Job description

Senior Engineering Manager - Warehouse Technology

• Full-time

ABOUT THE ROLE At H&M Group, we believe technology plays a key role in enabling creativity, sustainability, and scale across our brands. Our logistics technology landscape is central to that journey, enabling reliable, efficient, and increasingly automated warehouse operations across our global network.

We are now looking for a Senior Engineering Manager for Warehouse Technology, a new role within the Gray Box product area that supports technology in highly automated, omnichannel warehouses. This is an opportunity to lead engineering delivery across complex warehouse environments and help ensure that systems, automation, infrastructure, and partner solutions work effectively from end to end. Please note, that this is a Senior Individual contributor role and will have the opportunity to lead through influence rather than formal staff responsibility.

ABOUT THE TEAM As Senior Engineering Manager, you will take on a senior individual contributor role focused on leading engineering delivery rather than formal people management. You will drive the day-to-day technical execution of a large, distributed team during a major warehouse implementation phase and be accountable for delivery outcomes, while line management and direct people responsibilities remain with our competence managers.

Your mission is to create clarity across a complex technology landscape, align internal teams and external partners, and ensure that the solutions delivered meet our standards for security, reliability, supportability, and operational performance. You will work closely with the Product Manager and influence technical priorities through expertise, structure, and delivery leadership rather than through formal reporting lines.

The team currently includes more than 30 engineers distributed across Sweden, India, and Eastern Europe. Periodic travel and presence at warehouse locations, particularly in Eastern Europe, will be an important part of building context, supporting delivery, and enabling strong collaboration across teams and partners.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Lead the daily engineering delivery of a large, distributed team across complex warehouse technology initiatives
• Own end-to-end technical coherence across warehouse management, execution, automation, network, infrastructure, and partner-provided services
• Partner with the Product Manager to align engineering priorities, product direction, and business outcomes
• Ensure solutions align with H&M Group standards, security guidelines, and infrastructure guardrails
• Guide technical decisions involving SAP Extended Warehouse Management, warehouse execution technologies, automation, and systems integration
• Work directly with vendors and technology partners, creating transparency, clear expectations, and shared accountability for delivery
• Build strong relationships with internal core technology teams that provide enabling services, including network and infrastructure capabilities
• Collaborate with warehouse leaders, business experts, and operational stakeholders to connect technology performance with business needs
• Establish robust processes for KPI tracking, issue resolution, operational follow-up, and continuous improvement after go-live
• Provide visible and proactive leadership at warehouse sites when needed, helping the team move from learning and understanding into strong execution and delivery

WHO YOU’LL WORK WITH You will be a part of the Warehouse Area under the Supply Chain Tech and work in close partnership with the Product Manager and collaborate with engineers, competence managers, internal core technology teams, warehouse leaders, business experts, vendors, and implementation partners.

WHO YOU ARE We believe you are a senior engineering leader with hands-on experience delivering technology solutions in complex warehouses, logistics, or supply chain environments. You understand how warehouse operations, business processes, software systems, automation platforms, and infrastructure come together to create reliable end-to-end solutions at scale.

You likely bring experience in several of the following areas:

Warehouse & Supply Chain Technology

Deep understanding of Warehouse Management Systems (WMS), preferably SAP Extended Warehouse Management (SAP EWM)

Experience integrating SAP EWM with surrounding enterprise systems, automation platforms, and warehouse execution technologies

Knowledge of logistics, fulfillment, distribution center, or warehouse operations and the technology supporting them

Experience supporting large-scale warehouse implementations, go-lives, or operational transformations

Understanding of warehouse execution processes

Experience from warehouse automation technology including robotics, ASRS, and sortation systems

Strong experience in designing or governing integrations across multiple technology domains

Ability to understand and manage dependencies between business applications, automation systems, networks, infrastructure, and partner-provided solutions

Experience working with APIs, middleware, event-driven architectures, or enterprise integration platforms

Understanding of technical governance, security requirements, infrastructure standards, and operational support models

Engineering Delivery Leadership

Proven experience leading large, distributed engineering teams through complex delivery programs

Experience coordinating engineers, consultants, vendors, and cross-functional stakeholders across multiple locations and time zones

Ability to drive engineering execution, technical decision-making, prioritization, risk management, and delivery outcomes

Experience leading through influence in environments where formal people management responsibilities are separate from delivery leadership

Stakeholder & Partner Management

Experience collaborating with Product Managers, business stakeholders, operations leaders, technology teams, and external partners

Ability to translate technical complexity into business impact and operational outcomes

Strong vendor management skills with experience holding implementation partners accountable for delivery and service quality
