Overview:

You will lead end-to-end solution delivery across Blue Yonder Network product areas - from business process design and configuration through go-live support.

  • Serve as the primary liaison between project teams, customer stakeholders and internal Product Management; manage expectations and facilitate timely decisions.
  • Elicit, analyse and translate business requirements into clear functional specifications, configuration guides and acceptance criteria.
  • Design and document solution blueprints, process flows, integration patterns and deployment approaches that meet functional and non-functional requirements.
  • Drive configuration and system setup activities, ensuring solutions are aligned to business process requirements and product capabilities.
  • Support and lead workshops, user acceptance testing (UAT), training sessions and knowledge-transfer activities; create handover documentation for support and operations teams.

  • Coordinate cross-functional teams (implementation, QA, product, support) to resolve technical issues, risks and blockers.
  • Define cutover, migration and rollback plans; provide on-site or remote go-live support and stabilization until ownership is transferred.
  • Create and maintain project artifacts: functional specs, configuration matrices, runbooks, test cases, and post-implementation reviews.
  • Mentor junior architects and consultants; promote repeatable patterns and best practices to improve delivery efficiency and quality.


What We're Looking For:

  • Proven experience working on implementation/configuration projects and supporting go-lives, preferably for supply-chain, logistics or network SaaS platforms.
  • Strong skills in business process mapping and translating processes into system configuration and functional specifications.
  • Demonstrated customer-facing experience - workshops, UAT, executive briefings and training.
  • Experience coordinating cross-functional delivery teams and managing stakeholder expectations.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills; ability to present technical concepts to non-technical audiences.

  • System configuration and implementation best practices
  • Integration technologies and patterns (APIs, EDI, webhooks, messaging)
  • Data mapping, transformation and validation techniques
  • Basic scripting or SQL for troubleshooting and data fixes
  • Familiarity with cloud-hosted SaaS environments, deployment and operational handover
  • Test planning and UAT support
