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, solving 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
Fulfillment IQ is expanding its Blue Yonder practice within our Enterprise Systems Implementation team and is seeking a senior Blue Yonder WMS Design Lead / Solution Architect to lead solution design for complex warehouse transformation programs.
The Design Lead will own the end-to-end functional and technical solution design for Blue Yonder WMS implementations, translating business and operational requirements into scalable warehouse solutions and providing clear direction to configuration, integration, testing, and delivery teams.
This role will serve as a senior design authority throughout the engagement—from discovery and solution design through configuration, testing, deployment, go-live, and hypercare. The Design Lead will work closely with client business and IT stakeholders, FIQ delivery teams, integration teams, and warehouse automation partners to ensure solutions are scalable, maintainable, and aligned with Blue Yonder standard capabilities.
Engagements may include large retailers and 3PLs, template-based multi-site rollouts, legacy WMS migrations, complex distribution operations, and highly automated distribution centers involving ASRS, AMRs, WCS/MHE, sortation, conveyance, print-and-apply, parcel, and other material-handling technologies.
This is a highly client-facing leadership role requiring deep Blue Yonder WMS expertise, strong solution architecture capabilities, and the ability to influence stakeholders, challenge requirements, and drive teams toward a common solution. Hands-on experience with the Blue Yonder Cognitive platform is required, as current engagements are being delivered on Cognitive WMS.
Mandate:
Own the end-to-end functional and technical solution design for Blue Yonder WMS implementations.
Translate business processes and operational requirements into scalable Blue Yonder WMS solutions.
Establish solution design principles and ensure configuration teams remain aligned with approved requirements, architecture, templates, and design decisions.
Challenge requirements and proposed customizations where standard Blue Yonder functionality can meet the business need.
Determine the appropriate use of standard functionality, configuration, extensions, customization, and integrations.
Provide design governance throughout configuration, testing, deployment, and hypercare.
Lead integration design discussions across ERP, middleware, WCS/MHE, automation, parcel, transportation, and labeling platforms.
Identify solution risks, dependencies, assumptions, and design gaps early and drive them to resolution.
