Backed by leading investors including Andreessen Horowitz and Bessemer Venture Partners, Doppel is a rapidly growing Series C company helping customers stay ahead of modern digital threats. The Role We are hiring our first dedicated Renewals Manager to build and run the renewals function at Doppel . This is a builder role and a hands-on commercial role. You will not inherit a finished renewals organization or simply administer contracts. You will design the operating model while personally owning renewal execution across our customer base. You will establish the systems, processes, forecasting discipline, commercial guardrails, segmentation, and cross-functional handoffs required to make renewals predictable and scalable. At the same time, you will be directly responsible for moving renewals from early planning through commercial negotiation, procurement, signature, and close. You will partner closely with Customer Success Managers, Account Executives, CS Operations / RevOps, Deal Desk, Finance, Legal, and channel partners. Customer Success will continue to own customer value, adoption, health, and risk-recovery plans. You will own the commercial renewal motion and renewable ARR. This is initially an individual-contributor role, with the opportunity to help define how the renewals organization should evolve as Doppel scales. What You Will Do Build the Renewals Function Design and implement Doppel 's scalable renewals operating model, including lifecycle stages, ownership, exit criteria, escalation paths, and rules of engagement. Establish renewal motions for strategic, core, scaled, direct, channel, and auto-renewal customers. Build a forward-looking renewal forecasting and inspection cadence that gives leadership reliable visibility into renewable ARR, expected renewals, churn, contraction, timing risk, and commercial blockers. Define clear renewal stages, forecast categories, risk definitions, and Salesforce data requirements so the renewal book can be inspected consistently. Develop playbooks, templates, customer and partner cadences, dashboards, reporting, and repeatable commercial workflows. Partner with Deal Desk, Finance, Legal, Sales, and CS leadership to define commercial guardrails for standard uplifts, multi-year agreements, co-terming, concessions, downsells, payment terms, and non-standard exceptions. Establish consistent churn and contraction reason codes and use renewal data to identify systemic retention risks and improvement opportunities. Identify opportunities to automate renewal opportunity creation, reminders, quoting, risk detection, reporting, and administrative work using Salesforce, customer-success tooling, and AI. Continuously refine the model as renewal volume and complexity grow, including recommending when additional renewal capacity or specialized coverage is required. Run the Renewal Business Personally own the end-to-end commercial renewal lifecycle across Doppel 's customer base, from early planning through quote, negotiation, procurement, signature, and close. Maintain a forward-looking view of the renewal book and ensure upcoming renewals are identified, validated, and actively managed well in advance of expiration. Lead customer-facing renewal conversations covering pricing, uplift, term, multi-year options, scope changes, downsell, procurement, and contract execution. Own standard renewal quotes and commercial execution, routing non-standard pricing or terms through DealHub and the appropriate approval process. Maintain an accurate renewal forecast and provide evidence-based visibility into expected outcomes, churn and contraction exposure, timing risk, and bloc
