In this role, you will own end-to-end customer renewals across a portfolio of accounts, in addition to partnering with Account Executives on expansions. You will represent Astronomer during a pivotal period in the customer lifecycle, articulating Astronomer’s value proposition in an increasingly competitive and crowded market.

• Partner with Account Executives to understand customer priorities and challenges.

• Create and maintain accurate forecasting reports for all renewals in your portfolio.

• Identify and secure upsell opportunities where applicable, whether at renewal or mid-cycle.

• Ensure on-time delivery of customer renewals without compromising the customer experience along the way.

• Identify risks and develop resolution strategies.

What you bring to the role:

• Client-facing experience in sales or SaaS-based customer success roles.

• Experience negotiating with executives and procurement at Enterprise companies.

• A demonstrable track record of exceeding goals.

• Curiosity around or existing knowledge of technology companies and how companies use and operationalize data.

• Hunger to grow in your career, in the context of a fast-paced, collaborative environment.

• Written and oral communication skills that will enable you to demonstrate product expertise and knowledge of data orchestration during consultative conversations with customers.

Bonus points if you have:

• Experience in a pre or post-sales role (preferably in a SaaS environment).

• Prior negotiating and closing experience.

• Experience with related market products such as Snowflake, Databricks, AWS, Azure, Google, ETL Technologies or open-source software.

• A desire to grow into an account executive, sales, or other customer-facing roles.

The estimated total compensation for this role ranges from $90,000-$130,000, along with an equity component.
