Scale GTM excellence with deeper, predictive insights that improve revenue durability, forecast confidence, and post-sale execution.
The Senior Analyst, Customer Retention & Expansion sits within Cornerstone's centralized Revenue Operations Analytics COE and plays a critical role in improving gross and net retention, churn mitigation, renewal execution, and expansion outcomes across the post-sale lifecycle.

**2. Predictive & Diagnostic Analytics (Operationalized)**
+ Develop and apply predictive and diagnostic analytics (e.g., churn risk, renewal prioritization, expansion propensity) using SQL, Snowflake, and Python.- Operationalize predictive outputs into repeatable workflows such as renewal focus lists, risk segmentation, and forecast support materials.- Partner with Data Governance and Business Intelligence, where applicable, to support the movement of advanced analytics into production reporting or operational processes.- Apply scenario modeling to support forecast reviews, renewal deep dives, and in-quarter risk management.
**3. Snowflake & In-Database Analytics**
+ Leverage Snowflake and in-database analytics capabilities (including Snowflake Cortex where appropriate) to create scalable, repeatable scoring and insight outputs.- Build curated feature sets and analytical views that enable consistent use of retention and expansion signals across dashboards and analyses.
**4. Data Marts & Domain Data Quality**
+ Design and build domain-specific data marts in Snowflake to support retention, renewal, and expansion analytics.- Own metric definitions, analytical logic, and data quality for the retention and expansion analytics domain, ensuring consistency and trust across leadership reporting.- Proactively identify data issues, investigate root causes, and partner with Systems, BI, and Finance teams to resolve discrepancies.
**5. Executive Storytelling & Operating Cadence**
+ Translate complex analyses into clear, executive-ready narratives for forecast reviews, QBRs, and renewal deep dives.- Proactively surface emerging risks, trends, and opportunities before they appear in lagging results.- Contribute insights and analysis that inform recurring operating cadences led by RevOps and GTM leadership.
**You've got what it takes if you've got...**
+ 3-5 years of experience in Revenue Operations, GTM Analytics, Customer Analytics, or a related BI/Analytics role within a B2B SaaS or subscription business.- Demonstrated experience analyzing retention, churn, renewals, and expansion metrics.- Strong SQL skills and experience with cohorting, lifecycle analysis, and time-based modeling.- Experience building and maintaining dashboards in BI tools (Tableau preferred) and working directly with CRM and financial data.- Familiarity with Python and statistical techniques for predictive or diagnostic analysis (e.g., regression, propensity analysis) preferred.- Strong business acumen, curiosity, and the ability to connect data to decisions through clear, concise communication.
