At Corelight, Customer Success is a strategic driver of customer value, retention, and growth. We're looking for a Federal Customer Success Manager who understands the unique needs of government customers and can connect our cybersecurity solutions to measurable security and mission outcomes. As a Customer Success Manager, you'll serve as the primary post-sales relationship owner for a portfolio of U.S. Federal customers. You'll build trusted relationships with agency leadership, cybersecurity teams, and mission stakeholders to ensure customers realize measurable value from their investment in Corelight.

This is an individual contributor role for someone who combines federal market expertise, commercial acumen, and cybersecurity knowledge. You'll help government customers achieve their security objectives while proactively managing risk, driving renewals, and identifying opportunities for growth.

- Build strategic government relationships. Establish trusted relationships with agency leadership, executive sponsors, security operations teams, and mission stakeholders, aligning Corelight's solutions with their cybersecurity priorities.
- Demonstrate and validate customer value. Develop Mutual Success Plans, establish measurable success criteria, and demonstrate realized value through Executive Business Reviews (EBRs) and ongoing engagement with government stakeholders.
- Drive renewals and identify growth opportunities. Proactively manage renewal readiness, navigate federal procurement and funding considerations, and partner with Federal Sales and channel partners to identify expansion opportunities.
- Anticipate and mitigate customer risk. Use customer health metrics, adoption signals, stakeholder engagement, and contract timelines to identify risks early and execute plans that protect customer relationships and revenue.
- Lead cross-functional account strategy. Partner with Technical Account Managers, Professional Services, Support, Federal Sales, and Product to deliver a coordinated customer experience with clear ownership throughout the customer lifecycle.
- Turn customer insights into action. Represent the voice of federal customers internally, translating mission requirements, security priorities, and emerging needs into actionable recommendations that improve customer outcomes.
- Drive operational excellence. Maintain accurate customer success plans, stakeholder maps, health assessments, and account strategies while using customer success platforms, data, and AI-enabled tools to improve efficiency and effectiveness.
### What You'll Bring

- 3+ years of experience in Customer Success, Strategic Account Management, or a related customer-facing role within enterprise SaaS, cybersecurity, or complex technology environments.
