The Renewals Rep will focus on reaching renewal rate, renewal ACV and renewal billings targets in a prescribed territory, while supporting and enabling expansion motions in partnership with the AM/AE. As customers have acquired Sophos solutions, it is necessary that we continue to ensure those customers realize the value expected from their purchase and renew and ideally expand that business relationship together. The Renewals Rep will be responsible for managing the pipeline of renewals opportunities that are not already being driven by their AM/AE partners in a prescribed territory.

• Work in support of the new business sales team when their expansion business is in conjunction with a pending renewal to ensure full renewal is achieved and partnering to support the additional growth solutions to the customer’s desired cybersecurity and business outcomes.

Renewals Representative by Segment

• Enterprise Renewals Rep: Low volume engagement driven primarily through strategic partnership with Enterprise Account Executive, within or outside of the renewal window. Engagement based on collaboration with AE regarding risk or potential.
• Midmarket Renewals Rep: Medium volume engagement within renewals window, partnering through opportunity tagging by Account Executive, and outbound engagement for any untagged renewal window opportunities.
• Commercial Renewals Rep: High volume engagement within renewals window, leveraging outbound digital, cadenced engagements. Motions driven primarily through partner engagement with reactive actions in support of full book of commercial renewals within renewal window.

What You Will Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Communications, or Marketing preferred; or proven relevant experience in previous roles.
• 1-3+ years experience in renewal account management or sales roles working with decision‑makers in large organizations with a proven track record of achieving and exceeding sales quotas.
