Fractional NetSuite Head of Technology Service

NetSuite technology challenges rarely sit at board level, but they are too big to be solved by administrators or developers alone. They appear when ownership of delivery, architecture and day-to-day technical decisions is unclear.

The Fractional NetSuite Head of Technology Service from Cogent2 provides senior, part time technology leadership for businesses running NetSuite as their core ERP. This role sits between strategic CTO oversight and delivery teams, owning how NetSuite and connected systems are designed, governed and improved.

It is designed for organisations that need strong ERP-led technology leadership without a full-time CTO, and where execution quality, system design and technical ownership need tightening.

Cogent2’s Fractional NetSuite Heads of Technology work inside the business, leading technology decisions day to day. Alongside leadership, you gain access to a joined-up technical and integration team that can execute, refine and optimise what is set at a leadership level.
