WHAT YOU'LL DO
As our Sr. NetSuite Administrator & Architect, you'll own both sides of it: the hands-on administration (security, configuration, data integrity, releases) and the design authority over where it goes next. The business identifies what's needed, and you decide how the platform delivers it - accountable for keeping it stable, well-documented, and built to scale as we grow. You won't be one admin among several, and you won't spend your day buried in a ticket queue. You'll have real autonomy over how our ERP platform is designed and run, and real accountability for making sure that work outlasts any one person. You'll make an immediate impact by:
Platform Architecture & Roadmap
- Owning the NetSuite architecture end to end - the module landscape, the data model, custom record design, and how it all fits together as we grow
- Owning the multi-year technical roadmap alongside our product owner: what we adopt, what we retire, what we build
- Leading every "how should this be built" call - configuration vs. customization, module choice, integration pattern - documented before anyone writes a line of code
- Holding the line on configure-before-customize; every customization is a future upgrade cost that needs a reason that survives review
- Setting the technical standards our NetSuite contractors and integration vendors build to, and reviewing what they deliver
Integration & API Management
- Defining the integration architecture around NetSuite - the patterns, contracts, and standards every connected system is held to, from warehouse platforms to payment processors to customer-facing apps
- Owning the NetSuite side of every integration: endpoints, RESTlets, SuiteTalk, authentication, field mappings, error handling
- Governing API access - who connects, with what credentials, under what rate and volume expectations - and build the monitoring that catches failures before the business does
Security & User Administration
- Designing and maintaining roles, permissions, and segregation of duties across the platform
- Maintaining restricted access to sensitive financial and employee data, and auditing access on a defined cycle
- Holding admin-level access as one of a small, trusted few - and govern who else gets it
System Configuration & Enhancement
- Configuring forms, fields, records, workflows, and approval routings
- Enabling and maintaining modules across finance, inventory, manufacturing, quality, warranty, HRIS, CRM, and commerce
- Automating manual work with native functionality first - script is the last resort, not the first instinct
Release & Change Management
- Testing NetSuite's semiannual releases against our critical processes and coordinate the schedule with Oracle ACS
- Owning the production gate: nothing deploys without documented requirements, a test script, and business sign-off.
- Running impact analysis before every release, and validate every customization and integration after
Platform Health, Performance & Recoverability
- Monitoring script efficiency, governance limits, and response times - and plan ahead for growth in volume and storage
- Owning our data backup and export strategy: SaaS doesn't protect you from a bad mass update, and we need a tested way back
- Creating documented recovery procedures - what we restore, how, and how fast
Data Integrity & Automation
- Maintaining master data integrity across items, BOMs, customers, vendors, and employees
- Designing and driving automation of high-volume, repetitive data work so the team handles exceptions instead of drowning in volume
- Supporting data migration during acquisitions and system implementations
Reporting & Analytics
- Building and maintaining the saved searches, dashboards, and KPIs most of the company uses to see what's actually happening - day in, day out
- Supporting SuiteAnalytics and our Power BI reporting layer
Business Partnership & Support
- Spotting efficiency opportunities across finance, ops, sales, manufacturing, and HR, and turn them into real system improvements
- Serving as the primary liaison to Oracle ACS and NetSuite Support - the case queue, the relationship, the development-hours budget, all of it
Documentation & Knowledge Sharing
- Documenting every configuration decision, customization, and integration you own - including the reasoning behind it
- Cross-training teammates deliberately, ensuring documentation isn't an afterthought
