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. Qualifications & Minimum Eligibility Requirements 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 ServiceNow (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. #J-18808-Ljbffr ExecuSource
