A NOTE ON HOW TO REACH US
We're truly grateful that so many people have Foundant on their radar — it means a lot that our work resonates with others. That said, due to the high volume of direct messages and emails we receive, cold outreach isn't the preferred way to be considered for a role, and we're not able to prioritize applications submitted this way. To apply for open positions, please visit our careers page, which is the fastest and most effective route to being considered.

We serve the giving community worldwide with a comprehensive suite of solutions spanning grant management, community foundation software, and giving analytics.
We're a unified company shaped by strong roots across our product portfolio, and we operate with intention and purpose. Our team of ~350 people across six countries is connected by a shared North Star: to be the trusted partner and strategic advisor to the communities we serve.

What You’ll Do:
- You'll build and maintain strong, trusted relationships with clients across our portfolio, serving as a strategic advisor and advocate — because renewals are built on relationships, not just contracts
- You'll own the renewal process end to end and proactively identify upsell and cross-sell opportunities aligned with client goals and product capabilities
- You'll track and assess client engagement, satisfaction, and usage metrics to ensure high retention and get ahead of churn risk
- You'll partner closely with Customer Success to align on client needs, share feedback, and coordinate efforts that drive client success — because we do more good when we work together
- You'll develop account plans for key clients, outlining growth strategies, risk mitigation, and engagement tactics
- You'll maintain a deep understanding of Foundant, GivingData, and SmartSimple offerings so you can guide clients toward the solutions and outcomes that matter most to their mission

- Familiarity with CRM tools (e.g., Salesforce) and customer success platforms
- Must be legally eligible to work in Canada or the United States
Preferred:
- Experience in the nonprofit, philanthropic, or government sectors
- Understanding of SaaS metrics and client health scoring
What You’ll Bring to our Team Dynamics:

- Productive Collaboration: Builds trusted, cross-functional relationships with Customer Success and other internal teams to keep client outcomes aligned, because we do more good together
- Service Orientation: Anticipates client needs before renewal conversations happen, understanding that a client's success is what makes the relationship — and the business — sustainable
- Business Insight: Understands how Foundant, GivingData, and SmartSimple solutions drive measurable outcomes for organizations in the philanthropic and social good sector, and uses that knowledge to identify genuine upsell and cross-sell opportunities
