POSITION SUMMARY
Location: On-site at our West End, NC area facility
Kraken Kinetics is seeking an experienced NetSuite ERP Business Systems Analyst who will partner with our NetSuite Administrator and share responsibility for the system's success: implementation, ongoing maintenance, and continuous enhancement, including warehouse management (WMS) and transportation management (TMS).
You will work with finance, supply chain, production, and shipping teams to turn business needs into working processes, test and roll out changes, build reporting, train users, and keep the system running well as the company grows. This is an execution role, not a requirements-only role.
Key Responsibilities
- Partner with the NetSuite Administrator to configure and implement NetSuite across quote-to-cash, purchasing, inventory, work orders, assembly builds, fulfillment, and financials.
- Translate requirements from finance, supply chain, production, and shipping into documented processes and system configuration.
- Plan and run user acceptance testing, data validation, cutover, and post-launch support for new modules and changes.
- Support the Administrator on master data (items, assemblies, bills of materials) under the existing ownership rules.
- Provide ongoing user support: triage issues, find root causes, and escalate configuration changes to the Administrator.
- Monitor data quality across transactions and inventory, and correct the underlying process, not just the record.
- Build and maintain saved searches, reports, and dashboards for finance, supply chain, and production, including reporting that supports audited financials.
- Support month-end close and inventory valuation by reconciling system data with the Controller and Staff Accountant.
- Maintain user guides and SOPs; train new and existing users.
- Identify and prioritize enhancements with process owners; design, test, and release them with the Administrator.
- Lead the business side of NetSuite-integrated warehouse management (WMS) and transportation management (TMS), including barcode scanning, bin locations, and lot and serial tracking.
- Review NetSuite releases and new features for impact and opportunity, and test them before they reach users.
- Track issues, enhancement requests, risks, and schedules, and report status to the project sponsor.
QUALIFICATIONS
Required
- 3+ years hands-on NetSuite experience in a manufacturing or distribution company, including inventory, assemblies, work orders, and fulfillment.
- Experience on at least one full NetSuite implementation through design, testing, cutover, and post-launch support.
- Ability to build NetSuite saved searches, reports, and dashboards without developer support.
- Working knowledge of inventory accounting and how operational transactions flow to the general ledger.
- Clear process documentation and user training skills.
- Ability to meet export-control requirements for access to ITAR-controlled technical data (final wording from Legal).
Preferred
- Hands-on implementation of a NetSuite-integrated WMS, TMS, or barcode scanning solution.
- RF SMART Warehouse Management System
- Experience setting up lot and serial tracking and bin management.
- Defense, aerospace, or other regulated manufacturing experience.
- NetSuite certification (for example, Administrator or ERP Consultant). Verify current certification names with Oracle NetSuite before posting.
- Bachelor's degree in accounting, supply chain, information systems, or equivalent experience.
Benefits included:
- Generous PTO policy
- Comprehensive medical coverage (80% company-paid for employee + dependents).
- Vision & dental (100% company-paid)
- Short and long-term disability coverage (100% company-paid)
- Generous 401(k) retirement plan
- Company-paid life insurance
- Great teammates and well stocked snacks
