What are the responsibilities and job description for the Technical Program Manager, Logistics (WMOS) - ONLY W2 position at Maven Companies?
Project Description
Client is seeking a highly experienced Senior Technical Program Manager to lead delivery of a strategic Warehouse Management transformation program centered around the implementation and rollout of Manhattan WMOS (Warehouse Management for Open Systems).
This individual will serve as the senior program leader responsible for driving the overall delivery plan, managing complex cross-functional dependencies, and partnering directly with executive stakeholders across Technology, Product, Supply Chain, Logistics Operations, and third-party vendors.
The ideal candidate brings deep experience delivering large-scale warehouse management, ERP, manufacturing, or other enterprise vendor platform implementations from inception through deployment. While direct Manhattan WMOS experience is highly desirable, we are equally interested in candidates who have successfully led large, technically complex vendor-platform transformations and can quickly gain credibility across business and technical teams.
This is not a coordination-focused PM role. The successful candidate will be a hands-on leader who can independently drive execution, challenge assumptions, make informed recommendations, and operate as a trusted partner to senior Product and Delivery leadership. The role requires someone who can build the plan, own the plan, and drive accountability for execution across multiple workstreams and organizations.
