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.
This is not a configuration role, it’s a strategic architecture position requiring someone who can influence design decisions, negotiate changes with adjacent systems, and ensure the WMS footprint integrates cleanly across a complex enterprise landscape.
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.
