• Developing SOPs, process documentation, and user training materials.
• Analysing operational data to identify opportunities for improvement.
• Supporting change initiatives and driving adoption of new processes and system enhancements.
• Acting as a key point of contact for Manhattan AWMS-related queries.

About You

Essential

• Robust experience supporting Manhattan Active WMS
• Strong understanding of warehouse and distribution operations.
• Experience troubleshooting applications, integrations, and warehouse devices.
• Experience supporting testing, deployments, and system enhancements.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.

Desirable

• Experience in multi-site or international distribution environments.
• Knowledge of SAP S/4HANA integrations.
• Experience with APIs, Postman, XML, and EDI.
• Continuous improvement and process optimisation experience.

Why Join Us?

This is a fantastic opportunity to become a key part of our IT team and play an instrumental role in the continued evolution of Manhattan Active WMS , helping to shape how technology supports our distribution operations across EMEA.

We take your wellbeing seriously, with programmes and support for both physical and mental health. You’ll also have free access to our onsite gym and can enjoy fresh, affordable meals in our subsidised restaurant.

Looking ahead, we offer a salary sacrifice pension scheme, employee assistance support, and financial guidance to help you plan for the future.
