Our Customer Success Managers are dedicated partners to our customers, working closely with them to understand their training goals and ensure OpenSesame delivers meaningful results. They provide ongoing guidance, recommend the right solutions, and help customers maximize the value of their learning programs.

Through thoughtful engagement and strong relationship-building, the CSM team drives utilization, supports strategic initiatives, and helps customers maintain momentum with OpenSesame. Their impact is reflected in renewals, account growth, reduced churn, and consistently high customer satisfaction.

As a Renewals Specialist, you’ll be the engine powering our customer retention and expansion efforts. Partnering closely with our Customer Success Managers, you’ll drive the entire renewal cycle—from developing pricing strategy and leading negotiations to crafting proposals, generating quotes, sending Sales Orders, closing opportunities, and completing RFPs.

We’re looking for a proactive, experienced Procurement, Vendor Management, Account Management, or Sales professional with strong negotiation skills, who will work with CSMs to prove the value delivered to our customers and drive the contract  renewal process.

• Build strong working relationships with internal and cross-functional teams, including Sales, Finance, and Legal.
• Become proficient in CPQ/SFDC and the systems that support the renewals process.
• Generate quotes and Sales Orders and begin closing opportunities with guidance.
• Confidently articulate the value of OpenSesame products and services during internal and customer conversations.

• Actively engage with customers and internal stakeholders to manage assigned renewals.
• Begin crafting pricing proposals in collaboration with CSMs and proactively resolve roadblocks to ensure on-time renewals.
• Review customer usage metrics and clearly articulate value delivered to reinforce renewal justification.
• Complete RFPs in our internal tool in partnership with CSMs.
• Forecast and begin closing upcoming renewals while identifying early upsell opportunities.

• Fully own the renewals and upsell lifecycle—from outreach to negotiation to close—for SMB and mid-market customers.
• Diagnose renewal risks, lead negotiation calls with Procurement teams, and collaborate with CSMs on enterprise opportunities.
• Confidently manage the renewals pipeline, ensuring continuous and accurate forecasting.
• Drive customer retention and expansion by contributing to a streamlined, customer-centered renewal strategy.

• Take over full management of enterprise renewals.
• Build strong cross-functional partnerships with Customer Success, Sales, Finance, and Legal to support seamless renewal and contract processes.
• Maintain accurate, up-to-date records of activities, opportunities, and forecasts in Salesforce on a daily basis.
• Demonstrate a solid grasp of customer needs, market dynamics, and expansion opportunities to further strengthen retention and revenue growth.

We’re looking for proven examples from your career that show you can do this job, that you’ve built systems, driven alignment, and created impact at scale. When you look back a year from now, you’ll know you’ve made OpenSesame better, faster, and stronger because of your impact.

Although it should go without saying (but it doesn’t), OpenSesame is an equal opportunity employer and we strive to create a welcoming, inclusive environment that celebrates diversity.
