Job Title: Revenue Protection Manager

Role Overview
The Revenue Protection Manager is responsible for safeguarding Air IT’s recurring revenue by proactively identifying churn risk, strengthening contractual governance, and leading strategic initiatives designed to reduce customer attrition across the managed services portfolio.
