5. Risk Mitigation: Proactively identify at-risk customers and collaborate with Customer Success, Support, and Sales teams to develop tailored solutions that address their needs and ensure renewal.
6. Collaborate with the Customer Success Organization: Work closely with cross-functional teams, including Customer Success, Services, and Sales, to optimize customer retention, adoption, and satisfaction.
7. Data-Driven Strategy: Utilize analytics to monitor renewal trends, forecast outcomes, and inform decisions, ensuring that strategies are informed by data and tailored to the specific dynamics of the APAC market.
8. Operational Excellence: Ensure that renewal processes are streamlined and scalable, working with internal stakeholders to drive operational efficiency, compliance, and adherence to pricing strategies.
9. Strategic Leadership: Own the development of the APAC renewal sales strategy, aligning with global objectives and ensuring that the team’s efforts support both customer retention and growth initiatives.
