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
