Key Responsibilities
- Review and interpret WMS user stories, functional design documents, and L3/L4 process flows to identify Day 1 operational scenarios across receiving, put away, pick, pack, shipping, and inventory management
- Develop detailed business-facing user scripts that guide warehouse users through system-driven workflows, aligned to the defined end-to-end business processes
- Ensure each script accurately represents core Day 1 functionality and is traceable back to documented business requirements and design artifacts
- Collaborate with functional leads from different parts of the organization to confirm script content aligns with the agreed process design and Day 1 operational scope
- Identify gaps, dependencies, or inconsistencies across design artifacts and raise clarification requests to functional leads
- Deliver final user script package and supporting documentation as part of the Operational Readiness deliverable set
- Provide structured input to facilitate future SIT and UAT teams, ensuring continuity and traceability of functional scenarios post-handoff
- Experience in warehouse operations and/or WMS implementations
- Minimum of 3–5 full-cycle WMS implementations (preferably Manhattan)
- Deep functional knowledge of order fulfillment, inventory control, receiving, put-away, and shipping operations
- Proven ability to translate functional designs and process maps into clear, business-ready procedural documentation
- Experience defining and maintaining L3/L4 process flows and warehouse business rules, or identifying where we should have rules to minimize downstream testing impacts
- Familiarity with Manhattan WMS architecture and integration touchpoints with planning, procurement, and finance systems
- Strong analytical and communication skills with attention to detail and structured documentation discipline
- Ability to work independently in a multi-stakeholder environment with minimal supervision
Duration:
