NetSuite Product Specialist
Functional-Lead, Hands-On Developer
Position Overview:
We're hiring a NetSuite Product Specialist who spends the majority of their time on requirements gathering, process design, and stakeholder partnership — and who can also personally build and deploy the customizations, workflows, and scripts needed to support the business, following our established CI/CD deployment process. This role owns solutions end-to-end, from discovery through go-live, without needing to hand off routine development work to someone else.
What you will do:
Business Analysis (primary focus, ~75%)
- Own requirements gathering across Finance, Ops and other business stakeholders
- Translate business needs into functional specs, user stories, and process documentation
- Run fit-gap analysis: native NetSuite feature vs. SuiteApp vs. custom build
- Lead UAT planning and execution, and manage stakeholder sign-off
- Maintain the enhancement backlog and prioritize against business impact
- Document current-state and future-state process flows
- Act as the primary point of contact for “how do we do X in NetSuite” questions
Development & Deployment (supporting, ~25%)
- Build routine customizations: custom fields/records/forms, saved searches, SuiteFlow workflows
- Write and maintain light-to-moderate SuiteScript (2.x) — User Event, Client, and Scheduled scripts for common use cases
- Deploy changes following our CI/CD pipeline: sandbox → test → production, using SDF and Git-based version control
- Participate in code review and release processes rather than working ad hoc in production
- Escalate and partner with a developer or contractor for complex integrations, Map/Reduce scripts, or heavy custom builds outside scope
Financial Process & Reporting Expertise
- Deep functional knowledge of core NetSuite financial processes: Quote-to-Cash (Q2C) and Record-to-Report (R2R)
- Hands-on experience configuring Advanced Revenue Management (ARM) and revenue recognition (ASC 606) rules
- Proficiency building and maintaining custom financial statements with Financial Report Builder (income statement, balance sheet, cash flow)
- Experience with OneWorld multi-subsidiary consolidations, multi-currency, and intercompany processes
- Familiarity with SuiteAnalytics (saved searches, datasets, workbooks) for financial and operational reporting
Administration
- Manage roles, permissions, and configuration changes
- Maintain technical and functional documentation for all customizations
- Monitor for governance limit issues and flag when a change needs deeper development involvement
What you will need:
- 5+ years of NetSuite experience, primarily in a functional/business analyst capacity
- Working proficiency in SuiteScript 2.x (User Event, Client, Scheduled scripts) — comfortable reading, modifying, and writing scripts independently, without needing expert-level depth
- Familiarity with SuiteFlow and SuiteBuilder for workflow and customization builds
- Understanding of CI/CD concepts as applied to NetSuite: sandbox/test/production promotion, SDF, version control (Git), and structured release cycles — comfortable working within an existing pipeline
- Strong written and verbal communication skills; this person will spend most of their time with business stakeholders
- Experience running fit-gap analysis and coordinating UAT
Preferred / Nice-to-Have:
- NetSuite certifications (SuiteFoundation, ERP Consultant)
- Exposure to SuiteTalk/REST APIs or middleware
- Familiarity with Agile/Scrum ceremonies for internal IT / business systems work
What you will gain:
