VP Industry Strategy

Profile

OUR VISION: THE WORLD. SUBSCRIBED.
Customers have changed. They’re looking for new ways to engage with businesses. Consumers today
have a new set of expectations. They want outcomes, not ownership. Customization, not generalization. Constant improvement, not planned obsolescence.
In the old world (let’s call it the Product Economy) it was all about things. Acquiring new customers, shipping commodities, billing for one-time transactions. But in today’s new era, it’s all about relationships. More and more customers are becoming subscribers because subscription experiences built around services meet consumers’ needs better than the static offerings or a single product.
Our vision is “The World Subscribed” where one day every company will be a part of the Subscription Economy® (a phrase coined by our CEO, Tien Tzuo and author of the best selling book
Subscribed
THE OPPORTUNITY:
The opportunity ahead of us is to lead the best companies, industry by industry, through their journeys, guiding their transformation and ultimately creating a multi-billion dollar revenue opportunity. Like technology, where we’ve become the standard for SaaS companies looking to IPO. Or manufacturing, where we count 8 of the top 10 auto manufacturers as customers, along with industrial manufacturers like CAT, JCI, and Honeywell. Or media, where we service 20 of the largest newspaper publishers around the globe. We’re even starting to see change happen in retail, helping companies like Best Buy on the journey, and financial services, with customers like Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and Barclays.
Because what we do is rooted in business model transformation - the way we must align our go-to-market is by industry. Doing so will require a greater depth of understanding, stronger messaging, more tailored product and partner strategies, and an expert field organization, with confidence and credibility, that can add significant value to the CEO-level conversations we’re having across industries.
We’re looking for a leader to help drive and accelerate Zuora’s vertical go-to-market strategy. Someone with a deep understanding and a strong instinct for the mechanics of an industry and how to uncover and create value. Someone who understands the industry landscape, the changes on the horizon, and who can offer unique guidance and value to executives trying to navigate this change. Someone who can help Zuora, as an enterprise software company, uncover new ways to define and deliver solutions for these companies with our technology, people, and partners. And someone who is a change-agent who can push Zuora to evolve in our approach and thinking - ultimately helping us fulfill our promise as a company.
