• Establish operational dashboards and controls for interface health, transaction success rates, carrier performance, delivery status, fulfillment exceptions, and root‑cause analysis.
• Lead cross‑functional testing including system integration testing, user acceptance testing, end‑to‑end partner testing, cutover readiness, and post‑launch stabilization.
• Create training materials and enable internal teams and external partners to operate new logistics processes effectively.

• Proficiency with B2B and integration standards (EDI, XML, APIs, IDocs, flat files), message mapping, validation, acknowledgments, monitoring, and error resolution.
• Ability to apply agentic automation concepts to automate repetitive onboarding tasks, detect and resolve transaction exceptions, and support operational decision‑making with appropriate human oversight.
• Knowledge of EDI standards such as ANSI X12 and EDIFACT for logistics‑related order, shipment, inventory, status, and invoicing transactions.
• Excellent stakeholder‑management, problem‑solving, project‑management, communication, documentation, and change‑management skills.
