Consistently named one of the top D.C. start-ups to watch since 2016, Quorum is software built for public affairs. Thousands of public affairs professionals use Quorum for their work in Congress, all 50 state legislatures, major U.S. cities, and the European Union. Quorum is 100% bootstrapped—meaning we have never raised venture capital funding—and works with organizations like Coca-Cola, the United Nations Foundation, Sierra Club, General Motors, and Lyft.

As a Renewal Specialist, you will contribute to the overall growth of the company by leading the renewal process for a portfolio of 200-300 clients. You will work closely with Quorum’s Customer Success Managers to understand your clients’ history with the product and build a strategy to ensure each client’s renewal.  

This a quota carrying role and includes responsibility for certain kinds of product upsell.

What You'll Do

• First Week: You'll learn the history of Quorum, get introduced to colleagues inside the Customer Success team and start learning our culture. You will be introduced to your onboarding mentor, who will be responsible for ensuring your onboarding success. You will also be introduced to the Renewals Playbook along with other relevant sales systems and assets (Salesforce, etc). Finally, your manager will outline expectations for renewal and upsell performance over your first 12 months.  
• First Month: You will participate in renewal sales training to build a baseline understanding of Quorum’s products, primary value propositions and use cases, and buyer personas.  During this time you will gain an intimate knowledge of the Quorum’s renewal process and begin reviewing the pipeline of renewals in your portfolio.  You may also shadow product demos and Customer Success CS- led trainings to gain a better understanding of how clients expect to use Quorum’s tools.  
• First Six Months: After successfully completing sales onboarding, you will assume full ownership of renewals and year-over-year upsells of clients within your portfolio. You will follow the Quorum renewals process and be able to communicate risks and likelihood of renewal of your clients during weekly pipeline renews with your manager.  
• First Year: You will demonstrate Quorum’s renewal process and achieve annual renewal and year-over-year upsell quotas. Success in the role requires proving yourself a partner both to the customer success management team and to Quorum’s clients.
