NetSuite Configuration Manager (Finance Track)

JOB SUMMARY

Relay Resources is seeking a highly experienced NetSuite Configuration Manager to lead and own NetSuite configuration for the Finance track as part of a broader ERP and Data Ecosystem transformation.

This is a hands-on, senior configuration role, not a junior admin or advisory position. The individual in this role will be responsible for ensuring NetSuite is configured correctly, securely, and sustainably to support Relay’s financial operations from Day 1 of go-live and beyond.

This role is foundational to ERP Phase 1 success and will work closely with Finance, Process Engineering, Project Management, and integration partners.

o   Subsidiaries, departments, classes, and segments

o   Financial reporting structures

·         Configure workflows, approvals, roles, permissions, and controls aligned with audit and compliance needs

·         Ensure configuration aligns with fit-to-standard decisions and avoids unnecessary customization

·         Partner directly with Finance stakeholders to translate business requirements into clean, scalable NetSuite configurations

·         Support:

o   Month-end and year-end close processes

o   Budgeting and financial controls

o   Audit readiness and traceability

·         Ensure NetSuite configuration supports accurate, trusted financial reporting 

3.      Governance & Quality

·         Own configuration standards, documentation, and change control

·         Manage configuration across environments (sandbox, testing, production)

·         Ensure proper separation of duties and role-based access

·         Support data integrity, financial controls, and compliance requirements

4.      Cross-Functional Collaboration

·         Work closely with:

o   Process Engineers (business process alignment)

o   Project Managers (delivery timelines and dependencies)

o   Integration partners (e.g., NetSuite–UKG, NetSuite–Salesforce)

·         Support testing, UAT, and go-live readiness

·         Participate in issue resolution and post-go-live stabilization
