Come talk with us! 

As a part of the Sumo Logic Customer Success team, you will be responsible for achieving timely renewals for our growth segment of customers.

Projects are underway to try and make renewals for SMB customers more automated,  which will eventually open up opportunities for you to work with larger Mid-Market or  Enterprise customers.

• Collaborate on identifying and minimizing Risk within our customer base
• Weekly collaboration with Accounts Managers.
• Close a renewal number of 78% to achieve 100% of your target.
• Work on closing at least 15 MYD in a Quarter. 
• Work on High ingesting accounts for the EMEA and North America region & assist the customers with potential upgrades & cross-sells. 
• Working 2 Quarters ahead of time. 
• Collaboration with the EMEA and North America team includes CSM managers, AE’s, PSM’s, CSEs & etc, on regular intervals.

• Familiarity with various tools like SFDC, Clari, Zuora and the reporting features it offers 
• Strong negotiation skills
