That covers the handoffs where the WMS meets the yard, the dock, the TMS and the ERP, and where most of the manual exception work still lives.\nLoadsmart builds the systems of record for transportation and the dock: ShipperGuide (TMS) and OpenDock (dock, yard and gate scheduling). On top of them sits Loadsmart AI, a layer of agents that handle tendering, tracking, documents, scheduling, audits and claims for enterprise shippers. Next, we're extending that layer into warehouse operations. We know the transportation side deeply. We need someone who knows how warehouses really run, and how WMS data and transactions move between systems\nLOCATION: Chicago - Hybrid (Travel to customer sites up to about 15% ).\nTEAM: Product\nWHAT YOU GET TO DO:\nMap the seams. Document the cross-system workflows from dock to stock and from order to ship. Show where each event, object and decision lives across WMS, YMS, TMS and ERP.\n\nPick the workflows. Rank warehouse exception workflows by frequency, cost and how easily they can be automated, then decide which ones agents take on first.\n\nSpecify the agents. Define what each agent senses, decides and does, what it may write back to the WMS, and where a human stays in the loop.\n\nDesign the integrations. Work with engineering on how we read from and write to tier-1 WMS platforms: APIs, events, EDI, flat files and middleware.\n\nWork with operators, not just on documents. Spend real time on distribution center floors with design-partner customers. Sit with engineers as the domain expert, not as a ticket writer.\n\nArm the field. Help sales and solutions teams pitch and scope warehouse use cases credibly with VPs of distribution and their IT teams.\n\nREQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:\n6-10 years across warehouse operations and WMS implementation, integration or solution consulting.\n\nHands-on experience with at least two of: Manhattan (WMOS or Active WM), Blue Yonder WMS, SAP EWM, Oracle WMS Cloud, Körber/HighJump, Infor WMS.\n\nFluency in the WMS object model: ASNs, receipts, LPNs, putaway, replenishment, waves, tasks, picking, load building, ship confirm.\n\nYou've built or specified WMS-TMS-ERP integrations (EDI 856/940/945, APIs, middleware) and know where they break in production.\n\nTime on a distribution center floor, as a supervisor, engineer, analyst or on go-lives, enough that you know how the work actually happens versus how it's documented.\n\nProduct instinct. You'd rather build something repeatable once than configure it 50 times for 50 customers.\n\nComfort with ambiguity and with working closely with engineers who move fast.\n\nNICE TO HAVE QUALIFICATIONS:\nExperience with yard, dock scheduling or labor management systems.\n\nExposure to AI agents, LLM-based automation or orchestration platforms.\n\nPre-sales or solution consulting experience with enterprise shippers.\n\nSpanish or Portuguese fluency.","description_format":"text","description_chars":2934,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"Portuguese","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":true},{"language":"Spanish","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":true}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Transportation & Logistics","Logistics","Freight Forwarding","Supply Chain & Logistics Software"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-04T23:11:50Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"adverts_offering_sponsorship_24m":0,"sanctioned_now":false,"evidence":"Filed H-1B visas in the last two years","filings_12m":0,"filings_prev_12m":2,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":null,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-11-09T07:32:21+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":4,"expected_fill_days":62,"reasons":["conf:1","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-09T06:03:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":155000,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/loadsmart-warehouse-ai-orchestration-lead","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/loadsmart-warehouse-ai-orchestration-lead.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-09T12:43:26Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":16112,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-10T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":3062},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3062"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Floadsmart-warehouse-ai-orchestration-lead"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Floadsmart-warehouse-ai-orchestration-lead"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Floadsmart-warehouse-ai-orchestration-lead"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/loadsmart-warehouse-ai-orchestration-lead\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Floadsmart-warehouse-ai-orchestration-lead"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3775511}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"loadsmart.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3775511},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
