The opportunity
My client are a global financial services firm (HQ London) making their first NetSuite hire. You’ll own NetSuite end-to-end — architecture, customisation, integrations, controls and day-to-day operations — and set best practice from the ground up. This is a hands-on role combining technical (SuiteScript, integrations, data) and application (finance processes, reporting, controls) expertise.
What you’ll do
* Own the platform: Define the NetSuite architecture, data model, environments, SDLC and release management (prod/sandbox strategy, SDF, version control).
* Build & customise: Develop with SuiteScript 2.0/2.1 (UE/Client/Scheduled/Map-Reduce), SuiteFlow, SuiteBuilder, Advanced PDF, Saved Searches, SuiteAnalytics/SuiteQL.
* Integrate the stack: Deliver/oversee integrations via SuiteTalk REST/SOAP, iPaaS (Celigo/Boomi/etc), and APIs to CRM/HRIS/expenses/banking/data warehouse/BI.
* Establish best practice: Change control, documentation, code standards, deployment pipelines, monitoring, and incident response.
* Partner with Finance & Ops: Translate requirements across GL, AP, AR, Fixed Assets, Revenue/IFRS-15, multi-entity/multi-currency, intercompany, consolidation, and period close.
* Controls & compliance: Design roles/permissions and SoD, audit trails, reconciliations; support internal/external audit (FCA-aware environment), GDPR/ISO27001 practices.
* Roadmap & vendor mgmt: Create the NetSuite roadmap, manage partners, evaluate add-ons, own license/admin.
* Support & scale: Provide L2/L3 support, train super-users, and (over time) build a small internal NetSuite capability.
1. What you’ll bring
* Proven NetSuite ownership in a complex, multi-entity environment (ideally within financial services, fintech, PE/asset mgmt, insurance, or regulated sectors).
* Strong hands-on NetSuite development (SuiteScript 2.x, Map/Reduce) and configuration skills, plus solid understanding of finance processes.
* Experience designing integrations (SuiteTalk REST, webhooks, iPaaS) and data flows (master data, reference data, reconciliations).
* Comfort with SDLC: SDF, Git, sandbox governance, CI/CD, automated testing where practical.
* Clear track record setting standards/best practice and improving reliability, performance, and reporting.
* Excellent stakeholder skills; able to turn ambiguous business needs into pragmatic, secure solutions.
* Bonus: experience with Revenue Recognition (ASC 606/IFRS 15), Consolidation, Treasury/Banking feeds, BI tooling (Power BI/Looker), and audit/SOX-style controls.
2. Why join
* Greenfield ownership: First hire; shape the platform and build the function.
* Global impact: Work with stakeholders across regions in a growing, tech-forward firm.
* Flexibility: Fully remote with meaningful autonomy; occasional travel for workshops/implementations.
Package: Competitive + benefits (aligned to experience).
Right to work: Europe based able to travel domestically and internationally as needed.
