About This Role:

We’re looking for a full-time Senior Renewals Manager to join our Customer Success team  reporting to the Director, Renewals Management. This role is a remote role based in the United States. 

In this role, you’ll play a key role in driving customer retention and revenue stability by leading renewal execution for the organization’s most complex, high-risk, and high-value accounts. You’ll deliver this impact by developing renewal strategies, mitigating churn risk, influencing pricing and save motions, and partnering closely with stakeholders to secure strong Gross Revenue Retention (GRR) outcomes. This is a great opportunity for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, highly collaborative environment and enjoys working cross-functionally with teams like Customer Success, Product, Sales, Finance, and Executive Leadership.

• Mentor and coach P3 Renewal Managers.

• Partner with CS leadership to align value delivery to renewal outcomes.

• Provide structured feedback to RevOps and Product on churn drivers.

• 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:

• 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.
