About this role
ZipRecruiter is looking for a Retention Specialist to work with customers who are considering canceling their accounts. You'll conduct discovery calls to understand why they're leaving, then develop and propose solutions to keep their business—or at minimum, leave them satisfied enough to return later. The role involves handling cancellation requests via phone and email, highlighting product features like ZipHire and TrafficBoost, and consistently meeting retention targets that directly impact revenue.
This position suits someone with two to five years in sales, account management, customer service, or client support, ideally with B2B experience. You'll need comfort with MS Office, genuine problem-solving skills, and the ability to turn frustrated customers into advocates. The hybrid setup is based in Phoenix but allows remote work for most US positions. The compensation is $15.39 per hour plus commission, with a standard benefits package including health coverage, 401(k) matching, and flexible PTO.
