Fractional NetSuite Tech Lead Service

NetSuite implementations rarely struggle because of ambition. They struggle when technical delivery lacks ownership, changes pile up and no one is accountable for how the platform is extended day to day.

The Fractional NetSuite Tech Lead Service from Cogent2 provides senior, part time technical leadership for retail and ecommerce businesses running NetSuite at the core of finance and operations. This role sits close to configuration, scripting and integrations, ensuring NetSuite changes are delivered cleanly, safely and in line with how the business actually operates.

It is designed for teams that already use NetSuite but need stronger hands-on leadership to guide development, control technical quality and keep delivery moving without hiring permanently.

Cogent2’s Fractional NetSuite Tech Leads work inside delivery teams, not above them. Alongside technical leadership, you gain access to a joined-up integration and delivery team that can support execution, optimisation and refinement.

When to hire a Fractional NetSuite Tech Lead

This service is particularly well suited to businesses that:

• Run NetSuite as their core ERP

• Have ongoing NetSuite enhancements and change requests

• Experience slow delivery or inconsistent build quality

• Rely on partners without strong internal technical oversight

• Want part time senior NetSuite technical leadership without a permanent hire

Hiring a Fractional NetSuite Tech Lead brings structure, confidence and accountability to ERP delivery.
