Position Summary

The Warehouse Automation Business Analyst serves as a key liaison between business stakeholders, operations teams, warehouse automation engineering, and technology delivery teams. This role combines traditional business analysis practices with deep domain expertise in warehouse operations, material flow, and automated distribution center technologies.

Unlike a traditional Business Analyst who focuses primarily on business processes and requirements documentation, the Warehouse Automation Business Analyst must understand how products physically move through a distribution center and how warehouse automation systems interact to support operational execution. This includes Warehouse Management Systems (WMS), Warehouse Control Systems (WCS), automated material handling equipment, robotics, sortation systems, conveyors, A-Frames, OSRs, and related technologies.

The role is responsible for eliciting and documenting requirements, facilitating stakeholder alignment, supporting solution design, leading operational validation activities, and ensuring successful deployment of automation solutions that deliver measurable business value. The analyst collaborates closely with operations, engineering, software development, infrastructure, and automation vendors throughout the project lifecycle from concept through go-live and stabilization.

• Identify system dependencies, data flow requirements, interface impacts, and operational risks.
• Collaborate with architects, developers, vendors, and engineers to ensure solution designs meet business and operational needs.

• Develop test scenarios and validation criteria that reflect real-world distribution center operations.
