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’ve led the Subscription Economy for more than a decade. Now we’re evolving again by building the definitive platform for quote to cash and helping companies monetize their products and services with an adaptable, AI-ready foundation.

The Opportunity & About the Team

As a Product Manager, AI Platform at Zuora, you will define and deliver the foundational platform that powers all of Zuora's AI capabilities. You'll own the end-to-end architecture—from the agent orchestration layer to user-facing interfaces—that enables intelligent, context-aware experiences across our product suite. Your work will directly shape how enterprise customers interact with AI agents that transform subscription management, billing operations, and revenue intelligence. This role sits at the intersection of platform engineering, applied AI, and product design. You'll partner closely with engineering to build the infrastructure that connects AI agents to applications, manages conversation state and memory, and provides the tools layer that lets agents take meaningful action. Your decisions will determine how AI capabilities scale across Zuora's ecosystem while maintaining enterprise-grade security, auditability, and user control. A critical dimension of this role is cross-organizational leadership. You will interface with application product teams across the entire Zuora suite—Billing, Revenue, Payments, CPQ, and Platform—to enable their AI capabilities and experiences. You'll collaborate across the Product Management organization to ensure a unified, coherent end-to-end user experience. Success requires building strong relationships, establishing shared standards and patterns, and balancing platform consistency with the flexibility teams need to deliver differentiated AI experiences for their domains. * This is a Hybrid position, so you’ll be working in-person in the Foster City office at least 3 days a week, with other days remote. Of course, you’re welcome to come into the office more often if you’re nearby.
