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.
