  • Maintain accurate forecasts for complex renewal portfolios.

This is not a complete list of responsibilities, and the scope of the role may evolve with the needs of the team and business. This role will require occasional travel for team meetings, training, or company events.

What We're Looking For:
  • 6+ years in Renewals, Account Management, or Customer Success.
  • Demonstrated success closing complex SaaS renewals.
  • Strong negotiation and executive communication skills.
  • Proven ability to manage ambiguity and competing priorities.
  • Deep understanding of SaaS pricing, packaging, and procurement
  • Strong forecasting and risk management discipline.


Nice-to-have skills or experience:
  • Experience in a dedicated Renewal Manager role.
  • Prior quota-carrying sales background.
  • Experience with multi-product SaaS portfolios.
  • Familiarity with churn mitigation frameworks and save motions.
  • Exposure to pricing strategy or deal desk leadership.
