NetSuite Solutions & Data Architect

Job Description

Description:

Position Summary

We are a global electronics manufacturer serving the telecommunications industry and have recently deployed Net Suite as our enterprise ERP platform.

We are seeking a hands-on Net Suite Solutions & Data Architect to lead the ongoing configuration, optimization, and integration of our ERP environment, with a strong focus on manufacturing, supply chain, and data architecture.

This is a builder role, not a pure oversight position. The ideal candidate will design, configure, and improve business processes within Net Suite while ensuring data integrity and seamless integration across our enterprise application stack, including Salesforce (Sales Operations & CRM) and Arena (PLM).

This role is critical to enabling scalable operations across order management, manufacturing, warehouse operations, and financial processes.

Our work environment is collaborative, fast paced, and positioned to enable practitioners to do the work they love. If you lack passion in what you are doing, you are likely doing the wrong thing, or you may be working in the wrong place.

At Zhone you will be valued, respected, and we will encourage you to ensure you are making time for your personal interests and your family.
