Responsibilities

Own a high-volume renewal portfolio across Velocity accounts, ensuring contracts are renewed accurately and on time.

Run proactive renewal motions well before contract end dates, including outreach, follow-up, timeline management, and internal coordination.

Identify churn and contraction risk early using customer signals, activity trends, and internal context; escalate with clear recommendations when needed.

Position renewal value clearly and confidently for transactional customers, using customer outcomes, product usage, and business context to support the conversation.

Partner with CSMs, Account Directors, Finance, Legal, PS, Support, and leadership to resolve blockers and move deals forward.

Maintain accurate forecasts and CRM hygiene, including renewal status, risk level, blockers, next steps, and expected outcomes.

Use playbooks, segmentation, and automation to scale your work across a large book of business without sacrificing customer experience.

Support save motions and approved concession paths with sound judgment and strong internal communication.

Spot repeatable patterns across the Velocity segment and share ideas that improve renewal plays, risk detection, and operational efficiency.

Build working knowledge of CaptivateIQ's platform and customer use cases so you can connect renewal conversations to real customer value.
