About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Owning gross and net revenue retention across ChowNow's restaurant base, building a predictable, forecastable retention and expansion engine that leadership can plan against.
Leading and developing a team of managers and individual contributors, building the coaching, capability, and structure needed to scale Account Management as ChowNow grows.
Building and operationalizing the renewal motion for annual contracts (proactive outreach, negotiation, uplift) and the retention motion for monthly customers (engagement, adoption, downgrade prevention).
Designing and deploying cross-sell and upsell plays mapped to ChowNow's product suite — including qualification criteria, talk tracks, and rep enablement to support expansion opportunities consistently.
Building and maintaining an account health framework that flags at-risk customers early, triggers consistent save motions, and reduces churn across both annual and monthly populations.
Driving measurable lifts in product adoption and value realization in partnership with Marketing, Product, and Lifecycle teams.
Running a weekly forecast cadence covering renewals, churn risk, and expansion pipeline; deliver against forecast with the discipline and accuracy leadership can rely on.
Surfacing the top systemic drivers of churn and downgrade to the executive team, with a prioritized cross-functional remediation roadmap spanning Product, Onboarding, Pricing, and Support.
Partnering closely with Sales, Marketing, Product, Finance, and Billing to align on customer lifecycle ownership, expansion handoffs, and retention strategy.
Delivering a comprehensive Account Management strategy — covering NRR, GRR, churn, expansion, and adoption — with quarterly targets and the operating plan to hit them.
