  • Prepare detailed, accurate, and insightful implementation proposals, solution architecture documents, Statements of Work (SOWs), and UAT (User Acceptance Testing) scripts.
  • 3. Documentation & Reporting

  • Document data models, workflows, integration points, and system dependencies clearly and concisely.
  • Produce polished, client-ready documents and presentation material that explain technical solutions in accessible terms.
  • Provide project teams with detailed functional specs and configuration guides.
  • 4. Client Engagement & Stakeholder Management

  • Act as the strategic interface between clients and the Infolytics technical team during project discovery, design, and UAT phases.
  • Confidently lead client workshops, solution walkthroughs, and feedback sessions.
  • Manage stakeholder expectations by effectively communicating timelines, scope, and constraints.
  • 5. Zoho Expertise Development

  • Rapidly learn and master new Zoho applications and features as needed.
  • Stay current with Zoho product updates, industry best practices, and integration tools.
  • Share knowledge and lead internal documentation efforts to improve delivery standards continuously.
  • Requirements

    1. Preferred Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Business Analysis, Information Systems, Business Administration or related field.
  • Experience with Zoho products (CRM, Books, Desk, Projects, Creator, Analytics, etc.) highly preferred.
  • Prior experience in a software consulting or SaaS implementation role.
  • Certifications in Zoho (or willingness to obtain them) are a plus.
  • 2. Technical & Analytical Skills

  • Strong understanding of CRM, ERP, and business process automation concepts.
  • Familiarity with the Zoho ecosystem and ability to learn new apps quickly and modules.
  • Ability to create mockups, diagrams, and user journeys using tools like Lucidchart, Draw.io, or VaniHQ.
  • Data modeling, process mapping, and documentation skills are essential.
  • 3. Proposal & Documentation Expertise

  • Skilled in writing functional specifications, proposals, SOWs, solution designs, and UAT scripts.
  • High attention to detail with a commitment to producing accurate and professional documentation.
  • 4. Communication & Interpersonal Skills

  • Confident and articulate communicator, comfortable in client-facing and cross-functional settings.
  • Ability to explain complex technical concepts in plain language.
  • Strong presentation skills and professionalism in stakeholder meetings.
  • 5. Work Ethic and Adaptability

  • Highly organized and proactive, with a passion for problem-solving and technology.
  • Eagerness to learn continuously and adapt in a fast-evolving cloud environment.
  • Benefits

    1. Professional Growth
