Renewal Manager
Who are we?
At Leadership Connect , we believe that relationships are everything in business and in life. Founded by two former CEOs of S&P 500 companies and a former presidential press secretary, our premier information service is built for developing relationships that impact decisions in government, business, and media. Utilizing deep research expertise and cutting-edge technology, we help our clients win business and influence policy across various specialties and verticals. We are a close-knit team dedicated to helping each of our users make a difference.
The role anchors a small, three-person client services team, owning the contract administration and renewal workflows that keep every renewal on track while personally managing a book of accounts. This role coordinates renewal and contract processes on behalf of the Account Directors on the team — tracking renewal timelines, keeping renewal tasks moving, and maintaining rigorous Salesforce documentation — and monitors the broader account base for retention risk so nothing slips before it becomes churn.
This role also serves as the personal account manager for a dedicated book of clients. These are largely on-demand accounts that require less outbound engagement and are primarily supported by marketing programs, so the emphasis is on responsive, high-quality client support: renewal conversations, onboarding and training support for client users, and value positioning at renewal time. The role is client-facing, though to a lesser degree than a traditional high-volume account management role.
This role reports into the Revenue Operations team and works closely with Sales Leadership, Client Success, and Finance.
Core Functions of the Role
-
Own contract administration and renewal workflows for the team . Manage the renewal calendar across the team’s accounts; review upcoming renewals and auto-renewals ahead of deadlines; keep the team’s Account Directors on task through each stage of the renewal process; partner with Revenue Operations on contract updates and amendments; and upload executed agreements to SharePoint.
-
Monitor accounts for retention risk. Track engagement and usage signals across the team’s account base, flag churn risk early to the Account Directors and leadership, and partner with Client Success to use client usage patterns to strengthen the business case for renewal.
-
Personally manage a book of on-demand accounts. Serve as account manager for a book of clients who are largely marketing-supported and need less outbound engagement — owning their renewals, auto-renewals, account planning, pricing conversations (including price increases and client pushback), and Salesforce opportunity updates and notes.
-
Provide client onboarding and training support. Deliver onboarding and training support to client users, partnering with Client Success to activate new users within a client license and position product value with client decision-makers.
-
Maintain strong documentation practices. Document all renewal conversations in Salesforce, keep account status, opportunity, and risk transparent to sales leadership, and ensure appropriate client billing contacts with any liaison needed with Finance.
-
Support healthy account practices. Collaborate with Client Success on account hygiene — activating and deactivating users, identifying accounts unassigned to Client Success, and surfacing upsell opportunities within the book.
