Renewal Specialist
Keyloop
Operations
Prague, Czechia
The Renewal Specialist is the execution engine of Keyloop's Renewals Desk. This is a hands-on, deal-doing role focused on owning and closing a portfolio of customer renewals across defined segments — ensuring contracts are renewed on time, at the right value, and with minimal churn.
Working within the frameworks and playbooks established by the Senior Manager, Renewals & Retention, the Renewal Specialist will be the primary point of contact for renewal activity across their assigned accounts — managing timelines, progressing negotiations, identifying risk, and executing save plays where required.
This role is not about building the strategy. It is about delivering it — consistently, professionally, and at pace.
Key Responsibilities
- Own a defined portfolio of customer renewals across one or more segments
- Manage the full renewal lifecycle for assigned accounts, including:
- Proactive outreach at defined points in the renewal timeline
- Confirmation of renewal intent and commercial terms
- Coordination with Finance and Legal on contract execution
- Escalation to the Senior Manager for complex or at-risk situations
- Ensure all renewals are progressed within defined timelines and milestones
- Maintain accurate and up-to-date renewal records in Salesforce (or relevant CRM)
- Proactively identify accounts showing signs of renewal risk (engagement drop, open issues, commercial sensitivity)
- Apply risk-based renewal management approaches in line with the Renewal Excellence Programme playbooks
- Execute save plays for at-risk accounts, including structured outreach, concession handling, and escalation paths
- Flag emerging risk to the Senior Manager with clear context and a recommended action
- Lead commercial renewal negotiations within agreed parameters — protecting ARR and minimising discount leakage
- Apply the correct renewal motion by account type:
- Auto-renewal vs negotiated renewal
- Multi-year renewal scenarios
- Price increase conversations
- Upsell and expansion opportunities (in coordination with Sales)
- Refer non-standard commercial arrangements to the Senior Manager or relevant commercial approver
- Maintain accurate renewal forecasts for assigned portfolio at all times
- Provide weekly input to the renewals pipeline and risk reporting cycle
- Flag forecast changes promptly, with clear reason codes and next actions
- Contribute to renewal performance data used by the Senior Manager for ELT and board reporting
- Liaise with Customer Success Managers on account health and renewal readiness
- Coordinate with Finance on invoicing, billing terms, and contract queries
- Engage Legal and Commercial Operations as required for contract execution
- Provide feedback on playbook effectiveness and flag process gaps to the Senior Manager
