About the role
This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Mirakl Dropship Configuration Lead (Contract) based in the United States.
This contract opportunity is ideal for a seasoned Mirakl specialist who can lead dropship configuration and large-scale vendor migration for an enterprise commerce transformation. You will play a central role in transitioning an established vendor network to Mirakl while supporting a new Shopify-based commerce platform. Working alongside program management, architecture, and engineering teams, you will own the Mirakl configuration workstream from discovery and design through launch and post-launch support. Your responsibilities will include designing catalog structures, configuring workflows, coordinating vendor onboarding, and ensuring seamless integration between Mirakl and Shopify. You will also guide technical migration activities, develop testing strategies, and help minimize disruption to existing vendor operations and live orders. This remote-first engagement offers flexible working hours, with increased availability required during critical migration milestones. Expected to last approximately 6–9 months, the project provides an opportunity to deliver a complex enterprise implementation with measurable operational impact.
Accountabilities
-
Lead discovery and solution design: Assess the existing Mirakl environment, review responsibilities and ownership arrangements, identify configuration gaps, and design the dropship operating model. Define catalog and attribute structures, category mapping, offer and inventory rules, and order, shipping, cancellation, and returns workflows.
-
Own Mirakl configuration: Configure the platform according to established best practices, document configuration decisions, establish catalog templates and validation rules, and develop standardized vendor onboarding workflows.
-
Coordinate Shopify integration: Collaborate with architects and engineering leads to define how orders and status updates flow between Mirakl and Shopify. Explain integration requirements, identify technical constraints, and flag requirements that could introduce unnecessary custom development within Mirakl.
-
Plan and execute vendor migration: Develop a structured migration strategy for approximately 30 existing vendors, potentially expanding to 50 or more, alongside new vendors joining the program. Segment vendors by integration method, including Shopify connectors, EDI, SPS Commerce, APIs, and file-based integrations.
-
Manage vendor onboarding: Pilot the onboarding approach with new vendors before migrating the existing vendor network. Support parallel operations with the incumbent marketplace provider and coordinate the transition of remaining vendors while minimizing disruption to live orders.
-
Provide technical guidance and documentation: Prepare vendor onboarding guides, facilitate group training sessions, document configuration decisions, and communicate technical requirements clearly to stakeholders. Serve as the primary Mirakl subject-matter expert while the client retains ownership of vendor relationships.
-
Drive testing and launch readiness: Develop Mirakl test scenarios for the system integration testing plan, support test execution, identify configuration issues, and coordinate their resolution before launch.
-
Support go-live and hypercare: Provide hands-on support during cutover and post-launch stabilization, monitor risks and outstanding issues, and prepare operational runbooks for handover to the client's operations team.
-
Maintain delivery visibility: Keep the program manager informed of progress, dependencies, technical challenges, and risks to the project timeline throughout discovery, build, migration, and hypercare.
-
Mirakl expertise: At least three years of hands-on experience with Mirakl
