You will lead, coach, and develop a team of renewal professionals and people leaders, and champion the use of AI tools and co-worker agents to prepare renewal strategies, analyze pricing and contract data, and surface risk early, while focusing your own expertise on renewal strategy, team performance, executive relationships, and high-stakes negotiations.

You will own the team’s end-to-end renewal process, from strategy creation through contract signature, across a book of assigned accounts, working closely with Sales and Customer Success and partnering with Legal, Deal Desk, Finance/Accounting, Product, and SalesOps.

• Own the GRR target and the team’s full contract renewal lifecycle, ensuring our standard process is initiated well in advance of expiration so renewals are on time and commercially sound.
• Review and approve renewal strategies, pricing and contract analyses, and recommendations, and personally lead negotiations on strategic, escalated, and at-risk accounts with executive stakeholders.

Theme 3: Cross-Functional Partnership

• Partner with Sales, Customer Success, Legal, Deal Desk, Finance/Accounting, Product, and SalesOps to ensure renewals are executed as planned and in line with company standards.
• Enable consistent, value-anchored renewal conversations across the team with clear messaging, value articulation, and pricing rationale.

Theme 4: Reporting, Forecasting & Operational Efficiency

• Own renewal performance reporting and forecasting, including renewal status and churn risk, and present insights to executive leadership to inform decisions and achieve retention rate goals.
• Use AI-powered resources to identify patterns across the renewal portfolio, prioritize team focus, and continuously improve forecast accuracy.
• Identify process gaps and drive operational improvements across the broader renewals function.

What You'll Bring:

Required Skills:

• 8+ years of experience in renewals or account management roles in a B2B SaaS environment, including 3+ years leading teams and/or managing people leaders.
• Demonstrated ability to lead a large book of renewals from initiation through close, including complex pricing and term negotiations and executive stakeholder communication.
• Track record driving AI adoption across a team or function, including building AI tools and co-worker agents into team workflows.
• Proficient data analysis skills with experience tracking, reporting, and forecasting against renewal KPIs.
• Strong cross-functional collaboration skills, working alongside Sales, CS, Finance, Legal, Deal Desk, Sales Ops, and leadership to align on strategy and execution.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to craft clear value messaging and pricing rationale for diverse audiences.

Preferred Skills:

• Experience using CRM and renewal management platforms (e.g., Salesforce CPQ, Clari) for pipeline management and forecasting.
• Experience designing AI-assisted workflows or co-worker agents that improve team efficiency and forecast accuracy.
• Experience hiring and building renewals or account management teams.
