Serve as a trusted advisor to customers and executive stakeholders, providing industry best practices, solution recommendations, and leadership throughout the project lifecycle from discovery to post-go-live support.

What you’ll do

• Lead business process analysis and design during the sales cycle and throughout development; create functional and technical specifications.
• Prepare and deliver presentations to user, management, and executive audiences.
• Assist Project Managers with planning and create detailed tasks for project plans, including sales‑cycle and post‑go‑live enhancements.
• Demonstrate and facilitate integration discussions of product functionality and architecture (e.g., end‑to‑end data and process flows).
• Identify and communicate incremental revenue and enhancement opportunities.
• Communicate business cases and product trend insights to management to influence future functionality and solution offerings.
• Develop or lead teams in producing functional specs for modifications, interfaces, reports, and screens that meet customer objectives and best‑practice design.
• Ensure knowledge transfer with Cloud Services, Consulting Services, and Support stakeholders.
• Advise customers on industry best practices and process methodologies; tailor Blue Yonder solutions to customer uniqueness and industry verticals.
• Serve as the functional liaison in key meetings between Project Managers, customer contacts, users, and executive sponsors.
• Work with consulting, Product Management, and Pre‑Sales to recommend which Blue Yonder applications solve specific business challenges.
• Help define functional and technical specs to ensure efficient implementation and integration between technical and functional requirements.

What we are looking for

• 13+ years of professional experience in enterprise software delivery; at least 6–8 years in solution architecture or senior consulting roles.
• Proven track record leading end‑to‑end implementations for large, complex customers (requirements, design, integration, configuration, UAT, cutover).
• Hands‑on experience estimating implementation effort, scoping integrations, and defining architecture cost and labor.
• Strong domain experience in retail supply chain, planning, allocation, merchandising, or closely related verticals.
• Demonstrated ability to run business process workshops and translate outcomes into functional and technical specifications.
• Experience facilitating integration and data/process flow discussions across application stacks.
• Experience advising executive and management stakeholders and delivering executive‑level presentations.
• Strong stakeholder management across Pre‑Sales, Product Management, Cloud Services, Consulting, Operations, and Customer IT.
• Experience mentoring teams and conducting knowledge transfer to internal stakeholders.

Additional skills

• Prior experience with Blue Yonder product suite or equivalent retail planning/allocation platforms.
• Experience with multi‑tenant SaaS delivery, cloud migrations, and enterprise SaaS operations.
• Working knowledge of CI/CD, containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Familiarity with integration technologies and patterns (REST APIs, Kafka, Mulesoft, SFTP, AS2) and modern data platforms (Snowflake, Elasticsearch).
• Prior involvement in pre‑sales scoping and the ability to identify incremental revenue opportunities.
