providing guidance to optimal system usage by the operation.
As part of your key responsibilities you’ll look after:
* Change Implementation: Lead the implementation of Systems change within our warehouse facility, ensuring seamless integration
and alignment with business processes
* Business-IT Liaison: Act as the primary point of contact between business stakeholders and the IT team, translating business

* Incident Resolution: Provide technical expertise in resolving complex incidents
* System Optimization: Advise business users on best practices for utilising the WMS effectively
About You
We’d love you to have the following skills and experience, but please apply if you think you’d be able to perform well in this
role!
* WMS Expertise: In-depth knowledge and hands-on experience with the design, implementation and usage of Warehouse Management
Systems. Our system is SAP EWM but would welcome experience in JDA, Manhattan and other WMS providers
* Warehouse Management: Strong understanding of warehouse operations, inventory management, and logistics processes
* Change Management: Proficiency in managing complex system changes and enhancements
* Problem-Solving: Analytical mind-set with the ability to troubleshoot and resolve technical issues
* Communication: Excellent communication skills to collaborate with cross-functional teams and convey technical concepts to
non-technical stakeholders
* Project Management: Experience in leading system implementation projects
Our recruitment and selection process has been developed to ensure that it is consistent, fair and provides equality of
opportunity - all selection decisions are based solely on technical and behavioural competencies. We do not discriminate on the
grounds of race, colour, or nationality, ethnic or national origins, sex, gender reassignment, sexual orientation, marital or

characteristic as defined in the current Equality Act of England and Wales. As an organisation we also promote an environment
which encourages diversity of characteristics and thought, where you feel included, safe and confident to be the best version of
yourself and do your best work every day.
