Manager - Warehouse Automation & Solution Design

BearingPoint United Kingdom
London

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)

Why work for us?

This includes private health and dental insurance, pension contributions, annual bonuses, gym membership support, professional subscriptions, paid maternity and paternity leave, income protection, nursery workplace benefits and many more.
