About Fulfillment IQ (FIQ):
Fulfillment IQ is a supply chain engineering and transformation company that helps brands, retailers, and 3PLs design, build, and scale high-performance logistics operations.
We work at the intersection of strategy, operations, and technology where we solve complex, real-world problems across warehouse design, automation, order management, transportation, and end-to-end supply chain execution.
Our teams combine deep domain expertise with strong technical capability, delivering outcomes through consulting, systems implementation, and proprietary platforms that accelerate time-to-value and reduce delivery risk.
If you enjoy working in complex environments, partnering closely with clients, and seeing your work make a tangible impact on how global commerce moves, this is the place where your skills and judgment truly come to life.
Role Overview:
A strategic enterprise client has given feedback that solutions delivered to date solve the immediate problem but don't proactively surface alternative approaches with clear tradeoffs. This role owns that gap: leading new customer onboarding and scale upgrade initiatives, and acting as the techno-functional lead who brings multiple solution options, live demos/POCs, and informed recommendations to the client — rather than a single prescribed fix.
Mandate:
- Lead new customer onboarding and the scale upgrade project for the account as a techno-functional owner
- Translate client requirements (new interfaces, EDI, Receiving/Put-away, Wave templates, Picking, Packing and Shipping) into multiple solution options rather than a single fix
- Present pros/cons and demos/POCs for each option so the client can make an informed decision
Must Have:
- Techno-functional background in WMS (Manhattan Scale) with solution design experience
- Experience across multiple 3PL sites/facilities — not just a single-site background
- Demonstrated ability to build and present POCs/demos comparing multiple solution paths
- Strong client-facing communication and presentation skills
- Experience leading WMS implementations, upgrades, or large enhancement programs
- Ability to conduct business process workshops and requirement-gathering sessions
- Ability to create functional specifications and design documentation
- Ability to provide effort estimations and implementation recommendations
- Ability to partner with technical teams to ensure successful solution delivery
- Ability to present proposed solutions to operational and executive stakeholders
Nice to Have: Prior experience leading new customer onboarding or scale upgrade projects; EDI or complex interface design exposure
Key Responsibilities:
- Lead new customer onboarding and scale upgrade projects for the account
- Translate client requirements into multiple solution options with pros/cons
- Build and present POCs/demos to support client decision-making
- Act as the primary techno-functional point of contact for new initiatives on the account
- Conduct business process workshops and requirement gathering sessions
- Support scale upgrade and modernization projects
- Create functional specifications and design documentation
- Provide effort estimations and implementation recommendations
- Partner with technical teams to ensure successful solution delivery
- Present proposed solutions to operational and executive stakeholders
What Success Looks Like in the First 90 Days:
30 Days In:
- Ramp up on the account, current systems, and key stakeholder relationships
60 Days:
- Lead the first new customer onboarding or scale upgrade workstream
- Deliver the first options-based solution proposal (multiple paths with pros/cons) to the client
90 Days:
- Fully own solution design and SCALE WMS implementation for new initiatives on the account
- Demonstrate a repeatable ability to present multiple options with clear tradeoffs to the client
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs):
- Number of options-based solution proposals delivered (vs. single-fix recommendations)
- Client satisfaction/feedback on solution presentations and demos
- Time from requirement gathering to solution proposal delivery
- Onboarding/scale upgrade milestone adherence
- Quality and completeness of functional specifications and design documentation
