Customer Solution Engineer, Zuora + Workday Financial Management (FINS)
Quick overview
Job description
About Zuora
At Zuora, we help businesses grow smarter and adapt faster. Our platform powers modern business models, from subscriptions and usage-based pricing to AI-driven and outcome-based offerings, helping companies launch new products, automate complex billing, and unlock predictable, recurring revenue.
We have led the Subscription Economy for more than a decade. Now we are building the definitive platform for quote to cash and helping companies monetize their products and services with an adaptable, AI-ready foundation.
The Opportunity
Zuora and Workday now sell Zuora Billing and Revenue together under one Workday contract. This role makes that partnership win technically in Workday Financial Management (FINS) accounts, both net-new and existing. You will work alongside Workday and Zuora AEs, Workday FINS specialists and value consultants, and you will own the technical win.
In this role, you will:
- Own the technical win on Workday FINS opportunities: discovery, architecture, objection handling, and clear positioning of Zuora against Workday-native billing and revenue options
- Map the quote-to-cash and usage model end to end across Workday Revenue Management, Accounting Center, Close & Consolidate, and Services CPQ, showing where Zuora owns metering, rating, mediation, and invoice presentation and where data hands off to Workday
- Scope and build proofs of concept as the primary mechanism for technical proof, with a forward-deployed engineer mindset, working hands-on with APIs, events, and data integrations between Zuora and Workday tenants
- Design consumption and AI-driven monetization for Workday customers: prepaid drawdown, flexible commitments, and usage pricing, with the revenue recognition implications made explicit
- Enable Workday field teams, including FINS sellers, specialists, and consultants, through joint discovery, demos, and certification-ready technical materials
- Lead C-level technical presentations, translating pricing and architecture trade-offs into business value for CFOs, controllers, and CIOs
- Stay close to accounts post-sale to protect technical health, drive adoption, and surface share-of-wallet and suite expansion opportunities
- Share structured customer and field feedback with Product and Solutions teams to shape the Workday integration roadmap
- Support RFPs, RFIs, joint field events, and customer references as needed
- Travel within your territory as required
About You
You are a technical solutions professional who has won complex deals alongside Workday or ERP partners and can run a POC without hand-holding.
You bring:
- 7+ years in sales engineering, presales, or solution architecture in enterprise SaaS
- Hands-on experience with Workday Financial Management, or with another enterprise ERP and its finance modules (Revenue, Accounting, Close, CPQ), in a partner or co-sell setting
- Working knowledge of revenue recognition (ASC 606 / IFRS 15) and how it shapes billing and usage models
- Deep fluency in usage and consumption billing: metering, rating, mediation, prepaid drawdown, and commitment pricing
- Strong technical depth across REST APIs, event-driven integration, data reconciliation, and ERP-to-billing data flows
- The ability to troubleshoot a failing integration under pressure, not just describe the architecture
- Executive communication with CFOs, controllers, and CIOs, and with engineers
- Experience with MEDDIC or Value Selling
- A bachelor's degree or equivalent experience in FinTech or enterprise software
A strong plus:
- Workday Financial Management certification, or Workday Revenue Management and Accounting Center experience
- Experience co-selling with a platform partner's AEs and SEs
- Telecom or high-volume usage experience
About the Team
You will sit in the Workday alliance solutions group, working with Account Executives from Zuora and Workday, Workday FINS specialists and value consultants, Product, and Solutions. The group exists to win and expand Zuora + Workday Financial Management accounts with a technical story that holds up in front of controllers and CFOs.
The team wants someone who goes beyond standard demos: someone who will shape the solution architecture, own the POC outcome, and help turn Workday's customer base into durable consumption revenue for Zuora.
