Role Summary

The Customer Success Manager (CSM) owns business & security outcomes, credit consumption health, and renewal and expansion readiness for a portfolio of enterprise customers. CSM acts as the customer’s security advisor and post-sales orchestrator, coordinating across Sales, CSTA, CSA, CSE, Support, Professional Services, and Partners. The role is accountable for turning purchased credits into measurable security outcomes through a clear Security Account Success Plan (ASP), defined burn curve, and consistent executive engagement cadence.

Key Responsibilities

Own the Security Account Success Plan (ASP) and Burn Curve

• Co-create a 90-day and 12-month Success Plan with customer executive sponsors, aligned to business objectives, security goals, prioritized workloads, and a monthly credit burn plan
• Track planned vs. actual consumption and outcomes; trigger corrective plays when variance exceeds defined thresholds

Drive Activation, Adoption, and Expansion

• Perform Security gap analysis and technology fingerprinting of the customer’s environment and security stack
• Ensure rapid Time-to-First-Credit or Value (TTFC/V) and delivery of a meaningful first security win
• Orchestrate workload rollouts (e.g., XDR, identity, email, cloud security) in partnership with CSTA, CSA, CSE, Professional Services, and partners
• Identify and execute expansion opportunities including credit top-ups, additional modules, and multi-year commitments based on realized value

Run Executive Cadence and Value Reviews

• Lead monthly value reviews, QBRs, and EBRs, linking telemetry, usage, and risk scoring to measurable risk reduction and business impact
• Conduct maturity model discussions using recognized industry security frameworks (MITRE, NIST) to assess current posture and define future-state uplift
• Orchestrate security workshops (e.g., threat hunting, CTFs, tabletop exercises) in collaboration with technical & security teams
• Prepare concise executive-ready narratives, PR/FAQ-style briefs, and C-level decks

Manage Risk, Renewal, and Advocacy

• Maintain renewal health (Green / Amber / Red) with clear actions, owners, and timelines
• Proactively run risk mitigation and build Get-well Plans for at-risk accounts
• Contribute to and leverage telemetry-driven risk intelligence and predictive health scoring models
• Convert successful customers into references, case studies, technical whitepapers

Act as the Single Post-Sales Point of Coordination

• Ensure “one plan, one intake” across Customer Success, Support, Professional Services, and partners
• Provide Product, Engineering, and Leadership with evidence-based insights on systemic adoption challenges and product gaps

Desired Skills

• Strong understanding of B2B SaaS and platform business models, preferably in cybersecurity, cloud, or infrastructure
• Ability to translate telemetry and usage data (credits, burn vs. plan, risk and health scores) into clear, actionable insights
• Hands-on experience with CS and GTM tooling (e.g., Gainsight, Planhat, Salesforce/Dynamics, analytics or BI dashboards)
• Strong written communication skills (executive briefs, QBR decks, 6-pagers, decision memos)
• Executive presence and confidence engaging with CISOs, security leadership, IT, and business sponsors
• Strong collaborator able to orchestrate cross-functional teams and partners without direct authority

Experience and Background

• Typically 7+ years in Customer Success, consulting, technical account management, or program leadership at an enterprise technology vendor or consultancy
• Proven track record managing enterprise accounts with measurable impact on retention, expansion, and customer outcomes
• Experience running QBRs/EBRs and executive-level discussions that connect technology to risk and business value
• Background in cybersecurity, cloud, or adjacent infrastructure strongly preferred
• Experience working with partners or MSPs is a plus
• Working knowledge of enterprise security domains (SOC operations, SIEM/XDR, exposure and risk management, identity, cloud, email security) sufficient to be credible with security leaders
