About the role

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.

Translate complex analyses into clear narratives and recommendations for executive audiences.

Support quarterly business reviews, board reporting, annual planning, and strategic decision-making.

Identify emerging trends, risks, and opportunities through proactive analysis.

AI-Native Analytics & Automation

Own the marketing semantic layer, including KPI definitions, business logic, data dictionaries, AI-ready documentation, and reusable measurement frameworks that ensure consistency across reporting, dashboards, AI agents, and executive communications.
