Vice President, Enterprise Applications and Engineering – Supply Chain Solutions

As VP, Enterprise Applications and Engineering for Supply Chain Solutions, you will own both the application portfolio and engineering function for supply chain technologies. This includes responsibility for all packaged supply chain applications—such as Manhattan Associates (WMS/TMS), and VibeIQ—as well as select non-packaged applications and custom development required to enable supply chain operations. 

You will establish the structure, processes, and resources required for application management and support, which are not fully in place today, while also leading engineering for custom development and integration within the supply chain domain. You will partner closely with a strong Product Management team, which owns the primary relationship with business stakeholders, to define roadmaps and ensure delivery aligns with business priorities. Your leadership will be critical in building a scalable, reliable application and engineering ecosystem that supports Fanatics’ growth ambitions and readiness for a potential IPO.
