Technical Consultant

Job Description

Technical Consultant - London, UK

OUR VISION: THE WORLD. SUBSCRIBED.

Customers have changed. They’re looking for new ways to engage with businesses. Consumers today have a new set of expectations. They want outcomes, not ownership. Customization, not generalization. Constant improvement, not planned obsolescence.

In the old world (let’s call it the Product Economy) it was all about things. Acquiring new customers, shipping commodities, billing for one-time transactions. But in today’s new era, it’s all about relationships. More and more customers are becoming subscribers because subscription experiences built around services meet consumers’ needs better than the static offerings or a single product.

Our vision is “The World Subscribed” where one day every company will be a part of the Subscription Economy® (a phrase coined by our CEO, Tien Tzuo and author of the best selling book Subscribed ).

The Team

Zuora Global Services is the premier Professional Services team for customers transforming their business into the Subscription Economy. We work with our Customers, Global Systems Integrations, and PS Delivery Partners to ensure that our customers and partners benefit from Zuora Global Services thought leadership to have a positive experience and achieve their business goals using the Zuora platform.

Our Mission

Global Services Delivers Zuora’s Customers and Partners an Experience that Inspires them to Push for Excellence, Delivers Unparalleled Thought Leadership, and Propels their Business in the Subscription Economy. We do this with a relentless focus on Time to Value and Adoption.

The Role

The 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 2 to 4 years of experience in implementing and integrating software solutions, ideally in Billing, CRM or ERP domains.

The 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. He/she will develop a proficiency in identifying when a technical solution may not solve a business problem and therefore puts business value at risk.
