Renewals Manager

About the Role

The Renewals Manager owns and drives the end-to-end renewal motion for a defined book of business, ensuring strong customer retention, predictable revenue outcomes, and long-term account value. This role partners closely with Customer Success, Account Management, and Sales to proactively manage renewal risk, negotiate commercial terms, and deliver value-aligned renewal outcomes that support Abnormal’s growth goals.

As a more senior individual contributor, the Renewals Manager is expected to independently manage renewal strategy for their accounts, identify and mitigate risk early, and influence renewal outcomes through strong commercial judgment and customer advocacy. In addition to securing renewals, this role plays a meaningful part in expansion motions such as licensing true-ups and value-based upsells.

This position is ideal for candidates with proven renewal ownership who can balance customer empathy with commercial rigor in a fast-paced SaaS environment.
