  • Maintain renewal data in CRM, and ensure all client records are up to date
  • Renewal Risk and Churn Forecasting
  • Handle routing and follow through of client escalation
  • Support Client Experience Manager with renewal forecasting and pipeline visibility.

  • Track and report on request volume, response times, and routing accuracy.
  • What You'll Bring:

  • Strong communication skills — clear, professional, and confident.
  • High attention to detail, especially when working with pricing, contracts, and CRM data.
  • Ability to prioritize multiple tasks and manage time effectively.
  • Familiarity with CRM systems (Salesforce, HubSpot, or similar).

  • Applicants must be authorized to work in the United States without the need for visa sponsorship now or in the future.
