Senior Product Manager, Warehouse Execution Systems (WES) & Material Handling
Stord•Atlanta, GA
•Onsite
About The Position
Stord is seeking a Senior Product Manager to own the gap between warehouse automation and order fulfillment. This role involves building a homegrown Warehouse Execution System (WES), which acts as the orchestration layer between the Warehouse Management System (WMS) and physical automation on the distribution center floors. The WES decides in real-time what work gets released, to whom, and in what order. This is a hands-on role focused on building the core logic for automation, not just integrating vendor APIs. Additionally, the role will support Stord's Innovation Lab by running structured experiments on new material handling concepts and automation pilots. This is a senior role with director-level scope, requiring ownership of strategy, architecture tradeoffs, and stakeholder alignment across Product, Engineering, Operations, and DC leadership.
Requirements
- 5-7+ years in product management, with a substantial chunk of that in operationally complex, physical-world environments (warehouse/DC operations, supply chain systems, manufacturing execution, or robotics/automation).
- Direct exposure to warehouse execution, WMS, WCS, or material handling automation concepts.
- Demonstrated ability to zoom from system architecture to floor-level workflow and back.
- A track record of owning ambiguous, build-it-yourself product scope.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
- Comfort with experimentation and structured ambiguity for the Innovation Lab.
- Willingness to travel to DC sites.
- Experience building 0-to-1 internal/homegrown platforms (not just configuring vendor software).
Nice To Haves
- Hands-on exposure to specific MHE/automation platforms (AutoStore, Knapp, Dematic, Honeywell Intelligrated/Momentum, HAI Robotics, Swisslog).
- Background in industrial engineering, operations research, or a discipline that makes 'labor and automation resource balancing' genuinely interesting.
- Experience with real-time systems, event-driven architectures, or optimization/scheduling logic.
Responsibilities
- Define and own the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for Stord's homegrown WES, including work release logic, task/order prioritization, labor-and-automation resource balancing, and exception handling.
- Own the build-vs-defer tradeoffs on WES scope.
- Design how WES coordinates across heterogeneous automation types (goods-to-person, AS/RS, conveyor/sortation, and robotics).
- Partner with Engineering and Controls/Automation stakeholders to define the contracts between WES and physical equipment.
- Build the operational logic for real-world failure conditions, such as equipment downtime, congestion spikes, and mixed manual/automated backup flows.
- Design and own the plan for building a plug-and-play integration layer for automation vendors.
- Scope, run, and evaluate structured pilots on new material handling and automation concepts for the Innovation Lab.
- Build the 'is this worth building' case for new concepts, including cost, throughput, labor impact, and integration complexity.
- Bridge Innovation Lab findings back into the core WES roadmap.
- Operate as the connective tissue between DC Operations, Engineering, Controls/Automation teams, and executive stakeholders.
- Own metrics that tie WES performance to business outcomes, such as throughput, order cycle time, labor utilization, automation uptime, and exception rate.
- Present roadmap, tradeoffs, and pilot outcomes to senior leadership.
