Full Job Description
Job Title: WMS Solution Design Lead

Job Location: Atlanta, GA, United States (Onsite/Hybrid)

Job Type: Full-time, Permanent

Hiring Timeline: Immediate

Reporting Line: Co-Founder & COO

Travel Expectations: Up to 50% travel, based on customer requirements.

Existing Vacancy: Yes

Application Deadline: Open until Filled

Salary Range: 115K - 135K USD per year (negotiable)

Role Overview:

A strategic enterprise client has given feedback that solutions delivered to date solve the immediate problem but don't proactively surface alternative approaches with clear tradeoffs. This role owns that gap: leading new customer onboarding and scale upgrade initiatives, and acting as the techno-functional lead who brings multiple solution options, live demos/POCs, and informed recommendations to the client - rather than a single prescribed fix.

Mandate:
  • Lead new customer onboarding and the scale upgrade project for the account as a techno-functional owner
  • Translate client requirements (new interfaces, EDI, Receiving/Put-away, Wave templates, Picking, Packing and Shipping) into multiple solution options rather than a single fix
  • Present pros/cons and demos/POCs for each option so the client can make an informed decision


Must Have:
  • Techno-functional background in WMS (Manhattan Scale) with solution design experience
  • Experience across multiple 3PL sites/facilities - not just a single-site background
  • Demonstrated ability to build and present POCs/demos comparing multiple solution paths
  • Strong client-facing communication and presentation skills
  • Experience leading WMS implementations, upgrades, or large enhancement programs
  • Ability to conduct business process workshops and requirement-gathering sessions
  • Ability to create functional specifications and design documentation
  • Ability to provide effort estimations and implementation recommendations
  • Ability to partner with technical teams to ensure successful solution delivery
  • Ability to present proposed solutions to operational and executive stakeholders


Nice to Have: Prior experience leading new customer onboarding or scale upgrade projects; EDI or complex interface design exposure

Key Responsibilities:
  • Lead new customer onboarding and scale upgrade projects for the account
  • Translate client requirements into multiple solution options with pros/cons
  • Build and present POCs/demos to support client decision-making
  • Act as the primary techno-functional point of contact for new initiatives on the account
  • Conduct business process workshops and requirement gathering sessions
  • Support scale upgrade and modernization projects
  • Create functional specifications and design documentation
  • Provide effort estimations and implementation recommendations
  • Partner with technical teams to ensure successful solution delivery
  • Present proposed solutions to operational and executive stakeholders


What Success Looks Like in the First 90 Days:

30 Days In:
  • Ramp up on the account, current systems, and key stakeholder relationships


60 Days:
  • Lead the first new customer onboarding or scale upgrade workstream
  • Deliver the first options-based solution proposal (multiple paths with pros/cons) to the client


90 Days:
  • Fully own solution design and SCALE WMS implementation for new initiatives on the account
  • Demonstrate a repeatable ability to present multiple options with clear tradeoffs to the client


Key Performance Indicators (KPIs):
  • Number of options-based solution proposals delivered (vs. single-fix recommendations)
  • Client satisfaction/feedback on solution presentations and demos
  • Time from requirement gathering to solution proposal delivery
  • Onboarding/scale upgrade milestone adherence
  • Quality and completeness of functional specifications and design documentation
