Job Title: MAWM Implementation Manager

Location: Atlanta, GA, United States (Remote)

Job Type: Full-Time

Reporting Line: Co-Founder & COO

Role Overview:

We are seeking an MAWM Implementation Manager who brings a strong blend of functional warehouse expertise, technical understanding, and program delivery leadership. This role goes beyond traditional WMS implementations, requiring an individual who can think holistically across systems, processes, and integrations.

The ideal candidate will have deep experience with MAWM implementations and a strong grasp of warehouse operations, as well as an understanding of how enterprise systems, integrations, and digital supply chain ecosystems function. You will play a key role in driving end-to-end implementations, bridging business needs with scalable, technology-driven solutions.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Lead end-to-end MAWM implementations across planning, design, build, testing, and deployment phases.
  • Go beyond traditional delivery by understanding how WMS interacts within the broader supply chain ecosystem (ERP, OMS, TMS, MHE/WCS).

Collaborate with business stakeholders, product owners, and engineering teams to define:
  • Warehouse processes (Inbound, Outbound, Inventory, Returns)
  • System workflows and user journeys
  • Integration points and dependencies across systems


  • Drive solution design and configuration strategies within MAWM, including functional modules and workflows.
  • Oversee integration design, including APIs, ProActive extensibility, and data mapping across host systems.
  • Ensure alignment between warehouse operations and system capabilities for scalable and efficient execution.
  • Act as a bridge between operations, engineering, and business teams to ensure solutions are practical, scalable, and technically sound.
  • Manage project timelines, risks, dependencies, and stakeholder communication throughout the implementation lifecycle.
  • Support testing (SIT/UAT), cutover planning, go-live, and post-implementation stabilization.


Required Skills & Experience:
  • 6-8 years of experience in WMS implementations, with strong expertise in Manhattan Active WMS (MAWM).
  • Proven experience leading end-to-end MAWM implementation programs.
  • Strong understanding of warehouse operations and distribution processes.
  • Demonstrated knowledge of MAWM architecture, APIs, ProActive framework, and configuration tools.
  • Experience with system integrations involving ERP, OMS, TMS, and MHE/WCS systems.
  • Ability to think in terms of end-to-end supply chain systems, not just isolated warehouse processes.
  • Strong program management, stakeholder management, and cross-functional leadership skills.
  • Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication abilities.


Preferred Qualifications:
  • Experience with multi-site or global MAWM rollouts.
  • Exposure to Supply Chain Intelligence (SCI), OMS, TMS, or LMS platforms.
  • Understanding of EDI frameworks and messaging in WMS integrations.
  • Experience in retail, eCommerce, or 3PL environments.
  • Manhattan certifications (MAWM/SCI) are a plus.
