Customer SuccessRenewals Specialist

We provide the world’s best end-to-end software supply chain security solution, combining the only proactive protection against malicious open source, the only enterprise grade SBOM management and the leading open source dependency management platform. This empowers enterprises to create and maintain secure, quality, and innovative software at scale.

As founders of Nexus Repository and stewards of Maven Central, the world’s largest repository of Java open-source software, we are software pioneers and our open source expertise is unmatched.

Why this role is so important

Sonatype is a fast-growing software company helping companies manage their open-source software supply chains. As a subscription-based business, our success hinges on our ability to renew and expand existing customer accounts. Fortunately, our customers trust Sonatype and value our solutions. This trust is demonstrated by our 90%+ renewal rate -- one of the highest renewal rates in the software subscription industry. As we grow, we must maintain and even increase this rate.

About the Position

We are looking for a passionate, reliable, and highly competent Renewal Specialist. This position may be appealing if you’re early in your career, are a contracts/accounting specialist looking for a change, or are looking for a path to a customer-facing career.

You will be accountable for proactively working through to on-time completion of renewing software subscriptions. You will monitor contract renewal terms and engage with customers to determine the best approach to retaining and even expanding the Sonatype footprint.
