Brave thinking. Passion for performance. Solutions that last.

Safer Storage Systems (SSS), a leading Australian warehouse solutions provider and local pallet racking manufacturer, has been acquired by Element Logic®, the first and largest AutoStore® partner worldwide and warehouse automation technology provider. SSS Joins Element Logic

At Element Logic, we don’t just automate warehouses - we optimize warehouse performance. By combining intelligent automation, deep operational expertise, and a strong people‑first culture, we help ambitious businesses turn complexity into simplicity and gain a lasting competitive advantage.

We are now looking for a Solution Manager to strengthen our Automation team in Australia - a senior role for someone who is driven by understanding operations first and designing solutions that truly work.

This role operates as a solutions leadership position, carrying architectural, commercial, and cross‑functional responsibility from first customer insight to final proposal. At Element Logic, great commercial results come from great solutions, built on insight, collaboration, and trust.

Your mission:

You will lead the development of robust, data‑driven automation concepts that help our customers make confident, long‑term investment decisions.

Working closely with the Head of Automation, our global solution experts, and local sales and engineering teams, you will ensure that every proposal reflects real operational reality, not assumptions - and that every solution aligns with our promise of performance, reliability, and scalability.

What you’ll do

Understand before you design

• Engage directly with customers to understand how their operations truly run - from order profiles and SKU velocity to labour models and peak variability

• Lead structured operational analyses and sensitivity modelling to challenge assumptions and ensure resilient solutions

• Facilitate discovery workshops that align stakeholders across operations, management, and executive leadership

Shape intelligent automation solutions

• Lead the development of conceptual automation architectures aligned to customer goals and validated operational insight

• Translate data into system sizing, throughput logic, and ROI frameworks

• Ensure solutions reflect the entire warehouse ecosystem - workflows, service levels, risks, and day‑to‑day operations

• Guide design engineers across layouts, specifications, and system concepts covering Goods‑to‑Person, shuttle/ASRS, conveyor, and mobile robotics solutions

Support sales with technical integrity

• Partner closely with sales to define scope, clarify requirements, and shape competitive, solution‑led proposals

• Safeguard the technical and analytical quality of all submissions - layouts, calculations, assumptions, and performance commitments

• Develop and present ROI models, total cost of ownership, and executive‑level business cases

• Lead RFP and RFI responses with clarity, credibility, and confidence

Be a trusted partner - internally and externally

• Build long‑term relationships with customer stakeholders from warehouse floor to boardroom

• Act as the voice of the customer within Element Logic, feeding operational insight back into solution standards and strategy

• Collaborate globally with Element Logic’s solution architects, data teams, and software specialists

Who you are

You are someone who:

• Thinks solutions first, always starting with the operational problem

• Is analytically strong and comfortable challenging assumptions with data

• Builds trust through humility, clarity, and technical credibility

• Enjoys collaboration in a non‑hierarchical, international environment

• Is genuinely passionate about logistics, automation, and performance improvement

What you bring

Essential

• 7+ years’ experience in solution design, pre‑sales engineering, or technical consulting within warehouse automation or intralogistics

• Strong understanding of warehouse operations and distribution workflows

• Proven ability to analyse operational datasets and translate insight into system architecture and business cases

• Experience developing integrated automation concepts across multiple technologies

• Confidence presenting complex solutions to senior operational and executive stakeholders

Nice to have

• Hands‑on exposure to Goods‑to‑Person, shuttle/ASRS, conveyor/sortation, or mobile robotics

• Familiarity with WMS, WES, or WCS environments

• Experience across industries such as retail, e‑commerce, 3PL, FMCG, pharma, or cold chain
