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.
