Responsibilities

As a Customer Retention Specialist for the Japan market, you will play a pivotal role in supporting our subscription business model by proactively managing customer relationships at the point of renewal. You will work directly with existing customers to re-confirm their needs, address concerns, and guide them through the renewal process – ensuring continued satisfaction and long-term retention.

• This role is ideal for someone with excellent communication skills, customer-first mindset, and a strong commercial acumen. You'll collaborate closely with cross-functional teams including Sales, Customer Support, and Finance.

• Re-establish and confirm customer needs: Proactively engage with customers approaching subscription renewal to revisit their current setup, understand how they’re using TeamViewer solutions, and ensure those solutions still align with their business goals.

• Handle renewal-related inquiries: Respond promptly and professionally to inbound customer queries via phone and email, covering topics such as contract terms, billing, subscription plans, and product capabilities.

• Conduct customer needs analysis and solution mapping: Take a consultative approach to explore customers’ evolving business requirements. Identify opportunities for additional value through upgraded plans, complementary products, or improved license structures.

• Support data-driven decision-making: Collaborate with the broader retention team to gather structured feedback from customers. Identify common concerns, reasons for churn, and opportunities to enhance customer satisfaction.

• Assist with strategy development and execution: Contribute to the design and roll-out of targeted retention strategies tailored to specific customer segments (e.g. by industry, size, or product usage level). This includes participating in testing new messaging, pricing models, or engagement approaches.

• Accurate CRM management: Maintain up-to-date customer records, renewal statuses, feedback, and activity notes in Microsoft 365 or other CRM tools to support accurate forecasting and reporting.

• Cross-functional collaboration: Work closely with Customer Success Managers, Sales, and Support teams to coordinate renewal efforts and ensure customers receive a cohesive experience throughout their journey.

Meet and exceed KPIs: Take ownership of personal and team renewal targets, contributing to overall retention goals for the Japan region.
