Responsibilities

Own day-to-day administration and health of the business applications portfolio, with NetSuite as the center of gravity.
Run the SOX change management process end to end: scope requests with business owners, build and configure in test, coordinate user acceptance testing, secure Controller approval, deploy to production, and validate post-go-live.
Build and maintain integrations between applications (NetSuite SuiteScript/SuiteTalk, REST APIs, middleware) with sound token management and data handling.
Own access governance: SSO and SCIM provisioning through Microsoft Entra, quarterly SOX user access reviews, own provisioning in systems and closing manual deprovisioning gaps on applications without SCIM.
Drive SSO enablement for remaining non-SSO applications and improve the security posture of the portfolio.
Manage the business applications request backlog in Jira: triage, prioritize with stakeholders, and communicate delivery timelines.
Support external audits (SOX, SOC 1) with evidence for change management and access controls.
Automate repetitive administration through scripting and APIs.
