Primary Job Location: Atlanta, GA with travel up to 70%

Location Flexibility: Hybrid, 3 days in office in Irvine, California for client project

Employment Type: Full-Time Contract or Permanent Hire (open to both)

Hiring Timeline: Immediate

Reporting Line: Co-Founder & COO

Existing Vacancy: Yes

Application Deadline: Open until filled.

Role Overview:

FIQ is seeking an onshore TMS Solution Architect to support Oracle-led discovery and Conference Room Pilot (CRP) sessions for a client's Manhattan Active TMS implementation. The immediate focus is assessing feasibility for, and demonstrating, dock scheduling and carrier communication capabilities within MATM. The successful candidate will then transition into the broader Daimler-onto-MATM onboarding project starting in early 2027, ultimately covering the full transportation management flow (carrier setup and procurement, contract management, shipment planning, tender management, dock scheduling, and carrier communication).

Key Responsibilities:

• Partner with the business, operations and technology stakeholders to lead and support transportation management requirements.
• Assess feasibility of implementing dock scheduling and carrier communication capabilities within Manhattan Active TMS.
• Demonstrate/pilot dock scheduling and carrier communication functionality as part of the CRP process.
• Document solution design, design decisions, extending design work to the full TMS flow - carrier setup, contract management, carrier procurement, shipment planning, and tender.
• Onboarding sites, carriers on Manhattan-TMS.
• Provide continuity of design knowledge across both phases, reducing ramp-up risk for the broader implementation.
• Travel onsite to Irvine, CA up to 3 days/week.

Must-Have Qualifications:

• This is a techno-functional solution architect role, not a purely functional or purely technical one.
• Has deep functional knowledge of Manhattan TMS (Manhattan Active TMS preferred) - carrier management, contract/rate management, shipment planning, tendering, dock scheduling, and carrier communication.
• Understands how MATM integrates with WMS/ERP systems at a solution-design level (techno-functional), without needing deep expertise in integration protocols, mappings, or cloud security/NFR work - those are treated as a separate technical workstream, not part of this role.
• Is comfortable operating as a Solution Architect / Design Lead rather than a configuration specialist or pure consultant. This role is scoped above hands-on configuration work.
• Has prior experience supporting Manhattan TM implementations or multi-system transformation programs, ideally in manufacturing, high-tech, CPG, retail, or logistics verticals.
• Is available to start immediately and commit to a multi-phase engagement (design phase now, continuing directly into the onboarding implementation).
• Is based onshore in US and able to travel to Irvine, CA up to 3 days/week during active CRP sessions.
