Role Summary:

Owns Lilly's B2B/EDI trading-partner integration platforms and administer — Axway B2Bi and IBM Ecommerce — ensuring reliable, compliant movement of transactional data between Lilly and its external partners, distributors and suppliers. This role restores and sustains service capability for partner-facing integrations, closing a critical skills gap in EDI standards and B2B protocol support.

Key Responsibilities:

• Administer and support Axway B2Bi and IBM Ecommerce platforms, including partner community configuration, translation maps, and message routing.
• Onboard new trading partners: configure AS2/OFTP2/SFTP connections, validate EDI envelopes (X12, EDIFACT), and certify test transactions before go-live.
• Monitor B2B transaction flows end-to-end; triage and resolve failed or delayed EDI transactions within SLA.
• Maintain translation/mapping logic for purchase orders, invoices, ASNs, and other standard EDI document types.
• Partner with upstream application teams (order management, supply chain, finance) to troubleshoot data integration issues across the B2B layer.
• Support platform patching, certificate renewals, and DR/failover testing for both platforms.
• Document partner configurations, runbooks, and standard operating procedures per Lilly IT standards.
• Participate in on-call rotation for partner-integration incidents.

Required Qualifications:

• 5+ years' experience administering or developing on Axway B2Bi (or equivalent B2B integration platform) and IBM Ecommerce.
• Working knowledge of IBM Ecommerce/Sterling-type B2B/order-integration platforms.
• Hands-on experience with EDI standards (X12 and/or EDIFACT) and B2B transport protocols (AS2, OFTP2, SFTP).
• Experience with trading-partner onboarding and certification processes.
• Familiarity with XML/flat-file translation and mapping tools.
• Strong incident troubleshooting skills in a 24×7 production environment.

What Success Looks Like: 

Partner transaction failures are resolved within SLA, new trading-partner onboarding time is reduced, and B2B/EDI knowledge is no longer a single-person dependency on the team.
Key Attributes :

•  Strong analytical and problem-solving skills. 
• Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced, incident-driven environment. 
• Team player with a proactive, ownership-driven mindset. 
• Willingness to work in shifts/on-call rotations as required by business needs. 
• Understanding ITIL processes — Incident, Problem, and Change Management. 
• Excellent communication skills and ability to work under pressure during production incidents. 

Preferred Qualifications:

• Exposure to adjacent Data Movement technologies (IBM MQ, Aspera) for cross-team collaboration.
• Scripting skills (Shell, Python) for automation of partner onboarding or monitoring tasks.
• Experience in a regulated/pharma environment with change-control and audit requirements.
