Own the finance and analytics leadership for a multi-billion-dollar renewals business — one of the most important drivers of durable growth in Crowd Strike's SaaS business. Joining a fast-paced GTM Finance team, you'll be the subject matter expert for all things renewals: forecasting, reporting, and churn and contraction analysis, building the models and analyses that inform decisions by Crowd Strike's senior management team and support the company-wide planning process.

This is a high-visibility individual contributor role for someone who has already supported or managed a renewals business and wants to own a business, not just report on it.

• Apply AI to scale your impact — use AI/LLM tools and predictive techniques to accelerate analysis, mine unstructured inputs (renewal notes, CRM commentary, support and win/loss data) for churn signal, build propensity-to-renew and at-risk scoring, and automate recurring reporting and variance commentary.
• Turn insight into action — size the addressable portion of churn, recommend targeted retention plays with expected ARR recovery, and measure realized impact.
• Business partner — pressure-test pipeline coverage and capacity assumptions with sales leaders; support Deal Desk on complex renewal structures, pricing, uplift, and multi-year/co-term strategy; provide inputs to…
