  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to translate value and ROI across both business and procurement stakeholders
  • 7+ years of experience in renewals, account management, or customer success, with a focus on enterprise or strategic accounts

  • A process-driven approach with strong forecasting discipline and pipeline hygiene
  • Strong commercial negotiation skills and confidence structuring multi-year, multi-product agreements
  • Proficiency with Salesforce (or a comparable CRM) and comfort using data to drive decisions

  • Background in HR tech, compensation, or data/SaaS solutions
  • Experience renewing or selling into HR, Total Rewards, Compensation, or Finance buyers
  • Familiarity with tools like Gainsight, Gong, or similar customer success and revenue intelligence platforms
  • Direct experience working through the procurement and vendor-management functions of large enterprises
  • The chance to own the accounts that matter most, with real autonomy, executive visibility, and the support of a collaborative team that treats retention as a growth engine, not a back-office function
