Maintain strong commercial rigor through disciplined pricing, packaging, and deal structuring in partnership with Revenue Operations, Legal, and Finance.
Own renewal and expansion forecasting for your portfolio, maintaining accurate pipeline hygiene in sales tools and reporting progress to targets.
Collaborate cross-functionally with Customer Success, Implementation, Support, Product, and Marketing to ensure seamless execution and long-term partnership success.
Monitor account health and risk signals using data and qualitative feedback, prioritizing actions that mitigate churn, protect GRR, and support durable NRR growth.
Serve as a trusted advisor by bringing best practices, product capabilities, and roadmap insights to influence strategic customer decisions and expansion outcomes.
Document and share customer insights and trends with internal stakeholders to inform product direction, packaging, and go-to-market strategy.
Continuously sharpen sales craft and product expertise by staying current on Ironclad’s offerings, competitive landscape, and the evolving needs of enterprise legal and business teams.
