Job Description: Head of Retention & Renewals
Function: Revenue | Reports to: VP - Sales | Location: Ahmedabad
About Company
The company is a leading B2B SaaS platform serving the SMB restaurant industry. It provides technology solutions that help restaurants manage core operations. The business has a large and growing base of restaurant customers across India and operates on a recurring-revenue model.
About the Role
Retention and renewals are one of the most critical functions in the organization and even more critical from the revenue/topline point of view. We're looking for a leader who can own this P&L line end-to-end, combining hands-on inside sales execution with strong analytical rigor to identify and capture renewal opportunities at scale.
Key Responsibilities
- Own and drive the retention and renewal number, treating even small percentage improvements as high-impact P&L levers
- Lead and scale an inside sales-style calling team and on-field retention team—focused on renewal conversations, upsells, and win-backs
- Manage and coordinate with the on-ground retention team that conducts in-person visits to assess restaurant operational status (active/inactive usage)
- Build and continuously refine renewal playbooks, operations, calling scripts, and outreach cadences
- Deep-dive into usage, billing, and engagement data to identify at-risk accounts, churn signals, and upselling opportunities
- Build dashboards and reports to track renewal rates, churn drivers, and cohort-level trends
- Run experiments (offers, timing, messaging) to improve renewal conversion and measure impact rigorously
- Collaborate with Sales, Product, KAM, and Support to feed back churn insights and close product/service gaps
- Set targets, build forecasts, and report on retention KPIs to leadership
What We're Looking For
- Proven experience leading inside sales/telecalling teams, ideally in a renewals, retention, or account management context
- Strong analytical and data skills comfortable slicing data in data analytics tools to find patterns and opportunities
- Experience managing field/on-ground teams is a plus
- A problem-solver mindset with high ownership of revenue outcomes
- Prior experience in SaaS, subscription businesses, or SMB-focused companies (restaurant tech a plus)
- Strong communication skills to lead, motivate, and coach a calling team
What Success Looks Like
- Improved renewal rate (%) and reduced churn across the existing customer base
- Data-driven segmentation enabling targeted, high-conversion renewal campaigns
- A high-performing, well-coached inside sales renewals team
- Driving upselling initiatives to get incremental revenue
