Key Responsibilities

  • Ecosystem Architecture & Administration: Serve as the primary administrator and architect for NetSuite and Coupa Spend Management. Lead system upgrades, configuration changes, custom fields, workflows, and user access provisions.
  • Integration Ownership: Design, build, monitor, and maintain robust automated integrations into Netsuite, including Coupa, Concur, and complex global banking portals (via EDI/API/SFTP). Move away from a siloed “portfolio model” by natively absorbing acquired technologies directly into the core SaaS architecture.
  • Tech Triage & Optimization: Act as the ultimate escalation point for complex technical issues, system bugs, and synchronization errors. Triage integration data mismatches and “break-fix” scenarios with internal IT and external vendor support teams.
  • Compliance & Governance: Ensure all financial systems and custom workflows strictly comply with internal controls, SOX compliance guidelines, IT General Controls (ITGC), and standard data privacy regulations.
  • Business Partnership & Roadmap: Collaborate closely with accounting, FP&A, procurement, and sales ops teams to translate complex business requirements into scalable technical solutions and system enhancements.
  • Automation & Scripting: Support and optimize existing automation scripts (SuiteScript, Python, JavaScript) and middleware tools (e.g., MuleSoft) to reduce manual accounting work and streamline the month-end close process.
  • SOP & Runbook Authoring: Author, update, and maintain comprehensive technical documentation, system runbooks, and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to ensure absolute transparency across our technical environments.

Skills, Knowledge and Expertise

  • Essential Skills & Experience:
    • Deep Domain Expertise: 10+ years of progressive technical experience in financial system administration, with an absolute emphasis on NetSuite and Coupa enterprise management.
    • Integration Expertise: Proven track record of architecting and managing API, EDI, and SFTP-based integrations. Deep knowledge of syncing financial data across Salesforce, procurement tools, and corporate banking networks.
    • Technical Toolkit: Proficiency with middleware integration platforms alongside foundational knowledge of SuiteScript (1.0/2.0), JavaScript, or SQL for data analysis.
    • Financial Literacy: A strong grasp of core accounting and finance concepts (procure-to-pay, order-to-cash, revenue recognition, multi-currency consolidation, and month-end closing procedures).
    • Analytical Skills: A sharp talent for troubleshooting, debugging broken data lines, and diagnosing systemic errors in a logical, step-by-step manner.
    • Communication & Collaboration: Superb verbal and written communication skills. You can explain complex technical configurations easily to accounting teams, and communicate financial rules clearly to software developers.
  • Desirable Skills & Experience:
    • Middleware Tools: Experience with integration platform middleware tools like MuleSoft.
    • System Certifications: Professional credentials such as NetSuite Certified Administrator, NetSuite ERP Consultant, or Coupa Platform Certification.
