EDI Systems Specialist

Description

Maytronics, the leading innovator in pool cleaning technology, is in search of a talented EDI & Systems Specialist responsible for ensuring reliable, compliant, and efficient electronic data interchange between Maytronics, retail customers, and partners. This role monitors daily EDI transaction flow, troubleshoots issues, supports retailer-specific compliance requirements, and partners cross-functionally to resolve root causes through sustainable business and system process improvements. This is an in-office position based in our Duluth, GA location.

Responsibilities:

·        Monitor and troubleshoot daily EDI integrations and transaction flows between Maytronics, retail customers, and partners.

·        Investigate transaction failures, data discrepancies, mapping issues, document rejections, and connectivity concerns to ensure timely and accurate processing of critical EDI documents.

·        Proactively identify when EDI issues indicate broader business process gaps and escalate concerns to the appropriate stakeholders in Sales, Operations, Finance, IT, and other impacted teams.

·        Drive process-level resolution of recurring issues rather than relying on ongoing manual corrections within external retail customer or partner platforms.

·        Perform immediate manual intervention when necessary to release critical documents, while ensuring that each intervention is paired with a long-term corrective action or process improvement.

·        Maintain strong knowledge of EDI requirements and compliance standards for major retail customers, including Walmart, Home Depot, Lowe’s, and other key trading partners.

·        Translate retailer-specific EDI requirements into actionable business and system processes for internal Maytronics teams.

·        Analyze available retail customer and partner platform capabilities, identify functional gaps, and determine whether solutions can be leveraged directly within those platforms or require internal backend system development.

·        Partner with IT and business stakeholders to define, test, and implement system or process changes needed to achieve and maintain full EDI compliance.

·        Document EDI processes, issue resolution steps, retailer requirements, root causes, corrective actions, and escalation paths to support repeatable and sustainable operations.

·        Serve as a subject matter expert and internal point of contact for EDI-related questions, compliance updates, platform capabilities, and transaction flow issues.

·        Work with business leaders and IT to accurately document processes as needed.

·        Support implementation of new systems and functionality
