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.

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.

About You
2+ years of contract administration or renewal management experience (required), ideally in a B2B subscription business model. A background in client success management is a strong plus, though not required. Comfortable keeping others on task — you can coordinate workflows across teammates, track deadlines, and follow up persistently and diplomatically. Detail-oriented documentation practices and strong Salesforce account hygiene that ensure transparency on account status, opportunity, and risk. Client-focused communication skills, including value positioning, handling renewal pushback, and navigating cancel conversations with professionalism. Highly organized, with the ability to manage a personal book of accounts alongside team-wide renewal workflows. Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Public Policy, Marketing, or a related discipline, or equivalent experience. Comfortable working effectively in a remote environment.
