- Perform structured GAP analyses across WM and OM and translate findings into clear recommendations that operations leadership and IT can both act on
- Design and execute test plans that cover both platforms, supporting QA, SIT and UAT cycles with the rig our needed to go live with confidence
- Stay close to implementations through go-live and beyond, resolving functional and integration issues quickly and keeping operational teams supported during the transition

- At least five years of experience in functional advisory, implementation or operations roles with meaningful exposure to WM, OM or both, preferably in a global logistics or supply chain setting
- Strong hands-on experience with Manhattan Active WM
- Solid working knowledge of Manhattan Active OM is equally important given how closely the two platforms are delivered together
- A proven ability to work credibly with both operations teams and IT, earning the trust of people who speak very different professional languages
- A real understanding of warehouse operations and how order management feeds into and out of warehouse execution
- Familiarity with change and release processes, configuration lifecycles and testing practices including QA and UAT
- Clear communication skills that work just as well in a warehouse team briefing as in a project governance meeting
- Willingness to travel internationally when required
