• 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.
