Client Satisfaction: Understand the actual business problem and deliver solutions that meet client expectations. Quality & Support: Ensure appropriate testing, documentation, troubleshooting and smooth production handover. Requirements Implementation Partner Experience We strongly prefer candidates who have worked for a Zoho implementation partner, consulting organisation or system integrator rather than candidates whose experience has primarily been limited to managing Zoho internally within one company. The reason is simple: implementation-partner experience generally provides exposure to multiple clients, industries, business processes and implementation scenarios. You should ideally have worked on multiple Zoho implementation projects and be able to explain your specific role and contribution in those projects. Our Requirements We are looking for candidates with approximately 2–5 years of relevant experience working with a Zoho implementation partner, preferably in a role involving Zoho development, implementation, automation, integration or solution engineering. Experience working with a Zoho Authorized Partner / Zoho implementation partner is an important requirement for this position. Candidates should have experience working on client-facing Zoho implementation projects, rather than only using Zoho as an end-user or working on internal Zoho applications. Strong hands-on experience with Zoho Creator and Deluge is essential. Experience with REST APIs, JSON, webhooks and third-party integrations is required. Experience with Zoho Inventory, JavaScript, Creator Widgets, Custom APIs or Extensions will be strongly valued. You should have strong analytical and problem-solving skills, be comfortable working directly with clients and be able to take ownership of a requirement from: Discovery → Solution Design → Development → Testing → UAT → Deployment → Handover A degree in Computer Science, IT, Engineering, Business Technology, Management or a related discipline is preferred. However, hands-on technical capability and relevant Zoho project experience will be given significant importance. Who Will Be a Good Fit? This role is ideal for a Zoho Developer, Zoho Creator Developer, Zoho Solutions Consultant, Automation Developer or Integration Developer who has gained practical experience working with a Zoho implementation partner and has worked on multiple client projects. You should enjoy going beyond standard configuration, understanding business problems, working with APIs and automation, building custom solutions and finding creative ways to extend the Zoho platform. If you have worked with a Zoho Partner, are comfortable with Creator + Deluge + APIs, enjoy client-facing solution development and want to work on more advanced Zoho implementations, this role could be a strong fit for you. If you believe you can combine technology, business understanding and problem-solving to create better Zoho solutions, we would like to hear from you. Education & Experience A B.Tech / B.E. or equivalent technical qualification is preferred. Minimum 2 years of relevant professional experience is required, with preference for candidates who have spent at least two years in a Zoho implementation partner, consulting or system integration environment. Candidates with a strong track record of multiple complex implementations may be considered based on the depth and quality of their experience. Important This position is intended for a hands-on Zoho implementation and development professional. If your experience is primarily limited to Zoho administration, basic configuration, user management or simple workflow creation, this role may not be suitable. If, however, you have implemented Zoho for multiple businesses, developed custom applications, written complex Deluge scripts, integrated multiple Zoho applications, worked directly with clients and built widgets or extensions, we would be very interested in speaking with you. Build. Integrate. Automate. Transform. Join us to work on complex Zoho implementations where technology is used to solve real business problems and create scalable digital solutions.
