• Engagement triage. Decide which renewals process straight-through, which require CSM partnership, and which require AE engagement.
• Direct customer engagement. Engage customers on commercial discussions and case-by-case interventions to progress renewals or de-escalate risk.
• Automation and tooling. Design automated renewal communication workflows. Identify gaps in Salesforce and adjacent tools; influence Sales Operations, Finance, and IT to close them.
• Churn analysis and commercial intelligence. Capture structured churn reasons at every close. Produce quarterly commercial insights report — surfacing patterns in churn, downgrades, pricing pushback, and competitive context to
product, pricing, and leadership.
• Cross-functional coordination. Partner with CSM, TAM, Support, Delivery, Sales, Finance, Billing Support, Product, and Legal. Co-author renewal readiness assessments with inputs from CSM, TAM, and Support.
• AI-driven evolution. Drive aggressive use of AI to scale the renewal motion. Evolve toward strategic oversight of AI-driven renewal workflows; focus human attention on edge cases and continuous refinement of the model.
