About your team and mission:

GitGuardian is experiencing significant growth in our customer base. To deliver best-in-class customer service and ensure our clients receive maximum value from GitGuardian's solutions, we're expanding our Customer Success team.

As a Customer Success Manager, you'll serve as the trusted, day-to-day advisor to a portfolio of large enterprise customers: Fortune 500 and other top-tier global organizations, including some of the world's largest companies. You will act as the single accountable owner for onboarding, adoption, and ongoing success. You will manage a global book of business of approximately 20 customers, or representing roughly $5M in ARR.

Your mission will be to maximize customer outcomes by driving measurable maturity improvements: from integration completion to embedded workflows and remediation excellence, all while orchestrating internal resources to remove blockers and create sustainable value.
Your Mission:

• Lead customer onboarding and proactively drive adoption through structured success plans aligned to GitGuardian's maturity framework.
• Run recurring cadence meetings with enterprise stakeholders (security leaders, engineering teams, admins, and executives) to track progress, identify risks, and accelerate value realization.
• Build and maintain stakeholder maps, ensuring multi-threaded relationships and proactive expectation-setting across the customer organization.
• Translate customer needs into actionable internal requests, coordinating with Sales, Support, and Product teams to ensure seamless resolution.
• Monitor adoption metrics and health signals to identify expansion opportunities and flag churn risks early, working with Sales on commercial next steps.
• Deliver Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs) that demonstrate measurable outcomes and align on strategic priorities.
• Create scalable and clear documentation: success plans, onboarding timelines, enablement materials, and structured product feedback, all to improve our customer journey.
• Maintain exceptional responsiveness with clear written follow-ups; ensuring your customers always know what happens next.

Important note: Your role focuses on adoption and outcomes, not pricing or contract negotiations. You'll protect the customer relationship while partnering closely with Sales on any commercial discussions.

Who You Are:

Here's what we consider essential for success in this role:

• Proven experience as a Customer Success Manager in large Enterprise B2B SaaS, successfully managing complex customers who have multi-year agreements and multiple internal user groups.
• You have built adoption plans, aligned stakeholders, proved ROI, and improved retention & renewal outcomes.
• Deep understanding of CSM core motions: onboarding, success planning, health/risk management, and cadence/QBR execution.
• You have strong enterprise stakeholder management skills: you can build stakeholder maps, identify engagement gaps, and navigate complex organizational Enterprise dynamics.
• Excellent customer empathy and active listening: you use discovery-style questioning to understand customer goals and confirm priorities before proposing solutions.
• You have a customer-first mindset with the ability to prioritize customer experience over rigid processes when needed, all while maintaining internal alignment.
• Project management fundamentals: you can run lightweight plans with milestones, owners, dates, and risks while keeping cross-functional teams aligned.

The following skills would strengthen your application but aren't required:

• Technical literacy with integrations and dev/security workflows (SSO, SCIM, APIs, webhooks).
• Experience working with DevSecOps personas-security teams, engineering leaders, and platform/tooling teams.
• Change management or enablement experience: building rollout plans, training programs, and adoption strategies.
