- Proactively identify and mitigate churn risks by addressing customer concerns, articulating Render's scalability, and reinforcing the value proposition.
- Drive account expansion by identifying opportunities to convert customers from month-to-month to committed annual contracts and lead the upsell motion.
- Collaborate closely with our Customer Engineers, who own the technical relationship with developers, to present a unified front and ensure customers are both technically successful and strategically aligned.
- Lead regular business reviews with key stakeholders to showcase ROI, review progress against goals, and uncover new opportunities for partnership.
