Manager Implementations & Turnarounds - System Support | Continental Europe

Join GXO Logistics in a pivotal role supporting Warehouse Management System (WMS) implementations across Continental and Central Europe. As an Implementation Support Specialist, you will act as the essential link between operations, IT and local site teams, ensuring that our Blue Yonder deployments are delivered smoothly, adopted with confidence, and aligned with operational objectives.

With a strong focus on Blue Yonder (BY Discrete / BY Cognitive), you will train local key users, gather and align requirements alongside IT and operations, and provide hands-on support before, during and after go-live. This is a hybrid role that combines the technical depth of a Key User with the project-oriented scope of an implementation lead, offering the opportunity to travel across Europe and make a tangible impact on our sites.

What does your day look like as an Implementation Support Specialist?

• Go-live implementation support: Provide hands-on support throughout WMS go-lives and business turnarounds, serving as the functional and IT counterpart to local teams to ensure a seamless cutover and prompt issue resolution.
• Training and enablement: Design and deliver structured training programs for local key users and end users on Blue Yonder functionalities, fostering understanding and self-sufficiency at the site level.
• Requirements and solution alignment: Collaborate closely with IT and operations to capture, define and constructively challenge requirements, translating operational needs into robust functional designs.
• WMS troubleshooting and support: Diagnose and resolve issues arising within the WMS, identify enhancements, and convert requests into IT solutions, escalating to central or EU IT teams and vendors where appropriate.
• Process design and best practice: Contribute to functional designs, blueprints and work instructions, and implement best practices on the shop floor to ensure operational efficiency.
• Continuous improvement: Leverage WMS data and analytics to monitor key metrics, support post-go-live stabilisation, and drive continuous improvement initiatives.

What we offer you

• A dynamic, international organisation in which development and personal contribution are central.
• The opportunity to work regularly at various GXO locations across Europe.
• A role with significant responsibility, where no two days are the same.
• An enterprising, open and informal organisational culture.
• A flexible base location; you may be based anywhere in Europe.

What do you need to be successful?

• Essential: demonstrable working knowledge of Blue Yonder – BY Discrete or BY Cognitive.
• Solid operational and warehouse knowledge, complemented by a sound understanding of IT processes.
• At least a basic level of project management knowledge and experience.
• A minimum of 3 years' experience in a WMS implementation, key user or operational systems support role.
• Proven experience of training key users and end users, and of working alongside IT and operations on requirements and go-live support.
• A Bachelor's or Master's degree in Supply Chain, Logistics, IT Systems, or equivalent professional experience.
• Knowledge of reporting tools (Power BI, Qlik, Tableau) is considered an advantage.
• The flexibility to travel extensively across Europe, including at short notice and for extended periods.

Fluent English & French, both verbal and written, is essential. Any additional language is a plus.

Preferably based in Île-de-France; may be based anywhere in Europe
