Customer Retention Manager

As a Customer Retention Manager reporting to AVP of Account Management, you'll play a critical role in managing and defending a shared portfolio of approximately 400 accounts across North America - keeping clients engaged, supported, and set up for long-term success.

You'll thrive in this position if you're resilient, solutions-oriented, and energized by fast-paced environments where responsiveness and problem-solving drive real business impact. An aptitude for supporting SaaS solutions is also key to a good match.

Key Responsibilities

• Serve as the primary point of contact for inbound customer requests including contract, billing, and cancellation inquiries; and product support - using every interaction as an opportunity to retain and strengthen the relationship.
• Apply retention strategies to de-escalate customer friction, address commercial objections, and deliver creative solutions that protect revenue and gross retention.
• Manage inbound requests with urgency and precision, ensuring acknowledgment within SLA and driving toward first-contact resolution on the majority of interactions.
• Audit account health during support touchpoints to identify product under-utilization and guide customers toward features that deepen engagement and reduce churn risk.
• Identify and route qualified expansion opportunities, and process transactional self-serve upgrades as they arise.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Business, Finance, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 3+ years of experience in Customer Success or Account Management within a B2B SaaS or FinTech environment.
• Proven ability to handle high-stakes customer situations - including billing disputes and cancellation requests - with empathy, tact, and effectiveness.
• Strong organizational and prioritization skills, with the ability to manage a high-volume inbound queue across multiple time zones.
• Proficiency with CRM and Customer Success platforms such as Salesforce.
• Clear and confident communicator, with the ability to diagnose issues and deliver solutions quickly in both written and verbal formats.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience managing large, pooled or unassigned account portfolios in a high-velocity environment.
• Familiarity with churn mitigation frameworks or structured retention methodologies.
• Exposure to SaaS products, and subscription-based business models.

This position will be located in Denver or Chicago and offers the opportunity for a hybrid work environment at least 3 days a week in-office, subject to change, providing flexibility and accessibility for qualified candidates.
