Solution Delivery Manager - Zuora

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

Your demonstrated experience leading implementation teams, working at the enterprise level, with technical and functional fluency, to deliver multiple moderate to complex solutions covering domestic or international regions will enable you to successfully drive the delivery team, and monitor project quality, financials, risk, and delivery performance for Zuora implementations. You will be responsible for managing the end-to-end delivery of Zuora implementation engagements, ensuring that the program remains on time, within budget, and meets the customer’s outcome expectations.

Because you already have experience implementing Enterprise software systems, have technical/functional knowledge and are proficient with Enterprise SaaS, ERP or Order to Revenue systems, you will be able to start performing on day one. Your love for multi-tasking will prove useful as you will be responsible for managing the project plans and leading the implementations for multiple projects at a time. Successful Solution Delivery Managers at Zuora have a healthy sense of risk and are able to proactively manage risk prior to failure.

This is a hybrid position to ideally be based in the Bay Area or Atlanta, Georgia. So you’ll be working two days per week from either our Redwood City HQ or Atlanta office.
