Sr. Enterprise Solution Architect (ESA) – Fleet Management

Blue Yonder | Execution Portfolio

Role Summary

As a Sr. Enterprise Solution Architect (ESA) focused on Fleet Management within Blue Yonder’s Execution portfolio, you will play a pivotal role in designing, guiding, and ensuring the successful delivery of end-to-end fleet and transportation execution solutions for our customers.

You will act as a trusted advisor for large-scale supply chain transformation initiatives, combining deep operational expertise in fleet-based businesses with strong solution and value-oriented architecture skills. Your responsibility goes beyond solution design : you will take ownership for the brilliance of the outcome, ensuring that Blue Yonder Fleet Management solutions are implemented in a way that delivers measurable operational, financial, and strategic value.

Key Responsibilities

Lead solution architecture and functional design for enterprise-scale implementations of Blue Yonder Fleet Management, including integration with Transportation, Warehouse, and broader Execution and Planning solutions.

Apply deep understanding of fleet operational use cases, including :

• Long-distance and continuous move operations
• Dedicated and recurring route-based fleet scenarios
• Regional distribution networks
• Highly dynamic first- and last-mile execution with minute-level planning precision

Advise customers on where and how Fleet Management technology creates value, aligning algorithms, constraints, and execution logic with real-world operational models.

Translate customer business models into scalable, future-proof solution concepts, considering optimisation algorithms, constraints, cost drivers, and service trade-offs.

Analyse current (“As-Is”) fleet, transportation, and execution architectures and define future-state (“To-Be”) designs with clear transition and value-realisation roadmaps.

Create and own end-to-end solution concepts, ensuring interoperability across planning, execution, and external partner ecosystems.

Act as a functional and architectural authority throughout the project lifecycle, guiding implementation teams to ensure solution quality and delivery excellence.

Support and coach project teams with best-practice guidance, design validation, and problem-solving to ensure solutions meet intended business outcomes.

Serve as a senior partner to Blue Yonder’s largest customers, accompanying them on their supply chain transformation journey and building long-term, trust-based relationships.

Support sales and pre-sales activities from a functional, operational, and value-based perspective, convincingly articulating solution benefits and transformation paths.

Deliver compelling presentations and workshops for operational leaders, management, and executive stakeholders.

Identify opportunities for optimisation, expansion, and incremental value creation in collaboration with customer account teams.

Ensure robust knowledge transfer to customer organisations, enabling sustainable operations and continuous improvement post go-live.

Collaborate closely with Product Management and Development to provide field feedback, align on roadmap evolution, and stay current on new capabilities.

Required Skills & Experience

Minimum 10 years of experience in fleet management, transportation execution, or supply chain execution environments.

Extensive hands‑on knowledge of fleet-based operational models, including long-haul, regional, recurring, and last-mile scenarios.

Strong understanding of optimisation algorithms, constraints, and planning logic used in fleet and execution systems.

Proven experience leading or significantly influencing successful technology implementations with measurable business impact.

Ability to bridge operational reality and enterprise software solutions, translating business needs into scalable architectures.

Strong personal presence with the ability to convince, guide, and influence customers and internal stakeholders.

Willingness and ability to travel to customer sites as required.

Background in IT, enterprise software, or solution architecture is helpful but not mandatory.

Preferred Qualifications

First‑hand operational experience running or managing fleet, transportation, or logistics operations.

Experience working across industries adopting fleet and execution solutions (e.g. retail, manufacturing, consumer goods, logistics service providers).

Familiarity with SaaS‑based execution platforms, cloud‑native architectures, and integrated supply chain ecosystems.

Experience in consulting, transformation, or enterprise solution architecture roles.

Work Environment

Role is primarily home‑office based, with an official office location in Stuttgart.

Readiness to travel is expected to support customers, projects, and strategic engagements.
