As a senior specialist, you will proactively engage with stakeholders to clarify requirements and guide them through the intricacies of EDI and logistics integration. Your expertise will be critical in increasing the efficiency of our implementation projects, reducing lead times, and delivering high-quality outcomes.

- Coordinate and drive integration testing with customers and internal teams, ensuring rapid issue resolution and continuous improvement.
- Troubleshoot integration issues, providing senior-level root cause analysis and strategic solutions.
- Champion ongoing optimization and documentation of EDI processes, setting standards for best practice within the team.
- Collaborate closely with logistics operations to ensure all integrations support and enhance transportation and warehouse workflows.
- Mentor junior team members and contribute to the development of internal EDI expertise.
Requirements
- Extensive experience in EDI standards, processes, and integration concepts, with a proven track record of delivering complex projects in logistics or supply chain environments.
- Deep understanding of logistical transportation and warehouse processes, with the ability to translate operational needs into technical solutions.
- Demonstrated ability to work with middleware platforms (preferably BizTalk) and ERP systems such as SAP.
- Advanced technical proficiency in data structures (e.g., XML, flat files, JSON, EDIFACT).
- Exceptional communication, stakeholder management, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to clarify and shape requirements in dynamic environments.
- Strong independent working capability, combined with a collaborative approach within a small, high-performing IT team.
- Fluent in English, any other European language is a plus, * Working knowledge of the Common Data Model (CDM).
- Experience with custom-built WMS platforms.
- Proficiency in German or Dutch is a plus.
- Familiarity with integration tools or standards beyond BizTalk (e.g., API-based integrations, AS2, EDIFACT).New job description here
