MAWM Project Manager

IN PARTNERSHIP WITH

ABOUT BRICZ

Founded in 2013 and headquartered in Atlanta, GA, Bricz is a supply chain solutions firm built on a solution architect's mindset: we design before we build, validate before we deploy, and stay engaged long after go-live. We deliver full-stack Manhattan ActiveWarehouse Management implementations, from core platform configuration through custom integrations and the surrounding applications that turn a good implementation into a best-in-class operation. Our consultants come from inside the industry, and we measure our success the same way our clients do: by whether the client actually won. We're growing our project management bench to support an expanding portfolio of Manhattan ActiveWarehouse engagements.

OUR CULTURE

We're a small business with big goals, and we operate that way. Every idea is welcome here, as long as it comes with a plan for execution and a clear return. We move at the speed of our clients' businesses, which means loose requirements and mid-project pivots are the norm, not the exception, and we get things done anyway.
People and relationships come first, inside our team and with our clients. We're entrepreneurial and collaborative: we take ownership, work across boundaries, and step in where we're needed rather than waiting to be asked. We're proactive in our work and in how we communicate, surfacing issues and ideas before anyone has to ask.
If you have the right mindset to grow and learn with us, you can help build this business, not just work in it.
