About The Position

Telestream is seeking a senior commercial leader to own the retention and expansion of our global installed customer base — a portfolio that spans SaaS, subscription, and on-premises software customers. This is a high-impact role with direct revenue accountability, executive-level customer engagement, and the opportunity to shape how Telestream serves and grows its relationships with some of the world’s most recognized media and broadcast organizations. The VP, Customer Loyalty will lead our Renewals and expansion team across both SaaS and on-premises customers, owning the full post-sale revenue motion — from initial renewal through long-term customer expansion. This is a build role. This leader will inherit a capable team and strong operational foundation, and will be expected to add the commercial leadership, customer engagement strategy, and organizational structure to take that foundation to the next level. The function is central to Telestream’s growth strategy, and the right leader will leave a clear mark on how we serve and grow our installed base. The right candidate has done this before — built a post-sale function, owned revenue targets, and earned the trust of customers at the highest levels. They are energized by the opportunity to shape something, not just manage it. Telestream’s customer base includes some of the most prominent names in media, broadcast, and streaming — global broadcasters, post-production houses, sports networks, and streaming platforms that rely on our technology for mission-critical workflows. These are long-tenured relationships with significant contractual and strategic value. This leader will have a clear mandate, executive support, and the organizational runway to build something that matters. It's important to note that this role has revenue ownership! Reporting into the Sales Organization means that you own the numbers and will have significant influence on retention and expansion.
