Solution Architect – Data Integration (Temporary Contract)

About the role

You are a Solution Architect who bridges finance and engineering, translating a complex subscription billing model into data requirements that the integration team can act on. You are comfortable navigating ambiguity across business and technical domains.

Key responsibilities

• Translate the billing model in Zuora into data requirements the integration team can act on.
• 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.

Required profile

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field, or equivalent professional experience.
• Proven experience in business analysis, including requirements gathering, process mapping, and gap analysis.
• Strong subscription and billing domain knowledge, covering recurring revenue, invoicing, and the payment lifecycle.
• Data literacy with the ability to read pipeline logic, validate data flows, and QA outputs.
• Stakeholder facilitation skills, running workshops, producing decision documents, 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.
• Advanced conversational English and executive‑facing communication skills for a US‑based finance team.

Required skills

• Zuora platform (billing, revenue, CPQ modules).
• Google Cloud Platform, including BigQuery, Looker, and Data Studio.
