You will leverage prior enterprise application experience — including exposure to NetSuite environments — to evaluate complex technology landscapes and guide clients toward scalable, future-ready solutions.

• Evaluate optimize vs. replace vs. augment decisions across ERP, EPM, and adjacent enterprise platforms.

• Conduct vendor evaluations and capability assessments grounded in business outcomes rather than product bias.

• Develop future-state visioning materials, executive business cases, and phased transformation roadmaps.

• Support the development of implementation strategies and lead execution of key phases, identifying and resolving issues, risks, and escalating project issues to leadership when necessary.

• Oversee project administration activities, encompassing project setup, planning, budgeting, account management, and billing, ensuring smooth project completion.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to develop comprehensive solution roadmaps that address client requirements.

• Mentor team members by coaching colleagues, providing regular ongoing feedback and annual performance reviews, and helping project teams resolve multi-faceted issues.

• Cultivate new client relationships and deepen existing ones.

• Stay informed about emerging AI tools and techniques and collaborate with firm leadership to identify compliant opportunities to enhance client solutions and internal processes.

What You'll Bring

• 5+ years of experience in technology advisory, enterprise applications consulting, or finance transformation within a professional services environment.

• Participation in 2–4 full-cycle NetSuite implementations (functional lead or core team member), providing practical understanding of ERP constraints and opportunities.

• Strong knowledge of finance and accounting processes (close, reporting, revenue, inventory, consolidations, manufacturing accounting.

• Experience engaging Technology and Finance leaders, and cross-functional stakeholders in structured assessment and strategy engagements.

• Demonstrated ability to diagnose root causes before prescribing solutions.

• Comfort operating in ambiguous environments and shaping direction without a predefined answer.

• Experience mentoring and developing junior team members and assisting project teams in resolving multifaceted issues.

• A strong track record of effectively communicating intricate concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Consistent success in building and developing strong client relationships.

• Comfort with AI: Demonstrated ability to responsibly explore and adopt firm-approved AI tools to enhance productivity and innovation.

• Continuous Learning Mindset: Openness to learning and applying emerging technologies, including AI and automation, in alignment with firm policies and client standards.

Qualifications:
