**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 Solution Architect/Technical Account Manager will work with customers to help them get the most out of their Zuora investments, and drive the engagement team towards an optimal solution.
As a Solution Architect/Technical Account Manager, you will draw on your customer-facing skills and technical acumen to help customers successfully manage and adopt Zuora products. Your previous experience with financial infrastructure, program management, enterprise technology implementation, strategy development, and customer advocacy will play a critical part in your day to day work driving success at our most critical customers.
As a Solution Architect/Technical Account Manager, you will regularly engage with your customers, including executives of large enterprises and a cross-functional and geographically dispersed team. A successful TAM utilizes their relationship management and communication skills and technical credibility to effectively communicate at all levels of the organization.
If this sound like something you'd love to do, plus, you'd like to be the among the first to join our newest team in the region.
