• Proven ability to lead functional design workshops and translate operational needs into scalable system solutions.

• Experience with multi-site or global Blue Yonder WMS implementations, including cross-functional coordination.

• Familiarity with warehouse automation and MHE integrations (e.g., conveyors, robotics, sortation systems).

• Strong understanding of system testing lifecycles, including SIT, UAT, and defect management processes.
