About the Role

Paystand is seeking a commercially disciplined Renewals Manager to drive strong renewal outcomes across a dynamic subset of our customer base. This role is accountable for maximizing Gross Dollar Retention (GDR) by owning renewal strategy and execution for customers requiring active commercial engagement.

The Renewals Manager plays a critical role in Paystand's growth strategy by ensuring renewals are executed on time, on appropriate terms, and in alignment with pricing and contract policies, while exercising sound judgment to retain revenue and reduce churn. This role is expected to use automation and AI-enabled tools to manage a growing book of business efficiently, rather than scaling through added headcount.

What You Will Own

• Own renewal strategy and execution for a dynamic book of business
• Maximize Gross Dollar Retention through disciplined pricing application and contract optimization
• Lead customer conversations related to renewal pricing, contract terms, and renewal structure
• Apply pricing, discount, and contract policies consistently while evaluating tradeoffs to secure retention
• Structure and execute contract modifications, where appropriate, to improve renewal outcomes
• Drive migration from legacy agreements to current terms and conditions
• Identify and implement opportunities to automate renewal workflows, forecasting, and reporting, reducing manual overhead and increasing throughput
• Partner cross-functionally with Customer Success, Customer Growth, Finance, Legal, RevOps, and Operations to ensure effective and compliant renewals
• Use AI tools to support contract review, pricing analysis, and renewal risk identification, improving decision quality and speed
• Maintain accurate forecasting, documentation, and reporting related to renewal activity

How You'll Operate

• Operate with a revenue and retention-first mindset
• Leverage customer data, AI-assisted insights, historical context, and defined commercial guidelines to inform renewal decisions
• Communicate renewal terms and contract changes clearly and professionally
• Manage multiple renewal workstreams with varying levels of complexity and urgency, scaling personal output through tools and automation rather than added headcount
• Escalate non-standard requests thoughtfully and with clear business rationale

What We're Looking For

• 3+ years of experience in renewals, contract management, customer success, or a related commercial SaaS role
• Proven experience leading renewal discussions and navigating customer objections
• Strong analytical skills and sound commercial judgment
• Demonstrated experience using automation, AI tools, or systems-thinking to improve workflow efficiency and reduce manual work
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• High attention to detail and operational rigor
• Ability to operate effectively in a dynamic, fast-paced environment

What We Offer

• Enjoy generous PTO and sick leave, because we believe in balance.
• Fuel your days with free snacks and paid lunches in the office.
• We've got your health covered with Major Medical Health Insurance.
• Stay nourished with food vouchers and plan for your future with savings funds.
• Unlock stock options and own a piece of our success!
• Work with the best tools and equipment, setting you up to thrive.
• And the best part? Endless growth opportunities await you as we rapidly expand!

We understand that no candidate is perfectly qualified for any job. Experience manifests in diverse ways, skills are transferable, and passion is a powerful driver. Your journey and skills are unique, and we value the richness that diverse perspectives bring to our team.

We celebrate the belief that diversity in backgrounds and thoughts fuels better problem-solving and fosters more creative thinking. Our commitment to adding new perspectives to the team reflects our dedication to innovation and inclusivity.

Most of our roles are onsite. Positions that are eligible for remote or hybrid work arrangements will be clearly indicated in the job posting.
