  • Hands-on experience maintaining at least one business-critical operational platform, such as a warehouse management system, warehouse automation or warehouse control system, transportation system, manufacturing/logistics platform, or another transaction-heavy enterprise application.
  • Demonstrated troubleshooting ability across application, database, interface, file/batch, operating-system, network/connectivity, and upstream/downstream dependencies.
  • Working knowledge of SQL sufficient to query and validate production data, investigate transaction state, and support incident analysis.
  • Experience with Microsoft Windows and/or Linux environments and the ability to interpret logs, services/processes, scheduled jobs, files, and basic system health indicators.
  • Experience using ServiceNow or a comparable IT service management platform, and practical understanding of incident, problem, change, request, escalation, and knowledge-management practices.
  • Ability to prioritize multiple issues, work independently when needed, follow controlled production procedures, and clearly document troubleshooting and recovery actions.

  • Communication and customer service skills.

Responsibilities

  • Administer, maintain, monitor, and provide operational oversight of assigned software applications.

  • Make decisions about suitable production-system changes to help the business perform its functions.
  • Research and troubleshoot end-to-end business flows rather than only a single application screen.
  • Monitor and support interfaces among software systems.

  • Identify recurring incident patterns and convert them into problem records, monitoring improvements, automation opportunities, knowledge articles, runbooks, or permanent corrective actions, engaging other IT teams and vendors as needed.
  • Follow established change controls for production data corrections or remediation.
  • Use ServiceNow or a comparable IT service management platform for incident, request, problem, change, knowledge, and service-level processes as applicable.
  • Create and maintain technical support documentation, troubleshooting guides, dependency maps, operational procedures, and end-user knowledge to improve first-time resolution and reduce repeat support demand.
  • Support application changes, releases, upgrades, configuration changes, and project transitions into operations; validate support readiness, monitoring, documentation, rollback expectations, and post-change stability.
  • Participate in Disaster Recovery and IT Business Continuity activities and help maintain operational readiness for business-critical supply chain services.
  • Meet technical and business service-level agreements and participate in an on-call rotation supporting a 24/7 multi-site distribution environment, including heightened support during peak retail periods.

Desired Qualifications

  • At least one year of experience in the retail operations support industry.
  • Experience supporting supply chain systems such as Catalyst, Manhattan, Blue Yonder, Korber, SAP EWS, or Oracle WMS.

About the Company

Family Dollar

Discount retailer offering low-cost household goods

Family Dollar provided a wide range of inexpensive goods at neighborhood stores, aiming to help shoppers save money on everyday items. Its core model was to offer value in small, convenient locations with merchandise priced at low levels, historically under two dollars. Customers access products by visiting brick‑and‑mortar stores in local communities rather than ordering online. The company stood apart from competitors through its emphasis on ultra-low prices and broad selection within small formats, later expanding through public growth and eventually becoming part of a larger consolidation when Dollar Tree acquired it in 2015. The overall goal was to help budget-conscious families stretch their dollars by offering convenient access to affordable goods.
