  • Manage contract terminations, billing disputes, and customer escalations to protect revenue and maintain relationships
  • Lead renewal negotiations and expansion discussions to maximize customer lifetime value
  • Resolve payment issues and billing concerns in partnership with Finance team

  • Manage contract repository and data analytics to identify trends, bottlenecks, and optimization opportunities

    • Essential Qualifications :

    Technology Sales Operations Experience

  • Minimum 7 years in contract negotiations within technology companies, with at least 3 years partnering with the business in deal desk, sales operations, or revenue operations roles
  • Deep expertise in SaaS business models including subscription pricing, usage-based billing, and enterprise licensing structures
  • Proven track record managing enterprise B2B technology deals ($100K+ ACV) through complex sales cycles
  • Experience with CRM systems (Salesforce preferred), CPQ tools, and contract lifecycle management platforms

    • Strategic Business Acumen

  • Bachelor's degree in business, legal studies, or equivalent experience in technology sales environment
  • Demonstrated ability to balance legal compliance with business objectives under tight, rapid-paced deal deadlines
  • Experience working autonomously with defined decision-making authority and escalation protocols

    • Partnership & Communication
