This role will lead and support WMS discovery, requirements validation, solution design, design assurance, and stakeholder enablement, translating warehouse requirements into scalable Blue Yonder WMS solutions.

Responsibilities

• Lead and support discovery, requirements-validation, and solution-design activities for Blue Yonder WMS engagements.
• Facilitate workshops covering inbound, inventory, outbound, returns, replenishment, value-added services, kitting, reporting, integrations, data, automation, and related warehouse processes.
• Assess current-state warehouse operations and translate business requirements into scalable future-state processes and system capabilities.
• Review existing WMS templates, configurations, process flows, and supporting documentation.
• Evaluate standard Blue Yonder functionality against business and operational requirements.
• Identify functional gaps, design risks, dependencies, assumptions, constraints, and areas requiring further clarification.
• Develop, review, or validate Business Requirements Documents, Functional Solution Documents, functional specifications, process flows, decision logs, configuration workbooks, and related design artifacts.
• Confirm traceability between approved business requirements and the proposed functional solution.
• Provide techno-functional guidance related to WMS configuration, integrations, data, reporting, material-handling equipment, automation, and adjacent enterprise systems.
• Collaborate with integration, architecture, development, testing, product, and operational teams to ensure end-to-end solution alignment.
• Evaluate product-enhancement or customization requests and document the associated business need, operational impact, expected outcome, and supporting rationale.
• Support the prioritization of solution gaps based on business value, operational impact, scalability, standardization, cost, and implementation risk.
• Review implementation plans, estimates, assumptions, resource requirements, dependencies, and proposed sequencing.
• Support design reviews, stakeholder walkthroughs, governance meetings, and executive readouts.
• Maintain clear documentation of decisions, actions, risks, assumptions, dependencies, and unresolved items.
• Advise stakeholders on warehouse-management best practices and relevant industry benchmarks.
• Identify opportunities for AI-assisted configuration, workflow automation, and accelerated WMS deployment, including prerequisites, dependencies, risks, and potential business value.
• Develop role-based training materials, facilitator guides, user guides, standard operating procedures, job aids, and knowledge-transfer documentation.
• Deliver train-the-trainer, super-user, end-user, and support-team training through virtual or instructor-led sessions.
• Support training-readiness planning and ensure training materials align with the approved solution design, configured processes, and operational procedures.
• Provide guidance and mentorship to functional consultants, business analysts, developers, trainers, and other delivery-team members when required.

Requirements

• At least 7 years of WMS consulting or implementation experience, including substantial hands-on experience with Blue Yonder WMS.
• Experience with recent Blue Yonder WMS cloud releases, preferably 2023 or newer, is strongly preferred.
• Experience serving as a Design Lead, Solution Lead, Functional Lead, or Techno-Functional Lead on enterprise WMS programs.
• Experience supporting multiple end-to-end WMS implementations, upgrades, migrations, rollouts, or template-development initiatives.
• Strong understanding of warehouse processes, including receiving, putaway, inventory management, replenishment, picking, packing, shipping, returns, value-added services, and kitting.
• Demonstrated ability to lead design workshops and translate complex operational requirements into functional solution designs.
• Strong experience developing or reviewing BRDs, FSDs, functional specifications, process flows, configuration workbooks, test scenarios, and solution-design documentation.
• Ability to assess requirements against standard Blue Yonder functionality and distinguish configuration needs from product gaps or custom-development requirements.
• Understanding of WMS integrations with ERP, OMS, TMS, carrier, labor-management, reporting, automation, robotics, conveyor, and material-handling systems.
• Working knowledge of APIs, interface patterns, data mapping, batch processing, reporting, and system dependencies.
• Experience with SQL or other database-querying tools used for analysis, validation, and troubleshooting.
• Experience working with high-volume, multi-client, multi-site, or highly automated warehouse environments.
• Experience developing WMS training materials and delivering instructor-led or virtual training to operational users, super-users, trainers, and support teams.
• Ability to translate complex system functionality into clear, practical instructions for warehouse users and business stakeholders.
• Strong analytical skills and the ability to identify design gaps, operational risks, and downstream implementation impacts.
• Strong stakeholder-management, facilitation, documentation, training, and presentation skills.
• Ability to communicate effectively with warehouse operators, business leaders, technical teams, software vendors, and executive stakeholders.
• Ability to work independently, manage competing priorities, and deliver high-quality work within demanding project timelines.
• Availability to travel based on engagement requirements.
• Blue Yonder WMS certification or equivalent advanced platform experience.
• Hands-on experience with Blue Yonder WMS cloud releases from 2023 onward, including cloud deployment considerations, release capabilities, configuration approaches, integration dependencies, and upgrade impacts.
