Responsibilities

Monitor and troubleshoot daily EDI integrations and transaction flows between Maytronics, retail customers, and partners.
Investigate transaction failures, data discrepancies, mapping issues, document rejections, and connectivity concerns to ensure timely and accurate processing of critical EDI documents.
Proactively identify when EDI issues indicate broader business process gaps and escalate concerns to the appropriate stakeholders in Sales, Operations, Finance, IT, and other impacted teams.
Drive process-level resolution of recurring issues rather than relying on ongoing manual corrections within external retail customer or partner platforms.
Perform immediate manual intervention when necessary to release critical documents, while ensuring that each intervention is paired with a long-term corrective action or process improvement.
Maintain strong knowledge of EDI requirements and compliance standards for major retail customers, including Walmart, Home Depot, Lowe’s, and other key trading partners.
Translate retailer-specific EDI requirements into actionable business and system processes for internal Maytronics teams.
Analyze available retail customer and partner platform capabilities, identify functional gaps, and determine whether solutions can be leveraged directly within those platforms or require internal backend system development.
Partner with IT and business stakeholders to define, test, and implement system or process changes needed to achieve and maintain full EDI compliance.
Document EDI processes, issue resolution steps, retailer requirements, root causes, corrective actions, and escalation paths to support repeatable and sustainable operations.
Serve as a subject matter expert and internal point of contact for EDI-related questions, compliance updates, platform capabilities, and transaction flow issues.
Work with business leaders and IT to accurately document processes as needed.
Support implementation of new systems and functionality.
