Customer Advocacy & Engagement:
Demonstrate strong customer ownership by anticipating needs, identifying risks, and ensuring alignment between customer objectives and Blue Yonder’s solution strategy.
Lead enterprise-level discovery and architecture assessments, translating business objectives into scalable, integrated supply chain architectures.
Lead and deliver high impact strategic supply chain advisory engagements, including assessments, blueprint and design authority.
Own solution strategy for complex, high‑risk, or highly visible engagements, serving as the ultimate escalation point for architectural and solution challenges.
Portfolio & Solution Strategy
Define and evolve enterprise reference architectures and solution patterns that guide large‑scale deployments across the Blue Yonder portfolio.
Influence portfolio direction and solution strategy by translating customer and industry insights into actionable recommendations for Product, Services, and Go‑to‑Market leadership.
Shape how Blue Yonder positions end‑to‑end supply chain value, ensuring consistency, differentiation, and scalability across industries and regions.
Thought Leadership & Organizational Impact
Act as a global thought leader in supply chain transformation, representing Blue Yonder with customers, partners, and industry forums.
Mentor and coach Solution Advisors, raising the bar on solution quality, executive presence, and architectural rigor across the organization.
Shape and evolve Supply Chain Advisory offers and establish best practices for discovery, blueprinting, and design authority.
Partner closely with Sales, Product, and Services teams to ensure cohesive strategy, unified messaging, and seamless execution across major pursuits.
What we are looking for:
Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Business, Engineering, or related field; advanced degree strongly preferred.
Deep industry expertise in End-to-End Supply Chain planning for CPG, in management consulting, strategic advisory or relevant leadership roles within global organizations.
15+ years of experience in enterprise supply chain transformation or supply chain advisory roles.
Deep experience with Blue Yonder solutions strongly preferred; recognized industry credibility is a significant advantage.
Demonstrated success supporting or contributing to large SaaS pursuits (ideally $1M+).
Strong storytelling and executive presentation skills, including the ability to independently demo solutions and link strategy to business outcomes.
