Job description

VTS is looking for a Renewals Manager to join our New York office and take ownership of a core part of our business: retaining the revenue that supports our long-term growth. You’ll manage a book of business, while working closely with Client Success, Sales, RevOps, and Product - turning the value customers see in VTS into multi-year commitments through a clear, process-driven approach. The role offers real ownership, direct visibility into company performance, and the chance to work with leading owners, operators, and brokers. We’re looking for someone who is self-motivated and coachable with a proven record in applying AI to their daily routine. If that sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you!

To thrive in this role, you are commercially driven, highly accountable, process-driven, and relentless about revenue preservation and growth. You take pride in structured negotiations and hold yourself to exceptional standards in pipeline hygiene and contract execution. You are a natural collaborator who aligns cross-functional partners across Customer Success, Sales, Legal, and Finance to engineer win-win renewal strategies. Above all, you possess an innate curiosity about commercial real estate, using customer insights and market dynamics, augmented by applying AI to your daily routine to protect and expand client relationships.
