• Support integration, testing, and ongoing troubleshooting of third-party-installed warehouse automation systems, particularly DTC fulfillment equipment at the new facility.
• Evaluate and deploy practical AI tools, including meeting note-takers, employee productivity tools, and website AI initiatives; train employees on adoption and appropriate use.
• Coordinate domain administration, UDRP filings, and transfers of recovered domains in partnership with legal counsel and external providers.
• Coordinate business systems needs, escalations, access, cybersecurity, and continuity planning with outsourced IT providers.

• Maintain clear documentation of business system configurations, integrations, access controls, procedures, and recovery plans; coordinate security and compliance needs with external providers.
• Serve as a proactive technology partner to employees and department leaders, translating business needs into practical solutions and taking accountability for execution and results.

What You’ll Bring To The Table:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or related field (or equivalent experience).
• 5-10 years of hands-on experience in systems engineering, IT operations, or infrastructure management.
• 3+ years of experience with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, or similar ERP system.
• 3+ years of experience with EDI and API standards and logic (SPS Commerce experience a plus).
• Experience with cloud-based WMS Platforms.
• Experience with Power BI, RDLC, and / or AL coding.
• Familiarity with warehouse operations, including fulfillment, inventory management, and supply chain processes.
