What We Need

- Open and manage renewal opportunities in Salesforce 12 months before contract end.
- Lead the end-to-end renewal timeline: health assessment (9mo), executive alignment (6mo), proposal (4mo), negotiation and legal coordination (2mo), close (30 days out).
- Maintain renewal forecast accuracy within ±5% of final ARR vs. 60-day projection.
- Escalate at-risk accounts (churn probability > 50%) to VP CS within 24 hours with a joint recovery plan.
Expansion & Growth
- Identify and qualify upsell opportunities across NetBrain modules, user seats, and new use cases.
- Maintain an expansion pipeline at ≥ 3× quarterly quota coverage in Salesforce.
- Partner with the Account Executive on joint proposals and POC planning for new module evaluations.
Internal Advocacy
