Manager - Warehouse Automation & Solution Design
BearingPoint is one of Europe’s leading independent, partner led technology services and business consulting organisation and a highly regarded strategic partner for our clients.
We are looking for a Manager with strong experience in warehouse automation, intralogistics, and solution design to join our Supply Chain & Operations team. This role is focused on helping clients design, assess, and implement automated warehouse and distribution solutions, rather than day-to-day warehouse operations management.
You will act as a trusted advisor to clients, leading workstreams and projects from concept and business case through to solution design and implementation support, working closely with technology vendors, systems integrators, and client stakeholders.
Key Responsibilities
Client Delivery & Solution Design
Lead and deliver consulting engagements focused on warehouse automation, intralogistics and distribution network optimisation
Design end-to-end warehouse solutions, covering processes, layout, automation technologies, systems, and operating model
Assess and compare automation options (e.g. AS/RS, AMRs, robotics, conveyors, sortation, goods-to-person solutions)
Develop future-state blueprints, including functional requirements, high-level technical architecture, and roadmap
Build business cases and ROI models for automation investments
Support clients through vendor selection, RFPs, and evaluation of technology partners
Provide oversight and assurance during implementation phases, working alongside integrators and internal teams
Stakeholder & Team Leadership
Manage project teams and workstreams, coaching consultants and senior consultants
Act as a key client-facing lead, engaging with senior supply chain, operations, and IT stakeholders
Translate technical and operational complexity into clear recommendations for executive audiences
Contribute to project governance, risk management, and quality assurance
Practice & Business Development
Support business development through solution shaping, proposal writing, and client pitches
Contribute to the development of BearingPoint’s warehouse automation offerings, assets, and viewpoints
Build relationships with automation vendors, technology partners, and system integrators
Skills & Experience
Essential
Proven consulting or industry experience in warehouse automation, intralogistics, or warehouse solution design
Strong understanding of warehouse processes (inbound, storage, picking, packing, outbound, returns)
Experience designing or assessing automated warehouse solutions and supporting technology selection
Ability to develop business cases and financial models for supply chain investments
Strong stakeholder management and client-facing communication skills
Structured, analytical problem-solving approach
Desirable
Experience working with or selecting WMS, WCS, or WES platforms
Exposure to large-scale distribution centres, omni-channel or e-commerce fulfilment environments
Experience working with system integrators or automation vendors
Knowledge of broader supply chain transformation topics (network design, planning, S&OP, operating models)
