• Map and document business processes, data flows, system interactions, integration points, and dependencies across Shopify and connected systems.
• Evaluate how customer, order, product, and inventory data is exchanged between Shopify and the ERP, identifying process gaps, risks, inefficiencies, and opportunities for improvement.
• Partner closely with IT, operations, ecommerce, supply chain, finance, and leadership stakeholders to gather requirements, validate findings, and ensure full visibility into current workflows and system behavior.
• Prepare and deliver clear and comprehensive synopsis documentation, including architectural diagrams, process maps, integration overviews, and recommendations for future-state considerations.
• Facilitate cross-functional meetings, workshops, and interviews to obtain a complete understanding of business needs and technical constraints.

• Strong analytical and documentation skills, including process mapping, data flow diagrams, and requirements definition.
• Ability to operate independently, manage multiple workstreams, and navigate ambiguity in a fast-paced environment.
• Exceptional communication skills with the ability to engage effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
