• Configure Manhattan Active WM to support inbound receiving, putaway, inventory management, replenishment, wave and order management, picking, packing, and outbound shipping.
• Build and execute test scripts across unit, string, integration, and user acceptance testing; document defects and drive them to resolution.
• Support conference room pilots, data conversion validation, and cutover planning.

• Act as the resident expert on Manhattan Active WM configuration, troubleshooting production issues and performing root‑cause analysis.
• Own the quarterly Manhattan Active release cycle: evaluate new functionality, regression test, and coordinate business validation.
• Translate operational requirements from Distribution, Merchandising, Customer Service, and Finance into system solutions.
• Develop and maintain operational reporting and dashboards covering throughput, labor productivity, inventory accuracy, and order fulfillment performance.
• Identify and implement continuous improvement opportunities in slotting, wave strategy, task management, and labor utilization.
