Job Description

• We are seeking a highly experienced Senior Technical Program Manager to lead large-scale enterprise implementation and transformation programs, particularly within Supply Chain Management (SCM), Warehouse Management Systems (WMS), logistics, and distribution.
• The ideal candidate will have extensive experience managing complex, multi-vendor, multi-workstream technology transformation programs involving multiple enterprise platforms, business functions, and globally distributed teams.
• The candidate will be responsible for driving the overall Blue Yonder (formerly JDA) transformation program, ensuring successful delivery across technology and business workstreams. Strong experience with Blue Yonder implementations, preferably Transportation Management System (TMS), is highly desirable.
• This is a hands-on program delivery leadership role requiring both strategic oversight and execution-level involvement in integrated planning, dependencies, risk management, testing readiness, deployment, and overall program governance.

Mandatory Skills & Qualifications:

• Strong experience in Supply Chain Management (SCM), Warehouse Management Systems (WMS), logistics, or distribution.
• Proven experience managing global programs involving geographically distributed teams.
• Strong understanding of enterprise application ecosystems, ERP platforms, system integrations, and middleware technologies.
• Experience managing SIT, UAT, deployment, cutover, and hypercare activities.
• Strong program governance, integrated planning, risk management, and executive stakeholder management skills.
• Excellent communication, leadership, and problem-solving capabilities.

Preferred Skills:

• Hands-on or program leadership experience with Blue Yonder (JDA) implementations.
• Blue Yonder Transportation Management System (TMS) experience is highly preferred.
• Blue Yonder WMS implementation experience.
• Exposure to MuleSoft or other enterprise integration platforms such as Boomi and Informatica.
• PMP or PgMP certification preferred.
• Experience managing large enterprise transformation programs and implementation partners.
• Proven enterprise transformation delivery leader rather than a traditional PMO or project reporting manager.
• Strong ownership of end-to-end program delivery and business outcomes.
• Ability to manage multiple vendors, workstreams, and global teams.
• Comfortable engaging senior executives while managing detailed execution activities.
• Strong experience driving complex supply chain technology implementations.
