Outcome / Mission

Own Software Toolbox's renewal motion end-to-end, protecting recurring revenue while creating a consistent, proactive customer experience that strengthens retention and identifies expansion opportunities.

You will build a disciplined, scalable renewals engine. From midterm engagement and value reinforcement through commercial negotiation, master agreements, signature, and handoff. You will operate as part of the Inside Sales team and work alongside other customer-facing teams to reduce renewal risk, automate lower-dollar renewals, and turn the renewal cycle into a predictable source of retention and growth.

What You'll Do (Core Responsibilities)

· Own the renewal motion end-to-end for the existing customer base, with clear accountability for renewal execution, retention, timing, and commercial outcomes.

· Drive accuracy in the renewal forecast.

· Along with the Customer Success team, build and manage a proactive renewal cadence, including midterm customer communication, early risk identification, value reinforcement, and well-timed renewal outreach.

· Partner closely with the Inside Sales and Customer Success teams to align account strategy, surface customer needs and risks, demonstrate realized value, and coordinate renewal and expansion conversations.

· Own the commercial administration and lifecycle of master agreements, including tracking terms, coordinating internal stakeholders, managing amendments, and supporting negotiations and execution.

· Own and continuously optimize the automated renewal motion for smaller-dollar and lower-complexity accounts, evaluating performance, customer experience, and business outcomes to improve renewal rates, reduce manual effort, and lower cost-to-renew.

· Identify and drive upsell, cross-sell, multi-year, and broader adoption opportunities within the renewal process, routing and collaborating with the appropriate teams.

· Develop renewal playbooks, segmentation, workflows, templates, and escalation paths that create a consistent customer experience across account sizes and renewal types.

· Proactively manage at-risk renewals by identifying churn signals early, coordinating recovery plans, and escalating commercial or customer issues before they threaten retention.

· Work with the Customer Success team to track and report renewal KPIs such as renewal rate, gross revenue retention, on-time renewal rate, renewal cycle time, expansion at renewal, forecast accuracy, and automation rate.

· Continuously improve the renewal process by analyzing losses, delays, customer feedback, and operational friction, then translating insights into measurable improvements.

· Hands-on experience working with master agreements, contract terms, amendments, and commercial negotiations in partnership with internal stakeholders.

· Strong customer communication and negotiation skills, including the ability to lead proactive midterm and renewal conversations.

· Demonstrated ability to manage a portfolio of renewals with disciplined forecasting, prioritization, follow-up, and attention to detail.

· Comfortable using CRM and automation tools to manage workflows, reporting, customer communication, and renewal visibility.

· Strong cross-functional collaboration skills and a bias toward ownership, process improvement, and measurable commercial results.

Preferred Qualifications (Separators)

· Familiarity with industrial software, technical products, software licensing, or customers in engineering, manufacturing, and industrial automation.

· Experience with contract lifecycle management, e-signature, quoting, billing, or subscription management tools.
