Renewal & Expansion Manager
Savance, Commerce Township, MI, United States
What We Are Looking For
Savance Workplace is seeking a Renewal & Expansion Manager/Customer Success Manager (CSM) to serve as the strategic owner of our post-sale customer relationships, with a primary focus on renewals, account expansion, upsells, and long-term retention.
This is a foundational Renewal & Expansion Manager/Customer Success role within a small, fast-growing, startup-like SaaS company. You will not be stepping into a fully built-out department — instead, you will play a key role in shaping how Customer Success operates, partnering closely with Sales and leadership, and helping lay the groundwork for a scalable CS organization as the company grows.
You will act as a trusted advisor to customers and resellers, owning both the relationship and the commercial success of your accounts. Success in this role requires comfort with revenue conversations, executive-level engagement, and full ownership of renewals and expansion strategy.
You will manage a diverse portfolio of 1,000+ organizations, including large, complex, global enterprises. Your performance will be measured by renewal rates, expansion revenue, customer satisfaction, product adoption, and long-term customer loyalty.
ABOUT SAVANCE Savance is a fast-paced, dynamic, challenging, and demanding environment; and also a fun and rewarding place to work. We thrive as a team and are always looking for the people who are the right fit and have the right attitude to bring even greater success and camaraderie to the table. To excel at Savance, you must love to be challenged, seek out opportunities to develop your skills, be confident yet humble, and be able to learn from your mistakes. We thrive working alongside smart, independent, and self-motivated people who get along well with others.
If you have a can-do attitude and seek a challenging, rewarding position with a great team, Savance is the place for you!
