Human Interest is on a mission to ensure that people in all lines of work have access to retirement benefits.
More than half of all working Americans are not saving enough for their future. Too often, it's because they are employed by a company that doesn't offer a retirement plan. Human Interest is changing that by making it affordable and accessible for small and medium-sized businesses to offer employees a path to financial independence through retirement savings.
We're a high-growth fintech company changing the retirement industry. We are backed by a number of investors. This includes funding from Marshall Wace and Baillie Gifford, as well as top investors such as BlackRock, TPG (The Rise Fund), SoftBank, Glynn Capital, NewView Capital, USVP, Wing, Uncork, and more.

Collaborating closely with the Sr. Director, Customer Retention, who defines the overarching strategy, you turn strategic direction into everyday operational execution for the team. While you will directly lead high-stakes and sensitive save opportunities, your core responsibility is empowering and maximizing the overall effectiveness of your team.

Tips for Your Retention Manager Job Search
Quantify churn reduction on your resume
Retention managers are hired on outcomes, so your resume needs to show measurable impact. Replace vague phrases like 'improved retention' with specific results: the cohort size, the timeframe, and the percentage or revenue change you drove.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists retention manager openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Tailor your application to the customer base
A retention manager role at a B2B SaaS company and one at a consumer subscription brand require different emphasis. Read the job description carefully and mirror the customer segment, contract size, or lifecycle stage the employer actually manages.
Demonstrate proficiency with CRM and analytics tools
Hiring managers for retention roles check for hands-on experience with CRM platforms and product analytics tools. Name the specific systems you've used in your resume and be ready to discuss how you built segments, triggered campaigns, or pulled cohort reports.
Prepare a cancellation-flow walkthrough for interviews
Many retention interviews include a live case where you redesign a cancellation or offboarding experience. Practice walking through your reasoning out loud, covering the customer motivation, the intervention point, and how you'd measure whether the change worked.
Negotiate using total contract value you've protected
When discussing compensation, frame your leverage around the revenue at risk you managed. If you've owned accounts or cohorts worth a defined dollar amount, that context makes your salary ask concrete and directly tied to business impact.
Retention Manager Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most retention managers?
The companies hiring the most retention managers right now include Rippling, DoorDash, and Block, with the largest share of openings in California, New York, and Texas, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Demand is especially concentrated in subscription-based businesses across SaaS, financial services, and telecom.
How many retention manager jobs are remote?
About 90% of retention manager openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the digital nature of most retention workflows. Roles focused on digital lifecycle campaigns and CRM management tend to be the most remote-friendly, while positions tied to in-person account teams or call center operations more often require on-site presence.
How do you become a retention manager?
Start in a customer-facing role such as customer success, account management, or support, where you build direct experience handling at-risk and churning customers. From there, move into owning a retention metric, whether churn rate, renewal rate, or save rate, so you have measurable outcomes to show. Developing skills in CRM management, cohort analysis, and lifecycle email strategy will accelerate the path to a dedicated retention manager title.
Can you get hired as a retention manager with little experience?
Yes, some companies hire retention managers at an associate or analyst level with one to two years in customer success or support. The key is demonstrating that you've owned a retention-related outcome, even informally. Candidates who can describe how they identified at-risk customers, what intervention they ran, and what happened to the renewal or cancellation rate stand out against applicants with more tenure but no measurable results.
What does the retention manager interview process look like?
Most retention manager interviews follow three to four stages. An initial screening call covers your background and experience with churn or renewal metrics. A hiring manager interview goes deeper into how you've diagnosed retention problems and built programs around them. Many companies then assign a case study or take-home where you redesign a cancellation flow or build a save strategy. Final rounds typically include a presentation to a cross-functional panel from product, marketing, or customer success.
Where can I find and apply to retention manager jobs?
You can find and apply to retention manager jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search the roles available, find the ones that match your background and preferences, and apply directly to each listing that fits.
