• Apply knowledge of micro-services, APIs and other integration technologies to build sturdy, scalable links between internal systems and 3PL platforms.
• Debug SAP to find, analyse and fix complex problems caused by 3PL integrations, keeping disruption to operations to a minimum.
• Write test cases, support user acceptance testing and confirm integrated solutions are reliable and high quality before release.
• Serve as the main link between business users, IT teams and 3PL partners, keeping communication clear and expectations managed across project lifecycles.
• Track how integrated solutions perform, collect feedback and suggest ways to improve and optimise them.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Strong communication, presentation and interpersonal skills, with the ability to explain complex technical ideas to non-technical stakeholders.
