Key Responsibilities

Feature Development & Administrative Tools
• Build administrative functionality within the Manager persona to update ABC Inventory Classifications via bulk list uploads or item-level adjustments.
• Create an intuitive frontend interface for managers to maintain the "do not count" warehouse location exclusion list.

UI/UX Optimization & Workflow Enhancements
• Redesign and streamline the frontline Counter persona interface, including removing redundant status screens.
• Build persistent filtering capabilities on the count sheet screen to retain date, location, and status filters across screen navigation.
• Implement automated queue refresh logic for incomplete count tasks, auto-closing tasks when underlying data is resolved.
• Collaborate with operational stakeholders to gather UI/UX feedback and implement usability enhancements across mobile and tablet interfaces.
Dataverse, Automation & Integrations
• Configure Microsoft Dataverse data models, entity relationships, and scheduled data sync processes.
• Build automated Power Automate flows to alert counters when Dataverse syncs complete and daily counting can begin.
• Create automated notification triggers within the Counter interface to confirm count completion.
• Connect existing Microsoft Copilot agents and explore Copilot Studio integration to assist with automated ABC inventory classification.
Documentation & Training Deliverables
• Author comprehensive, step-by-step end-user manuals and reference guides for both Manager and Counter personas.
• Maintain technical documentation detailing app architecture, schema changes, and workflow trigger logic.
Required Qualifications
• 4 or more years of hands-on experience building, enhancing, and maintaining Power Apps (Canvas and Model-Driven applications).
• Strong working knowledge of Microsoft Dataverse, including relational data modeling, entity permissions, and data refresh cycles.
• Proven experience building workflow automations and automated notifications using Power Automate.
• Demonstrated experience implementing role-based permissions and designing multi-persona applications (such as Manager vs. Field/Counter roles).
• Solid UI/UX design competency with the ability to create responsive layouts, persistent screen filters, and intuitive navigation.
• Experience building embedded reporting views or integrating Power BI dashboards within Power Platform solutions.
Preferred Qualifications
• Hands-on experience integrating barcode, QR code, or pallet ID / manifest scanning capabilities into mobile Power Apps.
• Experience connecting Microsoft Copilot or custom Copilot Studio agents to enterprise Power Platform solutions.
• Background developing applications for manufacturing, supply chain, logistics, or inventory management environments.
• Experience developing user documentation and instructional training manuals.
Core Skills & Attributes
• User-centered design sensibility focused on frontline worker usability and efficiency.
• Detail-oriented problem solver adept at troubleshooting data sync issues and screen state behaviors.

• Ability to operate independently and deliver reliable enhancements in an ongoing part-time capacity.
