Senior Technical Consultant

Company Overview

At Zuora, we do Modern Business. We’re helping people subscribe to new ways of doing business that are better for people, companies and ultimately the planet. It’s an approach resulting from the shift to the Subscription Economy that puts customers first by building recurring relationships instead of one-time product sales and focuses on sustainable growth. Through our leading expertise and multi-product suite, we are transforming all industries and working with the world’s most innovative companies to monetize new business models, nurture subscriber relationships and optimize their digital experiences.

The Team & Role

The Senior Technical Consultant has a high proficiency in translating business problems into solutions leveraging the out of the box configuration capabilities of Zuora as well as technical solution based on Zuora APIs, data exports and loads and advanced configuration. Should always ensure that solution provided is delivering business value. Ideal candidate has 5+ years of experience in implementing and integrating software solutions, ideally in Billing, CRM or ERP domains. 

The Senior Technical Consultant manages multiple complex tasks and priorities while maintaining the ability to engage with team members and clients in a professional and timely manner. He/she maintains control during challenging project situations and exudes confidence to other team members and the client.  Communicates professionally and in the correct business form with team members and clients. 

Will serve as the primary/sole technical consultant for small projects and less complex mid-size projects. As experience increases, he/she will assume responsibility for being the sole consultant on more complex projects or for large deliverables on complex Enterprise and Mid-Market projects. 

Through individual actions and on a day to day basis, the Senior Technical Consultant will demonstrate a clear understanding of Customer Success. This means developing technical solutions to solve business problems and not simply code.
