Level Access is seeking a Government Renewals Specialist who is passionate about building and maintaining strong, long-lasting customer relationships. Join our account management team and play a key role in ensuring the continued success and satisfaction of our government clients.
In this role, you’ll manage renewals and address client needs across state, local, and federal levels. An understanding of government procurement and contracting nuances is critical. Familiarity with FedRAMP is a plus, but not necessary, as this is a retention-focused role rather than a selling one.

- Take ownership, drive, and own the renewals process in collaboration with the account team.

- Identify customer requirements, uncover roadblocks, and demonstrate strong account management and commercial capabilities to ensure timely closure of renewals.
- Provide executive management with complete insight into renewals and solicit executive involvement as required.
- Accurately maintain/update a rolling 120-day forecast of renewals in your territory and ensure any uncovered risk is clearly communicated in order to develop resolution strategies.
- Follow and adhere to standard methodologies for all internal processes including Opportunity Management, Data Quality, Quoting, and Forecasting.
- Adopt new initiatives and programs proactively and act as a subject matter expert and mentor to other members of the extended team.
