• Ensure uninterrupted flow of product‑related EDI transactions throughout migration and cutover activities
• Analyze existing EDI assets (maps, connections, protocols, certificates) and rebuild them in Sterling Integrator
• Perform parallel testing, validation, and controlled production cutovers
• Coordinate with internal technical teams and external trading partners to support migration timelines
• Manage AS2, SFTP, and VAN connectivity during migration windows
• Troubleshoot migration‑related issues across mapping, transport, and integration layers
• Create and maintain migration documentation, validation results, and cutover artifacts
• Represent the EDI migration team in project planning and execution sessions
• Operate independently in a high‑visibility, high‑pressure migration environment
