Job Overview

Genea is growing fast, and how we protect and grow our recurring revenue is becoming more important every quarter. This is a rare opportunity to own and shape our renewals function for our Security product from the ground up. As our first dedicated Senior Renewals Manager, you won’t just process renewals—you’ll define how renewals are done at Genea: the process, the policies, the playbooks, and the commercial standards that turn a reactive, deadline-driven scramble into a proactive, value-led motion. You’ll get the book caught up, move us to a consistent forward-looking renewal cadence, and over time evolve the role into a value-confirmation and light expansion (upsell/cross-sell) motion that grows net revenue retention.

This is a senior, high-autonomy individual-contributor role for someone who sees a high-potential function and is energized by the chance to build it into a best-in-class one. You’ll partner daily with Finance, Sales, and Customer Success, leverage offshore support for operational scale, and have the runway to bring AI and automation into the workflow.

Just as important, this is a build role with room to grow: you’ll stand the function up from the ground floor, and as the book and the motion scale, a high performer will have the opportunity to grow it into a renewals team—and to grow with it into the leader who manages that team. If you want visible impact, executive exposure (this role reports directly to the COO), and the autonomy to build something you can eventually lead, this is it.

Duties and Responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end renewals book of business for Genea’s Security product—driving on-time renewals, eliminating the existing renewal backlog, and hitting gross and net revenue retention (GRR/NRR) targets.
• Mature the Security renewals function—design, document, and continuously improve the renewals process, policies, playbooks, and best practices; proactively identify issues and gaps and propose and implement solutions.
• Shift the renewal motion earlier—move engagement from roughly 30 days before expiration to a 90-day-out cadence (and 180 days out for larger and strategic accounts), anchored on proactive value confirmation rather than last-minute paperwork.
• Negotiate and close the commercial terms of renewals—including SKU/edition changes, additions to terms and conditions, contractual price increases and uplift capture, multi-year commitments, and the removal of first-year and introductory discounts—balancing retention with margin and lifetime value.
• Build a light expansion motion over time—within approximately 18 months, layer a customer-success-style upsell and cross-sell motion into the renewal conversation, using value confirmation as the bridge to identifying and capturing expansion opportunities.
• Partner cross-functionally with Finance (pricing, billing, forecasting, and deal desk), Sales (account ownership and clean handoffs), and Customer Success (account health, adoption, and value realization) to align on strategy and execution.
