As we continue to scale, we're looking for a strategic and hands-on Product Owner, Business Systems to join our technology team. This role will be embedded within our Engineering organization and will own our business systems roadmap, beginning with our enterprise migration to NetSuite and expanding to include the broader platforms that power our supply chain and fulfillment operations, including WMS and logistics/shipping software.

The ideal candidate combines strong product ownership fundamentals-including roadmap development, backlog management, and stakeholder collaboration-with deep NetSuite expertise. This is a product ownership role first; however, the successful candidate will serve as Maxwood's internal NetSuite expert, partnering closely with our implementation consultants to ensure the solution is designed, configured, and deployed to support both our current business needs and future growth. Comfort with technical concepts and integrations is essential, while hands-on coding experience is a plus-not a requirement.

This role reports directly to the Chief Information Officer (CIO) and works closely with other Product Owners to ensure alignment, share best practices, and coordinate cross-functional initiatives. The initial focus of this role will be leading our NetSuite implementation, followed by long-term ownership of our business systems portfolio.
What You'll Do
Phase 1: NetSuite Migration

• Own the end-to-end roadmap and delivery plan for our ERP migration to NetSuite in partnership with our implementation partner and Finance and Operations stakeholders.

• Manage cutover planning, go-live execution, contingency planning, and post-launch support.

Phase 2: Business Systems Product Ownership

• Own the long-term product roadmap for NetSuite, prioritizing enhancements, new modules, and integrations as the business grows.
• Expand ownership to the broader business systems portfolio over time, including WMS, logistics/shipping software, and other supply chain technologies.
• Partner with Finance and Operations leaders to translate evolving business needs into clear product requirements and priorities.
• Troubleshoot and coordinate resolution of integration issues between NetSuite and connected platforms, including Shopify, EDI, reporting tools, and other business systems.
