We are seeking a hands-on individual contributor to take ownership of the performance, reliability, and evolution of our NetSuite environment and financial systems. This role is ideal for someone who wants to become the organization's definitive NetSuite subject-matter expert - not by managing a team, but by serving as the strategic and operational owner of the platform.
You will lead the configuration, integrations, data integrity, controls, and overall roadmap for NetSuite, ensuring the platform effectively supports our finance function and broader business needs. This is an opportunity to have significant ownership and influence over how our financial systems operate, while building deep expertise in one of the company's most critical platforms.
You'll sit at the intersection of accounting, finance, and technology (with operational visibility). Some of your time will be strategic: shaping the platform roadmap, identifying opportunities for automation, and deciding what we should build next. Other days will be highly tactical: sitting with the AP team, Procurement, AR to understand why a workflow is broken and fix it before lunch.
We're looking for someone who is comfortable getting into the details of how the business actually operates. You'll uncover the shadow spreadsheets, manual workarounds, and process gaps that have accumulated over time; understand why they're there; and turn them into scalable solutions within the system.
The best improvements won't always come from a perfectly written requirements document. They'll come from your ability to see where work is unnecessarily difficult and determine how technology, process, or both can make it better.
Key ResponsibilitiesOwn and Administer the Platform
- Serve as the primary administrator for our NetSuite environment OneWorld / multi-subsidiary / including users, roles, permissions, security, and segregation of duties.

Operating PrinciplesAI-Native by Default
You instinctively look for ways AI can make you faster and more effective. You use AI tools to draft and debug SuiteScript, analyze datasets, generate documentation, investigate configuration issues, and work through complex problems. You experiment with NetSuite's native AI and automation capabilities as well as external AI tools, and you're constantly looking for the next manual task that can be automated.
Curious and Eager to Learn
NetSuite is deep, complex, and constantly evolving. You enjoy learning how the platform works and staying current with new capabilities, releases, and best practices.
Autonomous and High-Judgment
You can take an initiative from discovery through design, development, testing, rollout, and adoption without needing someone to define every next step. You bring judgment and ownership, not just execution.
Comfortable in Ambiguity
You don't need perfect requirements to get started. You're comfortable sitting with the people doing the work, asking questions, investigating edge cases, and finding the improvement underneath the problem.
Practical and Outcome-Oriented
You care less about making the system look sophisticated and more about making the business work better. You measure success by reduced manual effort, better data, faster processes, fewer errors, and a better experience for the people using the system.
What You Bring - Must-HavesEducation
- Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, FinTech, or related field required.
- Equivalent practical experience with NetSuite, financial systems, and business applications will be considered in lieu of a degree.
Experience

- Strong command of NetSuite configuration, including SuiteFlow, saved searches, custom records and fields, forms, roles and permissions, and reporting.
- Solid understanding of core finance and accounting processes, including GL, AP, AR, and the monthly/quarterly close, and how those processes map to NetSuite.
- Demonstrated ability to own improvement initiatives end to end - from stakeholder discovery and solution design through development, testing, deployment, and adoption.
- Strong business judgment and the ability to distinguish between problems that require technology and problems that require process change.
- Comfort operating in ambiguity and a genuine curiosity about how the business works.
- Fluency with AI tools and demonstrated examples of using them to improve productivity, problem-solving, automation, or system development.
- Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Preferred Experience
- SuiteScript (JavaScript) development experience.
- NetSuite certification, such as SuiteFoundation, Administrator, or ERP Consultant.

- Experience leading or supporting a NetSuite implementation, subsidiary rollout, major upgrade, or significant transformation.
