• Lead strategic account reviews, renewal discussions, and customer conversations that connect solution adoption and program outcomes to measurable business impact.
• Monitor account health across a substantial book of business, identifying disengagement, adoption challenges, and renewal risks early and developing proactive mitigation strategies.
• Coordinate with Implementation, Solutions Engineering, Product, and other technical teams to address complex deployments and integrations, including HRIS, EHR, and claims-system connections.
• Identify expansion and cross-sell opportunities within existing accounts and collaborate with the appropriate sales stakeholders to develop those opportunities.

• Collaborate with Customer Success, Support, and Product teams to advocate for customer needs and improve retention processes, customer experience, and long-term account value.
• Maintain strong organization and operational discipline across the portfolio, ensuring follow-ups, renewal milestones, risks, and customer commitments are consistently managed.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in Strategic Account Management, Customer Success, Renewals, Client Retention, or a related customer-facing function, preferably managing complex or high-value accounts.
• Demonstrated ability to engage, influence, and build credibility with C-suite and senior executive stakeholders, including CFOs, General Counsels, CEOs, or equivalent leaders.
• Experience working in healthcare, compliance, SaaS, recurring-revenue businesses, or another regulated or technically complex environment is strongly preferred.
• Strong analytical and organizational capabilities, with the ability to manage a substantial portfolio while maintaining attention to detail and proactive follow-through.
