Oracle NetSuite SME

What’s this role about?

As an Oracle NetSuite SME, you will be the functional and technical owner responsible for the administration, configuration, optimisation, and governance of our NetSuite ERP platform. You will work closely with Finance, Operations, IT stakeholders, and more to ensure the system is aligned to end-to-end business processes and control requirements, troubleshoot issues, and drive continuous improvement, address technical debt, and enable scalable system design.

This role combines hands-on deep NetSuite configuration expertise, ERP domain knowledge, and stakeholder management capability to deliver measurable business value and system ROI.

You will report into the CFO, with a dotted line into the interim CIO for technology governance and roadmap alignment.

This role is well suited to an individual looking to step up from a Lead/Senior NetSuite Administrator or Consultant position into full platform ownership, with accountability for both technical direction and business alignment.

• Managing and monitoring integrations (REST/SOAP, middleware, iPaaS) between NetSuite and adjacent systems.
• Delivering end-user training and maintaining system/process documentation (SOPs, configuration logs).
• Proactively monitoring system performance, governance limits, and data integrity, coordinating with NetSuite Support or third-party vendors when needed.
• Leading release management activities including regression testing, UAT coordination, and feature enablement.
• Driving continuous improvement initiatives and automation opportunities (workflows, scripts, saved searches) to enhance efficiency.
• Identifying, prioritising, and remediating technical debt within the NetSuite environment (e.g., legacy customisations, inefficient workflows, redundant scripts).
• Defining and enforcing NetSuite architectural standards and best practices, ensuring consistency, scalability, and maintainability across the platform.
