Renewals Manager

About Kojo

It's time to build. Whether it's creating more housing, upgrading our infrastructure, or adapting to climate change, one thing is clear: the construction industry is at the center of solving our biggest problems. We’re making buildings cheaper and easier to build by transforming the way commercial construction companies buy their materials. Join us.

Founded in 2018, Kojo is now one of the fastest-growing construction technology companies in the world. Construction accounts for $10 trillion in global spend annually and we can’t live without its output - our roads, schools, hospitals, and offices. Despite this, there’s been very little innovation over the past 70 years in how materials - which constitute up to 40% of project costs - are bought and sold. This is our opportunity.

We’re looking for an organized, savvy Renewals Manager who will serve as a high-impact individual contributor on the Customer Success team. Reporting to the Sr. Renewal Manager, this role will combine product expertise, tenacity and sales acumen to drive a best-in-class customer renewal rate and net retention in our SMB market segment.

This role will include:

• Scheduling, planning, and conducting successful Annual Business Reviews

• Managing 30+ active renewals at any given time

• Providing product feedback internally and introducing new features to customers externally

• Pro-actively managing at-risk customers who demonstrate low usage in their purchased products, developing engagement plans to re-engage the customer’s adoption to secure renewal

• Managing a $1M+ book of business consisting of 120-150 accounts, the Renewals Manager will need to create a forward-thinking, strategic plan to prioritize engagement, daily activities and where to focus efforts

• Expressing customer needs to Product in a way that maintains customer’s perspective while understanding the broader Kojo product roadmap

• Conveying Kojo’s value in a meaningful way to customer decision makers and regular users alike
