About The Position

Lead the technology deployment for a new greenfield warehouse, coordinating IT workstreams from facility construction through go-live. The role covers SAP EWM, IT infrastructure, warehouse automation, system integrations, and stakeholder management across IT and non-IT organizations. The position is intended for a broad-based IT program manager with experience delivering complex logistics, warehouse, infrastructure, and automation initiatives in a greenfield environment; it is not a traditional SAP Project Manager role.

Success means coordinating effectively across IT, Operations, Facilities, Construction, and external vendors, achieving a stable go-live with minimal operational disruption, and transitioning successfully to support teams.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Engineering, Supply Chain, or a related field.
• 10+ years of IT project or program management experience.
• Proven experience delivering warehouse, logistics, manufacturing, or distribution center projects.
• Experience delivering at least one greenfield facility deployment from design through go-live.
• Strong understanding of SAP EWM and enterprise system integrations.
• Experience managing infrastructure deployments involving networking, cabling, wireless, servers, and end-user technologies.
• Familiarity with warehouse automation technologies such as ASRS, AMRs, conveyors, RFID, WES, and WCS.
• Strong stakeholder management skills and ability to lead cross-functional teams across IT, Operations, Engineering, Facilities, and third-party vendors.
• Experience managing system integrators, budgets, schedules, and executive communications.

Nice To Haves

• PMP certification.
• Experience with warehouse automation vendors such as Geek+, Dematic, Kardex, or Client.
• Experience integrating warehouse automation with SAP EWM.

Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end delivery of all IT workstreams for the new warehouse facility.
• Manage project scope, schedule, risks, dependencies, and governance.
• Coordinate SAP EWM implementation and its integration with warehouse automation systems.
• Lead infrastructure deployment, including network and wireless infrastructure, MDF/IDF room setup, structured cabling and fiber installation, servers, racks, endpoints, warehouse RF coverage, and device readiness.
• Coordinate deployment and integration of VLMs (Vertical Lift Modules), conveyors and sortation systems, AMRs, RFID solutions, and WES/WCS platforms.
• Manage external system integrators, automation vendors, construction partners, and technology suppliers.
• Work with Facilities, Operations, Engineering, Supply Chain, SAP, Infrastructure, Security, and Automation teams.
• Drive testing, commissioning, cutover, go-live readiness, hypercare, and operational handoff activities.
• Coordinate across IT, Operations, Facilities, Construction, and external vendors to support a stable go-live with minimal operational disruption and a successful transition to support teams.
