Job Description :Role Summary
We are seeking a hands-on EDI Mapping Specialist to accelerate trading partner onboarding and stabilize EDI connectivity during a high-urgency modernization and migration effort. This role focuses on building and troubleshooting EDI maps, supporting translation workflows, and improving onboarding speed through repeatable templates and automation-minded execution. Candidates must be true “doers” with deep mapping experience—not only integration/middleware generalists.
Our client has an urgent need for 3–5 strong EDI mapping resources (contract) with hands-on EDI mapping expertise, specifically capable of supporting a migration path from Trusted Link (TLI) to IBM ITXA / “ITX Advanced” and executing fast onboarding/changes within strict timelines. This client emphasized that quality and hands-on mapping wins over years-of-experience labels, and that automation/self-service portal thinking is a key differentiator for winning longer-term work.
Immediate Request
What he needs
• Role type: Contract roles (not FTE) — “as many people as you have, three, four, five.”
• Profile: “EDI mappers… hands-on experience” (not just EDI-adjacent integration engineers).
• Tooling / platform: Move from Trusted Link (TLI) to ITXA (IBM translator tool).
Key Responsibilities
• Build, maintain, and troubleshoot EDI maps and translation logic across standard X12 transaction sets in high-volume environments.
• Support platform transition work involving legacy EDI tooling and translation engines, including environments leveraging Trusted Link and IBM translation capabilities (ITXA experience strongly preferred).
• Execute and improve trading partner onboarding processes (customers, suppliers, and financial partners) with a focus on speed, repeatability, and quality.
• Create reusable mapping templates, validation rules, exception-handling patterns, and testing playbooks to reduce cycle time and rework.
• Collaborate with onshore leads, cross-functional stakeholders, and partner IT teams to diagnose issues quickly and keep onboarding/operations moving.
• Contribute to automation and self-service enablement concepts (portal thinking, standardized intake, repeatable workflows) to reduce long-term run-team size.
Required Qualifications (Must-Haves)
• Hands-on EDI mapping experience with core X12 supply chain transactions — candidates must have directly built and supported mappings for 850 (Purchase Order), 855 (PO Acknowledgement), 856 (ASN), and 810 (Invoice) in production (not just general EDI familiarity).
• Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot mapping failures by analyzing the transaction content and map logic (not only middleware/connectivity layers).
• Industry experience where those transactions are common — logistics, healthcare supply chain, distribution, or retail ecosystems (experience must show real trading-partner onboarding and production support).
• Experience with enterprise EDI tooling ecosystems (e.g., IBM Sterling Integrator; familiarity with Trusted Link; ITXA exposure preferred).
Strong communication discipline: proactive status, clear explanations, and fast turnaround in business hours.
Required/Preferred Skills : Preferred Qualifications (Nice-to-Haves)
• Healthcare supply chain, distributor, hospital-system, or similarly complex B2B trading partner ecosystems. (etc. Walmart, CVS)
• Prior experience helping design or implement automation for onboarding (templating, repeatable workflows, improved testing/validation).
• Experience supporting large trading partner populations and long-lived maps maintained over many years.
Performance Expectations (What Success Looks Like)
• Shorten onboarding cycle time through improved mapping reuse, faster troubleshooting, an Demonstrate “automation-minded” execution: identify patterns across partner onboarding, recommend template standards, and reduce manual effort.
• Operate with strong responsiveness during business hours to support stakeholders and partner IT teams.
