We are seeking a visionary, high-level Lead TMS Solutions Architect & Configurator to elevate and scale our global supply chain infrastructure. While we currently utilize Manhattan Associates TM Active
, we welcome enterprise leaders with deep expertise in any Tier-1 TMS ecosystem (Oracle OTM, SAP TM, Blue Yonder, etc.).

This is not a position for a standard administrator who simply takes configuration orders. We need an architect-minded strategist who can guide a talented team of 5-6 configurators, elevate application performance, and design a high-volume transportation roadmap capable of supporting an aggressive 5-year commercial business expansion.

• Solution Architecture & Design:
  Own the end-to-end technical strategy for the TMS. Translate high-level business goals into concrete, scalable low-level and high-level architecture layouts.
• Advanced System Configuration:
  Lead the technical configuration, testing, implementation, and support workflows for our enterprise transportation management ecosystems.
• Strategic Business Alignment:
  Partner directly with Directors, Product Managers, and cross-functional business units to align system configurations with broader corporate commercial expansion goals.
• Team Leadership & Mentorship:
  Act as the strategic anchor and technical mentor for a team of 5-6 systems configurators, championing continuous optimization and a growth mindset.
• Integration & Lifecycle Optimization:
  Analyze end-to-end data flows and data translation rules across complex relational databases. Validate that application requirements align cleanly with downstream warehouse, inventory, and supply chain applications.
• Agile
  
  Collaboration:
  
  Drive project velocity by collaborating with Product Owners to define technical user stories, manage sprint planning, and refine backlogs.
• Risk & Change Mitigation:
  Evaluate system health, run root-cause analysis (RCA) on defect patterns, and architect proactive upgrades to guarantee highly secure, 24/7 technical infrastructure availability.

• Proven Domain Tenure: 10+ years of dedicated system configuration and implementation experience within large-scale, enterprise supply chain environments.
• Design
  
  Experience:
  
  At least 3+ years operating in a technical Solution Design or Systems Architect capacity.
• Platform Flexibility:
  Hands-on mastery of any major enterprise TMS application suite. Direct experience with Manhattan Associates TM Active software is considered a significant advantage.
• Technical Stamina:
  Solid foundation in relational database architecture with practical experience running SQL queries (MySQL/Postgres), parsing JSON data structures, and utilizing Postman for API/integration verification.
• Analytical Tools:
  Highly proficient in advanced Excel workflows (VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, macros, data modeling).
• Agile & System Tools:
  Practical experience using modern test and change management frameworks, such as qTest (Test Case Management) and Service Now (Help Desk Platform).
• Education Policy:
  Practical experience is our priority. A Bachelor's degree is preferred, but equivalent professional experience will be fully substituted on a 1:1 year basis.
