• Open and manage renewal opportunities in Salesforce 12 months before contract end
• Lead the end-to-end renewal timeline: health assessment (9mo), executive alignment (6mo), proposal (4mo), negotiation and legal coordination (2mo), close (30 days out)

• Escalate at-risk accounts (churn probability > 50%) to VP CS within 24 hours with a joint recovery plan
