What You'll Be Doing
Benefits
- Own the technical architecture and long-term roadmap for our NetSuite ERP environment, ensuring solutions scale with the business rather than creating future rework
- Lead solution design sessions with business and technical stakeholders, translating complex operational needs into clear, well-architected NetSuite solutions
- Architect and oversee integrations between NetSuite and third-party systems using SuiteTalk, REST, and SOAP APIs

- Partner with functional leaders across Financials, Order Management, Inventory, and related modules to identify opportunities for ERP optimization and process improvement
- Lead data migration strategy, including CSV imports, validation frameworks, and cutover planning for major initiatives
- Set and enforce development standards, documentation practices, and governance for customizations and integrations across the platform
- Troubleshoot complex, cross-system issues and lead root-cause resolution — not just symptom fixes

- Solid foundation in JavaScript and related web technologies
- Experience owning data migration strategy — CSV imports, validation, and cutover planning
- Strong troubleshooting and debugging skills, with the judgment to know when a fix is a patch versus when it's a signal to redesign
- Ability to manage multiple concurrent initiatives and competing priorities without losing sight of the bigger architectural picture
