Likely interview questions for this role

Written from this job description, not a generic list. Each one notes what the interviewer is really checking.

Behavioral

Walk me through how you managed a portfolio of renewal contracts in a past role. How far out did you start working an account before it expired?

whether the candidate has a real, repeatable process for a high-volume book of renewals rather than reactive habits

Tell me about a renewal that was at real risk of churning. What did you do, and how did it turn out?

how they identify risk early and whether they can actually save revenue, not just report the problem

Tell me about a time you spotted an upsell opportunity in the middle of a renewal conversation. How did you bring it up without derailing the renewal itself?

ability to expand revenue without jeopardizing the base contract, a core tension in this role

Tell me about a renewal where the Account Executive or Customer Success Manager had a different read on the customer relationship than you did. How did you handle that?

how they navigate the handoffs and shared ownership between renewals, sales, and customer success

Tell me about a time your renewal forecast turned out to be wrong. What did you miss, and what did you change afterward?

self-awareness and whether they learn from forecasting misses instead of just explaining them away

Technical

How do you explain the difference between ARR and one-time revenue to someone who isn't in finance, and why does that distinction matter for how you prioritize your pipeline?

whether they actually understand the recurring-revenue math behind renewals, not just sales jargon

How do you build and keep a forecast of your renewal pipeline accurate enough that leadership can trust the churn and retention numbers you're reporting?

discipline with CRM data and honesty in forecasting, since the posting stresses 'high-integrity forecasts'

What do you know about how public safety agencies budget and approve software renewals, and how does that change your timing or approach compared to a typical commercial SaaS customer?

whether they understand the specific buyer they're dealing with in CCSW, not generic SaaS knowledge

Situational

A customer's contract renews in four months but they're also up for renewal on two other Motorola products at different times. How would you think about coterminous alignment or multi-year price locking here?

practical grasp of the specific renewal levers named in the posting and whether they can apply them, not just define them

A customer pushes back hard on a price increase at renewal time and threatens to shop competitors. What do you actually say to them?

negotiation instincts and composure under pressure, and whether they lead with value or cave on price

You're managing 150-plus renewals at once and three of them are expiring the same week with conflicting customer availability. How do you decide what gets your attention first?

prioritization and time management under the high-volume conditions the role describes

How would you explain the value of Motorola's integrated command center workflow to a customer who says they only use one piece of it and want to cut costs by dropping the rest?

ability to articulate product value and defend the full contract rather than just processing a downgrade
