Role
Who you are
- We're looking for a strategic and proactive founding Renewals Manager with a builder mindset—someone excited to own and scale programs that drive retention and growth across the entire customer lifecycle
- 2+ years of experience in renewals, account management, or customer success roles in B2B SaaS
- Strong commercial acumen and ability to navigate complex procurement cycles with executive stakeholders
- A proven track record of hitting GRR and NRR goals while managing a high volume of renewals
- Familiarity with Salesforce, sales workflows, and renewal forecasting best practices
- Excellent organization, communication, and stakeholder management skills
- The ability to thrive in a dynamic environment and contribute to building new systems and processes from the ground up
- Passion for customer outcomes and cross-functional collaboration
What the job involves
- This role is critical to how we deliver value, protect revenue, and unlock expansion opportunities at scale
- You'll not only own renewal execution but also build the systems, programs, and processes that make retention a repeatable, measurable motion
- Few roles provide such a direct impact on the growth of the company
- Own and execute the end-to-end renewal strategy for a defined customer segment
- Proactively manage renewal cycles from discovery to negotiation, aligning stakeholders and commercial strategy around clear business outcomes
- Forecast renewals, expansions, and risks with accuracy using Salesforce and internal tooling
- Serve as a trusted commercial advisor internally and externally, helping teams and customers navigate renewal and expansion decisions with confidence
- Design and operationalize scalable onboarding and adoption programs that directly support renewals and expansion, tailored to real customer use cases
- Build programmatic enablement that balances self-serve education with high-touch implementation for strategic accounts
- Create and maintain content (courses, guides, webinars) that deepens product proficiency and prepares accounts for long-term success and growth
- Partner with Marketing and Product to launch campaigns that drive adoption, reinforce value, and influence renewal outcomes
- Lead live learning sessions—including office hours and training webinars—to accelerate time to value and strengthen product engagement
- Evaluate and measure the impact of lifecycle programs on adoption, retention, and upsell metrics
- Collaborate cross-functionally to improve tooling, reporting, and internal workflows that scale renewals management across the business
- In your first week, expect to:
- Learn Common Room’s customer personas, use cases, and current renewal playbooks
- Get hands-on in the product and meet your cross-functional collaborators
- Join renewal conversations and listen in on expansion strategy calls
- In your first month, expect to:
- Own a renewal forecast for a portion of our customer base
- Identify early risks and lead plays in partnership with CSMs and Sales
- Build renewal-specific collateral and tooling improvements
- In your first three months, expect to:
- Be fully ramped and independently managing renewals across your book
- Lead cross-functional post-mortems and strategy syncs for key renewal outcomes
- Drive process improvements that help us scale retention efforts more efficiently
