Description

  • Own churn rate, renewal rate, and net revenue retention, including setting targets and driving outcomes.
  • Build and execute the retention plan from analysis through implementation and results reporting.
  • Lead the existing Retention team and evolve its structure as the work scales.
  • Coach and develop team members to increase their impact and effectiveness.
  • Monitor support trends, ticket patterns, account behavior, and churn signals using internal intelligence tools.
  • Work closely with Support to identify current customer pain points and emerging retention risks.

Requirements

  • Ability to explain specific actions taken, the numbers involved, and the results achieved.
  • Background in self-serve B2B SaaS, ideally in SMB, prosumer, or developer tools.

  • Data-fluent and comfortable reading funnels and retention metrics.
  • Ability to write SQL or work precisely with an analyst to get the analysis needed.
  • Comfort using AI tools as part of a daily workflow.
  • Strong decision-making in ambiguity, including committing with incomplete information and adjusting as needed.
  • Preferred: experience leading or shaping retention work in a mature, profitable software company.

Benefits

  • Direct, regular access to the CEO.
  • 100% remote work since 2008.
  • Strong async culture with a modest meeting load and flexible hours.
