Manhattan Active WMS Implementation Consultant

This role is a senior‑level WMS implementation consultant focused on Manhattan Active, based out of Seattle. You’ll be the go‑to person for end‑to‑end deployments, bridging warehouse hardware, TMS and integration teams.

What You'll Actually Be Doing

You’ll own the full lifecycle of Manhattan Active roll‑outs: run design workshops, write detailed design docs, configure the system, and build custom extensions when the out‑of‑the‑box features fall short. Day‑to‑day you’ll be juggling host‑system interfaces, appointment scheduling, MHE/WCS integration, and TMS coordination, making sure data flows cleanly across all moving parts while keeping the project timeline on track.

The Core Tech Stack

The non‑negotiables are deep knowledge of Manhattan Active WMS (configuration, master data, and extension development) and hands‑on experience creating proactive extensions. You also need to be comfortable with warehouse hardware (MHE, WCS) and TMS APIs, because the job is as much about wiring systems together as it is about the WMS itself. Strong design‑session facilitation and documentation skills are critical to keep every stakeholder aligned.

Interview Expectations

• Expect a scenario where you’re asked to design a custom extension to handle a non‑standard inbound workflow. The interviewer will probe how you’d use proactive extensions, what data model changes you’d make, and how you’d test integration with the host system – they want to see you can translate a business need into clean, maintainable code.
• Another likely question will dive into a past end‑to‑end implementation you led: they’ll ask for specifics on how you coordinated between the MHE team, the TMS group, and the interface developers, looking for evidence you can manage cross‑functional dependencies and resolve conflicts under pressure.

Application Advice

Tailor your résumé to highlight “Manhattan Active” and “proactive extensions” right up front, and sprinkle in phrases like “design sessions,” “end‑to‑end implementation,” and “integration with MHE/WCS/TMS.” Quantify your experience (e.g., “12+ years delivering WMS projects, 2 full lifecycle Manhattan Active deployments”) and list the exact tools you used (e.g., “Manhattan Active Configurator, SQL, REST APIs”). Those keywords will get you past most ATS filters and signal you’ve done exactly what this role demands.
