About The Position

Genesys is seeking a seasoned Senior Product Owner, Zuora Billing to own and evolve the Zuora Billing platform within our Quote-to-Cash ecosystem. This role is responsible for driving the roadmap, prioritization, requirements definition, and solution alignment for billing capabilities that support subscription, usage-based, and hybrid monetization models. This is a hands-on product ownership role that requires deep curiosity, strong systems thinking, and the ability to connect business needs to scalable platform solutions. You will partner closely with Billing Operations, Finance, Product Operations, Engineering, Technical Leads, and Revenue teams to ensure Zuora Billing capabilities are reliable, compliant, and aligned to business outcomes. Success in this role requires more than backlog management. The ideal candidate takes ownership, asks thoughtful questions, challenges assumptions, drives clarity, and partners with technical teams to shape solutions from concept through delivery and adoption.
