Position Overview

Why This Role Matters
This role is intended to address a meaningful source of avoidable churn by proactively engaging customers before suspension or cancellation occurs. Early results from targeted outreach efforts showed that a significant portion of non-pay churn risk stems from solvable billing friction rather than true customer intent to cancel, making this a high-impact role for revenue protection and customer retention.
