Functional Specialist - WMS

Te Tūranga | About the role

Working as part of our Technology and Transformation function, this Functional Specialist – WMS role sits within our ERP applications team, with a strong focus on Dynamics 365 Warehouse Management Systems (WMS).

We are at early stages of implementing our WMS solution, which will become critical to the effective operation of Silver Fern Farms’ supply chain and manufacturing environments into the future. In this role, you’ll ensure these systems are well configured, optimised, and supported, driving efficiency and innovation to enable the business to succeed.

While initially project-focused during implementation (likely over the next 18 months) this role will become an enduring position within the business and remain a cornerstone of the ongoing success of our WMS.

You’ll act as the key link between business stakeholders and technical teams, translating functional requirements into scalable system solutions. From configuring D365 modules and supporting system integrations to troubleshooting issues and leading continuous improvement initiatives, your work will directly impact operational performance.

To Be Successful, You’ll Have

• 3+ years’ hands-on technical experience working with Microsoft Dynamics 365 WMS
• Experience in system configuration, support, testing, and continuous improvement initiatives
• Strong understanding of WMS functionality, workflows, and integrations within the Microsoft ecosystem

• Relevant tertiary qualification (or equivalent experience)
