• Work under the direction of the VP of IT and IT Programming Manager to manage approved programming projects and change requests.
• Interface with external consultants and vendors to ensure successful project delivery and support.

• Strong working knowledge of Island Pacific ERP; Lawson ERP experience is a plus.
• Familiarity with i5/OS, iSeries networking, and PC-based environments (Windows, MS Office, Lotus Notes).
• Proven experience supporting systems in a multi-outlet retail chain; eCommerce integration experience is highly desirable.
• Experience using tools and techniques including RLU, SDA, subfile programming, RPG Free Format, ILE, embedded SQL, FTP/SFTP, PGP encryption, overlays/page segments, and Avery label/barcode printers.
Skills:
• Excellent troubleshooting and problem management skills.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills (written and verbal).
• Fluent in customer service and able to communicate effectively with technical and non-technical users.
• Self-motivated, organized, and able to manage multiple tasks and priorities.
• Experience with change control/version management systems.
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced environment.
Compensation:
