Solution Architect – WMS

Job description

Position Description:

CGI's Winnipeg team is seeking an experienced Solution Architect / Implementation Specialist with deep, hands-on experience implementing Blue Yonder Warehouse Management System solutions. This role is designed for professionals who have taken WMS implementations from design through configuration and go‑live and can provide pragmatic architectural governance while collaborating closely with business stakeholders, client IT teams, and system integrators. 

While the role is less day‑to‑day hands‑on configuration, the ideal candidate must be able to go deep technically as needed, validate configuration decisions, ensure alignment with Blue Yonder best practices, and provide authoritative guidance throughout implementation and optimization phases.

Your future duties and responsibilities:

Solution Architecture & Design 
-Own and govern the end‑to‑end solution architecture for Blue Yonder WMS implementations, ensuring scalability, resilience, and alignment with CGI and client enterprise standards
-Translate business and operational requirements into practical WMS architectural designs, configuration strategies, and integration patterns
-Review and validate SI solution designs and configuration approaches to ensure adherence to Blue Yonder recommended practices and SaaS constraints

Implementation Oversight & Best Practices 
-Partner with client IT and business teams to ensure optimal configuration of warehouse processes including inbound, outbound, inventory, labor, yard, and automation interfaces
-Provide hands‑on technical insight when needed, including deep dives into configuration, troubleshooting, and performance optimization

Integration & Technical Governance 
-Define and oversee integration architecture between Blue Yonder WMS and adjacent systems

Stakeholder Collaboration & Enablement 
-Act as a trusted advisor to business leaders, operations, IT teams, and SIs throughout the program lifecycle
-Facilitate design reviews, configuration workshops, and risk assessments
-Mentor client teams on Blue Yonder WMS capabilities, limitations, and operational best practices

Required qualifications to be successful in this role:

-Your own story about your experience successfully implementing Blue Yonder WMS solutions
-Understanding of supply chain and logistics
-Ability to communicate effectively with technical and business stakeholders

CGI is providing a reasonable estimate of the pay range for this role. The determination of this range includes various factors including but not limited to skill set level, geographic market, experience and training, and licenses and certifications. Compensation decisions are dependent on the facts and circumstances of each case. A reasonable estimate of the current range is $85,000 to $165,000.

Use of the term ‘architect’ in this job posting refers to the technical sense related to Information Technology (IT) and does not imply that the individual practices architecture or possesses the requisite license as prescribed by the applicable provincial or territorial architect regulator. We are seeking individuals with expertise in IT architect-related functions, but licensure from an architect regulator is not a prerequisite for this position. Architecture is a regulated profession in Canada which is restricted in terms of use of titles and designation.
