Job description

About the Role

We are seeking a proactive, commercially minded Renewals Manager to own and drive the successful renewal of an assigned portfolio of North American customers.

In this customer-facing role, you will build strong relationships, understand customer business objectives, reinforce the value of their Copado partnership, and lead renewal conversations through successful closure. You will own a 120-day rolling renewal forecast, proactively identify and mitigate retention risks, and partner closely with Sales and Customer Success to protect recurring revenue and deliver a positive customer experience.

Success requires strong communication, commercial judgment, disciplined execution, and a genuine commitment to helping customers realize continued value from Copado.

What You'll Do

• Own Renewal Outcomes: Manage assigned renewal opportunities from initial engagement through negotiation and closure, maximizing recurring revenue retention and minimizing preventable churn.
• Engage Customers Proactively: Initiate and lead customer calls and discovery conversations to understand business priorities, assess renewal intentions, uncover risks, and establish clear, mutually agreed next steps.
• Reinforce Customer Value: Partner with Customer Success to understand adoption and business outcomes, helping customers connect Copado's capabilities to their business objectives and justify continued investment.
• Manage Your Forecast: Own and continuously manage a 120-day rolling renewal forecast, using customer-validated commitments, identified risks, and actionable next steps to drive forecast accuracy and predictability.
• Identify and Mitigate Risk: Proactively address potential churn, contraction, and renewal delays by developing actionable mitigation plans and engaging appropriate stakeholders.
• Lead Commercial Negotiations: Prepare renewal proposals, negotiate pricing and contract terms, and navigate customer objections to secure mutually beneficial agreements.
• Build Customer Relationships: Develop relationships with key stakeholders, decision-makers, and economic buyers to support successful renewal decisions.
• Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Work closely with Sales, Customer Success, Legal, and Finance to align renewal strategies, resolve challenges, and identify expansion opportunities.
• Maintain Operational Discipline: Keep CRM opportunities accurate and current, including forecast status, renewal amounts, close dates, customer risks, and next steps.
• Drive Continuous Improvement: Contribute insights and best practices that strengthen customer engagement, renewal execution, and revenue predictability.

What We're Looking For

• You have 3+ years of experience in SaaS renewals, account management, or a customer-facing revenue role, with a demonstrated ability to retain recurring revenue.
• You proactively engage customers, lead meaningful discovery conversations, and build relationships with key stakeholders and decision-makers.
• You can confidently communicate business value, navigate customer objections, and negotiate commercial agreements that support successful renewals.
• You have experience managing renewal opportunities and revenue forecasts, with a disciplined approach to identifying risks, documenting next steps, and maintaining CRM accuracy.
• You thrive in a cross-functional environment, collaborating effectively with Sales, Customer Success, and other internal stakeholders to achieve customer and business outcomes.
• You are highly organized, self-directed, and accountable, with the ability to independently manage a portfolio of renewal opportunities and consistently drive them toward successful closure.
