• Stakeholder facilitation skills, running workshops, producing decision docs, and framing trade-offs for both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Prior ERP or accounting system migration or transformation experience.
• Ability to ramp up independently, learning a new billing platform's data model and business context with minimal oversight.

You Will Be Accountable for the Following Responsibilities:

• Lead business analysis for the portion of scope that Zuora's professional services doesn't cover, including custom billing rules, revenue recognition, and reporting.
• Guide finance and business stakeholders through the transformation from a legacy accounting system to Zuora, providing clear transformation guidance at each step.
• Interpret Zuora's data model and billing logic to unblock the integration team, acting as a partial platform advisor rather than a full platform administrator.
• Facilitate decisions and trade-off conversations directly with the controller and finance stakeholders.
• Maintain stakeholder communication and technical context continuity during a planned handover or coverage period.

Qualifications
