• Identify opportunities to automate manual processes, reduce unnecessary clicks, and eliminate repetitive data entry.
• Partner with software vendors and leadership to continually enhance system capabilities.
• Ensure operational platforms provide accurate visibility, traceability, and reporting throughout the ITAD lifecycle.

Execution

• Spend approximately half of your time working directly on the warehouse floor.
• Partner closely with the ITAD Operations Manager to successfully implement new operational processes.
• Personally train and mentor warehouse technicians on testing methodologies, grading standards, software updates, and emerging hardware platforms.
• Serve as the organization's highest level of technical escalation for complex hardware diagnostics, software issues, and data sanitization challenges.

Value
