Fractional NetSuite Development Director Service

NetSuite delivery challenges rarely come from a single piece of work. They emerge when multiple teams, partners and workstreams move out of sync, priorities clash and no one owns delivery at a senior, end-to-end level.

The Fractional NetSuite Development Director Service from Cogent2 provides senior, part time leadership for businesses running NetSuite as a core ERP, where delivery spans configuration, custom development, integrations and optimisation. This role operates above individual teams, focusing on alignment, delivery governance and ensuring NetSuite investment delivers operational and commercial value.

It is designed for organisations with scale or complexity, where NetSuite Heads of Development or Tech Leads exist, but lack a single senior owner to coordinate priorities, manage risk and maintain delivery momentum.

Cogent2’s Fractional NetSuite Development Directors work inside the business, partnering closely with finance, operations and technology leadership. Alongside senior oversight, you gain access to a joined-up technical and integration team that can execute, refine and stabilise delivery where required.

When to hire a Fractional NetSuite Development Director

This service is particularly well suited to businesses that:

• Run NetSuite as their core ERP across multiple functions

• Have parallel NetSuite development, integration and optimisation workstreams

• Experience delivery conflicts, delays or unclear prioritisation

• Rely on partners without strong internal delivery ownership

• Need senior NetSuite delivery leadership on a part time basis

Hiring a Fractional NetSuite Development Director brings clarity, coordination and accountability across all NetSuite delivery activity.

• Clear delivery frameworks and decision-making processes

• Consistent standards across internal teams and partners

• Practical reporting for leadership teams

Programme support and delivery stabilisation

• Improving delivery ahead of financial close

• Reducing reliance on reactive decision making

• Protecting data integrity during change

Cogent2’s joined-up delivery capability allows issues to be addressed decisively.

Ongoing leadership and continuity

Many clients retain this role as ongoing senior oversight rather than a short engagement.

This can include:

• Regular executive-level NetSuite delivery reviews

• Cover during leadership transition or growth

• Supporting long-term NetSuite delivery planning

• Acting as a consistent senior delivery authority

This model provides leadership without adding permanent overhead.

The Cogent2 Difference

Cogent2 works alongside NetSuite and connected platforms so our Fractional Development Directors can focus entirely on execution, coordination and delivery outcomes. We do not sell software. We take ownership of how NetSuite delivery supports the wider business.

By combining Fractional NetSuite Development Director leadership with a joined-up technical team, Cogent2 removes the gap between ERP ambition and reliable delivery.

Strengthen NetSuite delivery leadership

ERP delivery fails when ownership is fragmented.
