Why this role is so important

Sonatype is a fast-growing software company helping companies manage their open-source software supply chains. As a subscription-based business, our success hinges on our ability to renew and expand existing customer accounts. Fortunately, our customers trust Sonatype and value our solutions. This trust is reflected in our 85%+ renewal rate—one of the highest in the software subscription industry. As we grow, we must maintain and even increase this rate.

We are looking for a passionate, reliable, and highly competent Renewal Specialist. This position may be appealing if you’re early in your career, are a contracts/accounting specialist looking for a change, or are looking for a path to a customer-facing career.

You will be accountable for proactively driving on-time completion of software subscription renewals. You will monitor contract renewal terms and engage with customers to determine the best approach to retaining and even expanding the Sonatype footprint. And since hiccups can happen along the way, you will need to tap into your seasoned judgment in non-routine renewal situations to ensure customer success while maintaining subscription integrity and profitability.

• Educate customers on relevant subscription options based on their current and future product and service goals.

• Coordinate the preparation of renewal quotes and ordering documents and ensure their mutual execution and processing per Sonatype’s policies and procedures.

• Help ensure customers are SUCCESSFUL and DELIGHTED with Sonatype products and services, not merely satisfied.

• Experience in a high-volume activity environment, managing multiple priorities and competing demands while focusing on the primary goal.

• Ability to discuss contract compliance, expansions, and product pricing with customers

• Extreme attention to detail to ensure customers execute contract paperwork accurately and on time
