• Guide clients on industry-leading practices for Demand Planning, Landed Costs, Supply Chain Control Tower, and inventory valuation methods.
• Identify and communicate project limitations or architectural risks early; work closely with Architects to address constraints in complex manufacturing builds.
• Design and lead internal QA processes and guide client User Acceptance Testing (UAT) to validate system stability, production accuracy, and data integrity.
• Delegate tasks to analysts and guide their development to ensure high-quality project deliverables and growth in the manufacturing vertical.
• Proactively manage scope, budget, and technical dependencies in collaboration with the Project Management team.

Basic Qualifications:

• 5+ years of experience implementing NetSuite, with a heavy focus on Manufacturing and Wholesale Distribution verticals.
• Strong understanding of NetSuite core configuration, including complex business logic and SuiteFlow.
• Knowledge of Waterfall and Agile project management methodologies.
• Proficient in spreadsheet-level data transformations and data migration (CSV imports).
• Strong presentation skills with the ability to translate technical manufacturing jargon into executive-level business insights.
• Bachelor's degree in a relevant field (e.g., Supply Chain, Engineering, Finance, or IT) or equivalent experience.

Desired Qualifications:

• NetSuite Certified ERP Consultant or SuiteFoundation certification is highly preferred.
• Proven experience implementing Advanced Manufacturing, Work Orders & Assemblies, WIP & Routings, MRP, and Manufacturing Mobile.
• Experience with NetSuite WMS, Ship Central, or 3rd-party integrations (e.g., RF-Smart, ShipStation, Pacejet).
• Experience with NetSuite QMS (Quality Management System) and lot/serial traceability is a significant plus.
• Deep understanding of the Order to Cash, Procure to Pay, and Plan to Produce cycles.
• Experience using Jira for task management and Google Workspace for collaboration.
