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.

- 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.
