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 Global Customer Support team fulfills a super important role for Zuora. It is often the main point of contact for a customer and a key advocate of the customer experience.

In today's ever-changing social landscape, we need someone up-to-date on the latest and greatest web tools and platforms, able to troubleshoot basic software applications, and an excellent email or phone communicator.

• Handle urgent escalation issues, ensuring we accurately prioritize based on severity and customer impact.

Your experience

• BS or MS in Computer Science, Engineering, or related. We will also consider other significant technical experience.
• Minimum of 7 years application support experience.
• Experience with at least one of the following technologies that support SaaS applications: XML, REST API, SOAP API, SQL, Kibana, web services, HTML, Java, or JavaScript.
• Strong communication skills, including the ability to adjust to the technical level of the audience and explain complex ideas clearly and concisely.
• Ability to work with a global team and build strong cross-functional relationships.
• Positive attitude and the ability to overcome adversity; ability to stay calm under pressure.
