Job Description & Details
The role is a hands‑on Project Manager for a NetSuite re‑implementation that lives entirely in a remote setting, syncing EST/CST teams across the US and offshore dev groups. It’s a nine‑month stretch that will test your ability to keep a complex ERP rollout on track while juggling multiple stakeholders.
What You'll Actually Be Doing
You’ll own the end‑to‑end schedule: drafting the master plan, flagging risks, and driving daily stand‑ups with finance, business owners, the implementation partner, and offshore developers. Expect to spend a lot of time in status calls, updating Jira or Smartsheet, and translating technical blockers into clear action items for non‑technical leaders. When something stalls—say a custom script fails in the sandbox—you’ll be the one escalating, re‑prioritizing, and making sure governance checkpoints stay intact.
The Core Tech Stack
The tech side isn’t about coding; it’s about NetSuite’s configuration modules, SuiteTalk integrations, and the custom scripts that offshore teams will push. You need to speak the language of ERP workflows, understand how a GL roll‑forward works, and be comfortable reading SuiteScript error logs enough to ask the right questions. The company needs you to bridge that gap—turning a business requirement like “automated revenue recognition” into a concrete NetSuite configuration and a set of test cases.
Interview Expectations
- “Walk me through how you’d handle a critical integration failure two days before go‑live.” The interviewer wants to see your crisis‑management playbook: rapid root‑cause triage, stakeholder communication cadence, and a rollback or hot‑fix plan that minimizes downtime.
- “Explain a time you coordinated between on‑shore business owners and an offshore dev team with different time zones.” They’re probing your ability to align EST/CST schedules with offshore hours, set clear hand‑off points, and keep documentation airtight so nothing gets lost in translation.
Application Advice
Tailor your resume to shout out “NetSuite implementation,” “ERP project management,” and “offshore team coordination.” Mirror the JD language: include “project plan,” “milestones,” “risk management,” and “stakeholder communication.” If you have experience with SuiteTalk or SuiteScript, list those explicitly. A concise bullet like “Managed 12‑month NetSuite re‑implementation across finance, sales, and offshore dev teams, delivering on‑time within budget” will hit the ATS hard.
