We will need to support any changes to costs and pricing and add new reporting metrics into our internal platforms, to enable the smooth delivery of the growing portfolio of CPaaS products and reconciliation with carriers.

You will support Vonage by working with existing and new carriers in collaboration with our internal teams to help close, support and drive the associated revenue, whilst keeping the CPaaS reselling projects moving forward and on track.
