  • Maintain strong relationships with school district decision-makers to drive retention and long-term engagement.
  • Address concerns related to pricing, contract terms, and product value before renewal deadlines.
  • 3. Pricing and Negotiation

  • Collaborate with sales, finance, and legal teams to determine appropriate pricing for renewals, discounts, or contract adjustments.
  • Negotiate renewal terms with K-12 school district clients, ensuring alignment with budgets and funding cycles.
  • Identify upsell and cross-sell opportunities during renewal discussions to support district needs.
  • 4. Data Management & Reporting

  • Communicate with sales and advisory teams to proactively mitigate churn risks among school districts.
  • Work with legal and compliance teams to ensure contract terms align with district purchasing requirements and industry regulations.
  • 6. Customer Retention & Risk Mitigation

  • Proactively identify school districts at risk of non-renewal and develop strategies to retain them.
  • Address budget concerns, funding limitations, and contract hesitations by demonstrating software value and ROI.
  • Escalate high-risk renewals to leadership or customer success teams when necessary.
  • 7. Process Improvement & Efficiency

  • Identify automation or workflow improvements in contract management systems to streamline renewals for K-12 school districts.
  • What you bring to the role :

  • Highly organized and detail-oriented, with the capacity to manage multiple renewals, pricing discussions, and contract negotiations simultaneously.
  • Skilled in overseeing the full renewal lifecycle—from quote preparation to execution and client communication.
  • Proficient in managing a clear pipeline of renewals and retention efforts through CRM tools such as Salesforce or NetSuite.
  • Analytical mindset with the ability to track key retention metrics, identify trends, and share actionable insights with leadership.
  • Committed to continuous improvement through customer feedback loops that enhance retention strategies and overall client experience.
  • Familiarity with K–12 purchasing processes, budget cycles, and funding sources is a plus.
  • This role requires :

  • 2-4 years of experience in contract renewals, account management, or sales within education technology, SaaS, or enterprise software.
  • Strong negotiation, communication, and relationship-building skills.
  • Proficiency in CRM tools such as Salesforce, NetSuite, or similar platforms.
