattan Active Warehouse Management; experience limited to Manhattan WMi, legacy Manhattan WMOS, or SCALE is not sufficient by itself.

• Strong understanding of warehouse operations, including receiving, inventory control, replenishment, picking, packing, shipping, returns, and exception handling.
• Experience migrating from legacy WMS environments and replacing or integrating related TMS, WES/WCS, automation, and warehouse execution functions.
• Experience integrating WMS with external order management systems, preferably Manhattan Omni or another upstream order source outside the direct control of the WMS team.
• Experience with multi-site implementation planning, phased rollouts, pilot deployments, site-specific configuration, testing, cutover, and post-go-live stabilization.
• Working knowledge of warehouse hardware and automation, including RF devices, barcode scanners, label printers, conveyors, pick-to-light, WCS/WES interfaces, and network dependencies.
• Ability to create documentation, standards, process flows, configuration guides, test plans, cutover plans, and support handoff materials.
• Ability to mentor internal IT, operations, business analyst, and support teams so the organization can build Manhattan Active WM capability internally.
• Strong communication, analytical, problem-solving, and stakeholder management skills across operations, IT, vendors, and leadership.
