Your Role

As the Program Director, you will lead the strategic planning, governance, and execution of a nationwide deployment of Manhattan WMS and Order Management Systems (OMS) across 50+ CEVA-operated warehouse sites over the next 3 to 7 years. You will be accountable for building and managing cross-functional teams, ensuring successful integration with customer IT systems, delivering site-level execution, and maintaining stakeholder engagement throughout the program lifecycle.

This high-visibility role requires strong leadership, technical fluency with Manhattan products, and deep experience in 3PL logistics and warehouse operations.

  • Oversee system configuration, data migration, and functional integration with customer systems (ERP, TMS, EDI, etc.).
  • Partner with solution architects, developers, and integration teams to ensure scalable, repeatable deployments.

    • Customer & Stakeholder Engagement

  • Drive communication, transparency, and alignment across all internal stakeholders and external partners.
  • Conduct regular steering committee reviews, status reporting, and executive briefings.

    • Operational Excellence & Standardization

  • Ensure site readiness, SOP alignment, and staff preparedness at each warehouse location.
  • Work closely with site leaders, super users, process engineers, and training teams to develop documentation and ensure change adoption.
  • Drive continuous improvement across waves by applying lessons learned and enhancing the deployment model.

    • Financial Oversight & Resource Planning

  • Manage program budgets and staffing models.
  • Ensure financial goals are achieved without compromising quality or customer satisfaction.
  • Oversee resource allocation across functional workstreams (deployment, training, integration, support).

    • What We Are Looking For

    Education & Experience

  • Bachelor's degree in Business, Information Systems, Supply Chain, or related field; MBA preferred.
  • Minimum 10+ years of experience in logistics, supply chain, or IT program management roles.
  • 5+ years of experience deploying Manhattan and Associates (strong preference for Manhattan Active experience) WMS, OMS, and related products (e.g., SCI, TMS, Slotting Optimization).
  • Proven track record delivering large-scale, multi-site WMS rollouts in a 3PL or contract logistics environment.

    • Skills & Competencies

  • Deep understanding of Manhattan Active and / or legacy WMS and OMS product suites.
  • Strong technical understanding of system integrations (API, EDI, middleware).
  • Exceptional project / program management skills, including waterfall and agile methodologies.
  • Ability to lead large cross-functional teams, vendors, and external consultants.
  • Strong financial acumen and experience managing multi-million-dollar budgets.
  • Excellent interpersonal, communication, and executive stakeholder management skills.

    • Leadership & Problem-Solving

  • Strategic thinker and hands-on problem solver with a passion for operational excellence.
  • Comfortable navigating ambiguity and managing change at scale.
  • Inspiring team leader with a collaborative, people-first approach.

    • What Do We Have To Offer

  • Competitive executive compensation and annual performance incentives
