We're looking for a Transport Management System (TMS) specialist to join Microlise and help customers transform their transport operations through the successful delivery of Transport Management System solutions.

You'll have the opportunity to work with some of the UK's leading transport and logistics operators, helping them improve efficiency, reduce costs and optimise their operations through innovative technology.
If you're passionate about transport technology, enjoy solving complex operational challenges and want to be recognised for your TMS expertise, we'd love to hear from you.

As a trusted TMS expert, you'll work closely with customers throughout the implementation lifecycle, ensuring solutions are configured effectively and deliver measurable operational improvements. You'll:
Lead the implementation, configuration and optimisation of Transport Management System solutions
Run customer workshops to understand transport operations, planning processes and business requirements

Support customers through User Acceptance Testing (UAT), validating workflows and ensuring operational readiness
Troubleshoot planning, execution and configuration issues, identifying practical solutions and workarounds
Deliver customer training on planning, dispatch, execution monitoring, exception management and reporting functionality
Support go-live activities and provide post-implementation optimisation recommendations
Work closely with customers to help them maximise the value of their TMS investment
Test and validate TMS functionality, integrations and operational processes before deployment
Collaborate with Product, Development and Support teams to resolve issues and drive continuous improvement
Manage delivery activities, risks and issues to ensure successful customer outcomes
What We're Looking For
Proven hands-on experience with a Transport Management System (TMS)
Experience configuring, implementing or optimising TMS solutions
Strong understanding of transport, fleet and logistics operations
Experience supporting customers through implementations, UAT, go-live and post-implementation optimisation
Ability to translate operational requirements into effective system solutions
Experience working with integrated business systems such as ERP, WMS, telematics or mobile applications
Strong problem-solving and troubleshooting skills
Excellent customer-facing communication and stakeholder management skills
