The role… Our client contracts include an auto-renewal clause: unless a client gives written notice within an agreed window (typically 90 days) before the renewal date, the contract rolls over automatically. Most of the time this is straightforward. This role exists for the cases where it isn’t – where a client has missed that notice window but is unwilling to honour the renewal or pay for it.
You’ll own that process end-to-end:
- Identifying missed-window cases.
- Leading the conversation with the client (often alongside the Account Manager).
- Holding firm on the contractual position while protecting the relationship.
- Working with Finance and Legal to reach a resolution – whether that’s full enforcement, a negotiated settlement, or escalation.
What you’ll be doing…
- Work with the Rev Ops team to track auto-renewal notice deadlines across the client book and flag accounts that have missed the contractual cancellation window.
- Lead the client conversation on missed-window cases – often jointly with the Account Manager – holding the contractual position professionally while working toward the best commercial outcome.
- Assess each disputed case on its merits and negotiate an outcome within agreed guidelines: full renewal enforcement, a partial settlement, or an agreed exit.
- Partner with Legal to confirm the enforceability of the renewal clause on contested accounts, and escalate to formal dispute resolution where needed.
- Coordinate with Finance to ensure enforced renewals are invoiced correctly, and escalate to credit control or collections where payment is refused.
- Maintain a clear, audit-ready record of notice dates, client correspondence and enforcement decisions in Salesforce.
- Report on enforcement outcomes, revenue protected and win rates, and feed insights back into the renewal playbook and process design.
- Spot patterns in near-miss or disputed cancellations and recommend upstream fixes – reminder timing, notice-period clarity, contract wording.
What we’re looking for…
- Experience in contract compliance, renewals, credit control/collections or sales operations – ideally in a subscription or B2B environment with auto-renewal or evergreen contract terms.
- Comfortable holding a firm line in a difficult commercial conversation without damaging the client relationship.
- Working understanding of contract terms and notice-period mechanics, and confidence partnering with Legal on enforceability questions.
- Confident with Salesforce (or equivalent CRM) and accurate, audit-ready record-keeping.
- Numerate, with the ability to track and report against a multi-million-pound renewal book.
- Collaborative – able to work across Sales, Finance, Legal and Operations to reach a resolution.
Nice to Have
- Prior experience specifically enforcing auto-renewal or evergreen contract clauses.
- Familiarity with US, EMEA B2B contract law as it relates to renewal-clause enforceability.
- Experience working with an offshore/shared-services Ops team on invoicing or admin support.
