NetSuite Techno-Functional Consultant

Senior NetSuite Functional Consultant
Location: New York, NY
Employment Type: Contract
Work Arrangement: Remote

About the Opportunity

A company in the New York area is seeking an experienced NetSuite Functional Consultant for a contract engagement. The consultant will work alongside an internal team to support ongoing improvements to its NetSuite environment, with a focus on financial processes, inventory management, and manufacturing operations.

This is a hands-on opportunity for someone who can assess existing processes, troubleshoot system challenges, and recommend practical solutions that improve accuracy and efficiency.

Responsibilities

- Evaluate and optimize existing NetSuite functionality and business processes.
- Troubleshoot inventory costing, valuation, and cost of goods sold (COGS) issues.
- Review item records, transaction history, and inventory data to identify discrepancies.
- Support manufacturing processes, including bills of materials, assemblies, work orders, and component consumption.
- Assist with the configuration and optimization of outsourced manufacturing functionality.
- Review purchasing, receiving, inventory transfers, and multi-location inventory processes.
- Assess third-party logistics (3PL), warehouse management, and system integration processes.
- Identify opportunities to improve reporting accuracy and reduce manual work.
- Collaborate with internal stakeholders to prioritize improvements and implement solutions.
- Provide recommendations, project estimates, and guidance on best practices.

Required Qualifications

- 5+ years of hands-on NetSuite functional experience.
- Strong understanding of NetSuite financials, inventory management, and costing.
- Experience troubleshooting inventory valuation and COGS discrepancies.
- Knowledge of manufacturing functionality, including BOMs, assemblies, and work orders.
- Experience with purchasing, receiving, inventory management, and multi-location operations.
- Ability to assess existing NetSuite environments and recommend process improvements.
- Strong communication skills and the ability to work independently with internal teams.

## Preferred Qualifications

- Experience in manufacturing, distribution, consumer goods, or other product-based environments.
- Exposure to outsourced manufacturing processes.
- Experience with 3PLs, WMS platforms, or inventory integrations.
- Familiarity with lot tracking and inventory synchronization.
- Experience with integration platforms such as Pipe17 or similar solutions.

Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate is a hands-on NetSuite consultant who can quickly understand an existing environment, identify areas for improvement, and work directly with an internal team to implement practical solutions. They should be comfortable balancing technical system considerations with accounting and operational needs, while providing clear recommendations around scope, timelines, and costs.

A background in consumer packaged goods (CPG), product manufacturing, or related industries such as food and beverage or cosmetics will resonate well, given the specific challenges encountered in outsourced manufacturing and multi-location inventory environments. Familiarity with third-party logistics providers and integration platforms like Pipe17 or NetSuite Connector/FarApp is advantageous to navigate and optimise the data flow between systems effectively.

This is a remote, contract-based engagement with project duration and rates dependent on the scope and expertise brought to the assignment. Flexibility and the ability to self-manage priorities are key, given the hands-on nature of the consultancy and close collaboration with the internal NetSuite administrator.

The NetSuite Techno-Functional Consultant engagement provides an opportunity to make a meaningful impact on the operational reliability and financial accuracy of a product-based business within the consumer goods sector. By optimising NetSuite’s costing, inventory, manufacturing, and integration processes, the role contributes directly to strengthening the organisation’s financial reporting framework and operational agility.

This position operates within the consumer goods and retail manufacturing industry, supporting businesses that prioritise accurate product costing, inventory management, and effective outsourced production processes.
