[Hiring] EDI Specialist @Sales Consulting

2d ago - Sales Consulting is hiring a remote EDI Specialist. πŸ’Έ Salary: unspecified πŸ“Location: Americas, Europe

Role Description

The EDI Specialist owns the full Electronic Data Interchange lifecycle for the company's Americas and Mexico operations: setup, mapping, monitoring, incident resolution, and AMS governance. The role is based in Germany with remote working flexibility and a strong operational focus on the US entity.

Main Responsibilities

  • EDI Operations & Daily Incident Management:
    • Monitor all OEM and trading partner ASN transmissions daily; own resolution of failures end-to-end to protect customer scorecards.
    • Serve as first-line escalation for EDI errors; diagnose root causes in SAP IDoc/EDIFACT/X12 mapping, partner connectivity, and acknowledgement failures - without waiting for AMS.
    • Coordinate directly with OEM EDI portals and trading partner teams; maintain a documented log of all incidents, fixes, and recurrence patterns.
    • Establish a dedicated EDI test environment with key OEM partners to eliminate the current risk of validating all changes in the productive SAP system.
  • EDI Setup & New Partner Onboarding:
    • Lead setup and go-live of 100+ new supplier and customer EDI connections in the USA - covering inbound purchasing and outbound shipping/invoice.
    • Own all EDI workstreams for the Mexico plant launch, including connectivity, mapping, and cutover planning.
    • Define and document repeatable EDI onboarding procedures: mapping specifications, test scripts, acceptance criteria, and partner communication templates.
  • SAP EDI Configuration & AMS Governance:
    • Configure and maintain SAP EDI partner profiles, IDoc types (DESADV, ORDERS, INVOIC, DELFOR), message control, output determination, and NACE settings.
    • Act as the informed client-side owner for AMS EDI work: review proposed changes, validate in test before approving for production, and challenge effort estimates where warranted.
    • Drive measurable reduction in AMS EDI spend by internalizing recurring configuration and monitoring tasks.
  • Governance, Reporting & Knowledge Management:
    • Maintain a live EDI status register covering: open connections, pending onboardings, known issues, scorecard risk items, and resolution timelines.
    • Report weekly to IT and Operations leadership on OEM scorecard metrics, open incidents, and pipeline progress.
    • Build and maintain an EDI documentation library (mapping specs, partner profiles, test evidence, runbooks) to eliminate single-person dependency and enable knowledge transfer.

Qualifications

  • Proven knowledge of minimum 3-5 years with one of the most common EDI systems (e.g. Axway or Seeburger), but preferred with Lobster.
  • Deep knowledge of ANSI X12 transaction sets: 856 ASN, 862 Ship Schedule, 850/860 PO, 810 Invoice - and EDIFACT equivalents (DESADV, DELFOR, ORDERS, INVOIC).
  • Proven SAP EDI configuration experience: partner profiles, IDoc types, WE20/WE21/BD64, output determination (NACE), and message control.
  • Familiarity with automotive OEM EDI portals and scorecard mechanics (e.g. ASN compliance scoring, penalty frameworks).
  • Ability to independently diagnose and resolve EDI failures; read IDoc error logs and partner acknowledgement codes without relying on AMS.
  • Strong written English; able to communicate directly with OEM EDI teams and international stakeholders across time zones.
