About the role

The Renewals Associate ensures schools have uninterrupted access to Heggerty’s literacy solutions through consistent outreach, attention to detail, and excellent customer service.  This dedication supports teachers and students year after year.
• The ideal candidate thrives in a high-volume, fast-paced environment, excels at managing multiple priorities, and brings a personable, solutions-focused approach to every interaction.

What you'll do

• Proactively engage with customers via telephone, email, and CRM tools to present renewal subscription information (draft quotes, create and process orders, digital license renewals).
• Manage renewal and lead pipelines to prioritize high-value opportunities and optimize outreach efficiency.
• Accurately document all customer interactions, renewal statuses, and follow-up actions in Salesforce (or equivalent CRM).
• Respond to customer inquiries about licensing expirations, billing, and minor technical issues in a personable, customer-centric manner.
• Collaborate with internal stakeholders (account management, finance, product teams) to resolve customer questions, approvals, or exceptions in a timely fashion.
• Track renewal performance metrics; identify risks to renewal targets and propose mitigations.
• Follow up persistently to collect payments or finalize renewal orders before expiration.
• Adapt outreach strategies and experiment with new approaches to maximize renewal success.
• Handle seasonal peak periods with composure, maintaining high throughput and attention to detail under pressure.
• Meet established goals (e.g., number of renewal ops closed per period) while maintaining high customer satisfaction.
