Own and execute renewals for SMB and mid-market SaaS customers, collaborate with CSMs and AEs to mitigate risk, lead commercial renewal conversations, drive forecasting in Salesforce, identify upsell at renewal, coordinate with Finance/Legal/Deal Desk, and improve renewal processes and metrics (NRR, churn, on-time renewals).

Redpanda is the first runtime and control plane for agent-data interaction — a unified platform that combines streaming, SQL analytics, and intelligent connectivity with the governance layer enterprise AI agents need in production. 

Built on infrastructure already trusted by Fortune 500 companies and fast-growing startups, Redpanda enforces governance entirely outside the agent's data path, controlling what agents see, limiting what they do, and capturing a tamper-proof record of everything they touch, so organizations never have to choose between innovation and control.
 

About the Role:  

This is a hybrid role based in our central Austin office, with a minimum of 3 days/week on-site.

  • Drive renewal forecasting accuracy by maintaining up-to-date opportunity data in Salesforce
  • Lead commercial conversations with customers around contract terms, pricing, and multi-year options
  • Identify and execute upsell and expansion opportunities at renewal time in collaboration with the sales team
  • Work cross-functionally with Finance, Legal, and Deal Desk to ensure contracts are processed accurately and on time
  • Track and report on renewal metrics including net revenue retention (NRR), churn, and on-time renewal rate
  • Continuously improve renewal processes, playbooks, and templates to scale the program

You Have: 

  • 5-7 years of experience in a renewals, inside sales, account management, or customer success role at a SaaS company
  • Demonstrated ability to manage a high-volume pipeline and consistently hit quota or renewal targets
  • Strong organizational skills with the ability to prioritize and juggle multiple accounts and deadlines simultaneously
  • Clear, professional communication skills — written and verbal — with comfort leading customer-facing conversations
  • Experience working in Salesforce or a comparable CRM to manage pipeline and forecast
  • A collaborative mindset and eagerness to work cross-functionally in a fast-moving environment

Nice to Have: 

  • Experience in a technical SaaS, open source, cloud infrastructure, or developer tools company

  • Exposure to renewal-specific tools such as Gong, ChurnZero, or Clari
  • Startup or pre-IPO experience
