• Support procurement and vendor tools by testing/evaluating solutions and providing technical feedback.
  
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to gather requirements and deliver technical solutions.

Requirements

• 2–5 years of hands-on experience administering and developing in Zoho platforms (One, CRM, Creator, Desk, Flow, etc.), with strong emphasis on custom work.
