- Lead current-state assessments, fit-gap analysis, solution optioning, process harmonization, and future-state design across inbound, outbound, internal warehouse, yard, labor, transportation, billing, and automation processes.
- Translate business requirements and operational constraints into end-to-end functional and technical designs, integration patterns, data flows, configuration direction, and implementation plans.

- Establish and enforce design principles, reusable patterns, guardrails, and decision records that improve scalability, security, resilience, supportability, compliance, and total cost of ownership.
- Partner with business and technology leaders to define measurable outcomes, develop investment recommendations, manage solution financial impacts, and track value realization.
- Lead and influence solution architects, functional and technical SMEs, domain experts, system integrators, vendors, and cross-functional delivery teams without relying solely on direct authority.
- Drive vendor and implementation-partner accountability through clear scope, architecture expectations, deliverable reviews, quality standards, risk management, and outcome-based governance.
- Guide modernization, automation, and innovation opportunities, including robotics, conveyance, sortation, automated storage and retrieval, voice/vision technologies, labor optimization, and data-driven logistics decisions.

- Strong stakeholder management, executive communication, facilitation, negotiation, and decision-making skills.
- Ability to balance business value, user experience, operational continuity, regulatory needs, cost, technical sustainability, and delivery risk.
- Knowledge of regulated distribution, pharmaceutical/healthcare supply chain, third-party logistics, or high-volume warehouse operations is strongly valued.
Business Experience:- Bachelor's degree or equivalent combination of education and experience.
- Typically requires 7+ years of relevant professional experience, including sustained responsibility for SAP logistics, warehouse, transportation, or supply-chain solutions.
- Demonstrated hands-on SAP delivery experience and progressive responsibility from functional or technical SME roles into solution or domain architecture leadership.
