Solution Architect – WMS

Position Description

CGI's Winnipeg team is seeking an experienced Solution Architect / Implementation Specialist with deep, hands‑on experience implementing Blue Yonder Warehouse Management System solutions. This role is designed for professionals who have taken WMS implementations from design through configuration and go‑live and can provide pragmatic architectural governance while collaborating closely with business stakeholders, client IT teams, and system integrators. While the role is less day‑to‑day hands‑on configuration, the ideal candidate must be able to go deep technically as needed, validate configuration decisions, ensure alignment with Blue Yonder best practices, and provide authoritative guidance throughout implementation and optimization phases.

• Own and govern the end‑to‑end solution architecture for Blue Yonder WMS implementations, ensuring scalability, resilience, and alignment with CGI and client enterprise standards.
• Translate business and operational requirements into practical WMS architectural designs, configuration strategies, and integration patterns.
• Review and validate SI solution designs and configuration approaches to ensure adherence to Blue Yonder recommended practices and SaaS constraints.

• Partner with client IT and business teams to ensure optimal configuration of warehouse processes including inbound, outbound, inventory, labor, yard, and automation interfaces.
• Provide hands‑on technical insight when needed, including deep dives into configuration, troubleshooting, and performance optimization.

• Define and oversee integration architecture between Blue Yonder WMS and adjacent systems.

• Act as a trusted advisor to business leaders, operations, IT teams, and SIs throughout the program lifecycle.
• Facilitate design reviews, configuration workshops, and risk assessments.
• Mentor client teams on Blue Yonder WMS capabilities, limitations, and operational best practices.

• Experience successfully implementing Blue Yonder WMS solutions.
• Understanding of supply chain and logistics.
• Ability to communicate effectively with technical and business stakeholders.

Compensation for this role ranges from $85,000 to $165,000, inclusive of factors such as skill level, geographic market, experience, and certifications.
