Customer Success Manager

About Bitfocus

At Bitfocus, our mission is simple but ambitious: help end homelessness. We do that by building and supporting Clarity Human Services, the technology that powers communities across the country in their work to connect people experiencing homelessness with the resources they need. We're a team that leads with care, innovates with insider knowledge, and believes deeply in the power of community. We take pride in what we build, support one another through hard problems, and embrace smart risks in service of meaningful impact. If you're someone who wants your work to matter and wants to grow alongside a team that's genuinely committed to getting this right, we'd love to have you. We know strong candidates don't always look the same on paper. If you're excited about this role and believe you have what it takes, we'd love to hear from you; we're building a team that reflects the communities we serve. About the role

As Customer Success Manager, you'll lead a team of three Account Managers, owning team performance, customer lifecycle management, and the delivery of exceptional service across our customer base. Central to this role is building deep, strategic relationships with customers; positioning Bitfocus not merely as an HMIS vendor, but as a trusted partner in advancing their mission to address homelessness. You'll play a key role in elevating Bitfocus's reputation and influence in the field by making sure customers are supported, successful, and engaged as long-term partners. This role sits on our Customer Success career track, with room to grow into a greater scope as you build your team and your track record. About the Customer Success team

Bitfocus is an equal opportunity employer. We don't tolerate discrimination on the basis of gender, age, sexual orientation, race, nationality, ethnicity, religion, disability, or veteran status. We hire and promote based on skills, experience, and potential, and we work to reduce bias at every stage of our process, including through structured interviews. We're also committed to providing reasonable accommodations for candidates with disabilities throughout the hiring process. A note on AI use during hiring

We know candidates use AI tools to help prepare applications, and that's okay — we'd just ask that what you submit and say in interviews reflects your own understanding and experience. On our end, a human is always involved in reviewing your application and making hiring decisions; AI may support parts of our process, but it doesn't replace our judgment about who you are and whether this is a good fit.

Bitfocus will never ask you for payment, banking details, or sensitive personal financial information as part of our hiring process.
