VP, Product Design

Zuora was founded to help companies navigate one of the most fundamental shifts in modern business: the move from one-time transactions to recurring, usage-based and increasingly complex monetization models. Today, that shift is accelerating as companies across industries rethink how they package, price and deliver value in an AI-driven world. Zuora sits at the center of this transformation.

The company provides a cloud-based platform that enables organizations to manage the full quote-to-cash lifecycle, including pricing, billing, collections, payments and revenue recognition. Its breadth across the quote-to-cash stack, combined with its ability to handle highly complex pricing models, has positioned Zuora as a trusted partner to finance organizations and a mission-critical platform for modern monetization.

The market is now entering another period of fundamental change. AI and agentic technologies are reshaping how software is built, how customers interact with products and how companies create and monetize value. Zuora has an opportunity not simply to add AI to its existing products, but to rethink the product experience and the way customers interact with software in an AI-native world.

This is a critical inflection point for Zuora. The company has a strong product foundation, deep enterprise relationships and significant domain expertise. At the same time, there is an opportunity to reimagine how the product experience works when AI can understand intent, make recommendations, take action and increasingly operate on a customer's behalf.

Zuora is seeking a VP, Product Design to play a central role in defining that future. This leader will help shape the next generation of Zuora's product experience and establish a design model built for an AI-native and increasingly agentic world.

The VP, Design will lead the evolution of design at Zuora as the company transforms toward an AI-native product and operating model. This leader will partner closely with Product, Engineering, AI and executive leadership to rethink how customers interact with Zuora—not simply by improving existing interfaces, but by exploring fundamentally different ways software can understand intent, guide decisions and take action.

The ideal candidate will bring strong experience partnering with Product and Engineering leaders and will be comfortable engaging deeply in technology, architecture and the implications of AI on product design. They should be able to move fluidly between customer problems, product strategy, interaction models and the technical realities required to bring those experiences to life.

They will understand that AI changes more than the interface. It changes the relationship between the customer and the product: from navigating screens and features toward expressing intent and achieving outcomes. They will have a point of view on how that shift should influence interaction models, information architecture, workflows, autonomy and human control.

The successful candidate will be highly customer-centric and comfortable spending significant time with customers, understanding complex enterprise workflows and translating those insights into compelling product experiences.

They will be an exceptional communicator and storyteller, capable of articulating a design vision that inspires designers, product managers, engineers and executives alike. They will have the executive presence to challenge established thinking while building the trust necessary to create meaningful organizational change.

They will have a demonstrated ability to attract, develop and retain exceptional design talent and to build organizations capable of operating with both creativity and accountability.

Experience in enterprise SaaS, complex workflow products, platforms or products serving sophisticated business users is strongly preferred.

Most importantly, this leader should be energized by ambiguity. We are not looking for someone to inherit a finished design strategy. We are looking for someone who wants to help define what design—and the product experience itself—should become in an AI-native world.

We are not looking for someone to make today's products look better; we're looking for a design leader who can help us rethink what the product experience becomes when AI can understand intent, reason, act and deliver outcomes.

Think, be and do you.
At Zuora, different perspectives, experiences, and contributions matter — everyone counts.
