Job Description

Customer Success Manager

KION Group

• Carry a direct book of named, high-value accounts — including Federal customers and priority enterprise clients — as a hands-on post-sales owner, not a manager removed from the work • Serve as the executive-level point of contact for key stakeholders within Federal agencies, system integrators, contractors, and government-adjacent organizations — building and maintaining trusted relationships at both operational and executive levels • Develop and maintain account success plans that align customer goals with product adoption milestones and measurable renewal outcomes • Own the renewal motion for your accounts with full pipeline accountability — including forecast accuracy, risk identification, and executive escalation when needed • Navigate the unique compliance, contracting, and stakeholder complexity of regulated and Federal environments as a practitioner, not just a manager • Directly manage Technical Account Managers, dedicated client TDMs, and future post-sales hires as the team grows — acting as the management layer between ICs and the CCO • Establish a consistent post-sales operating cadence: QBRs, health scoring, renewal forecasting, escalation protocols, and customer onboarding handoff standards • Create, document, and continuously improve the post-sales playbook — turning what works in individual accounts into repeatable, scalable processes across the team • Coach, develop, and retain ICs through regular 1:1s, career pathing conversations, and real-time deal coaching on their most complex accounts • Hire and onboard future post-sales team members as the portfolio expands to new named accounts • Partner closely with Account Executives to ensure clean handoffs, shared account strategy, and full AE focus on net-new business — not renewals or ongoing customer management • Collaborate with Technical Account Managers to align technical enablement, platform adoption, and issue resolution with broader customer success goals • Serve as the authoritative voice of the customer internally — translating field intelligence into actionable product, engineering, and leadership feedback • Provide CCO-level visibility into portfolio health, renewal pipeline, risk flags, and team capacity through regular reporting and executive updates • Support pre-sales positioning on strategic deals where post-sales credibility and Federal account expertise are a competitive differentiator

Job Requirements

  • 7+ years of experience in Customer Success, Strategic Account Management, or Post-Sales leadership in a B2B SaaS environment
  • Prior people management experience — you have built or led a CS or TAM team, not just been an IC
  • Experience supporting U.S. Federal customers, including DoD or civilian agencies — you understand contracting cycles, compliance constraints, and multi-stakeholder federal environments
  • Demonstrated ability to manage a personal book of strategic accounts while simultaneously managing a team (true player-coach experience)
  • Strong renewal ownership track record — you run renewals as a business motion, with pipeline hygiene, forecast accountability, and documented risk mitigation
  • Experience in cloud, security, infrastructure, FinOps, or governance-related software
  • Comfortable operating at executive level internally and externally — you can present to a CCO and a federal CIO in the same week.

Benefits

  • Remote-first culture: Work anywhere in the U.S. with flexible hours.
  • Inclusive environment: We value diverse perspectives and believe great ideas come from everywhere.
  • Excellent compensation and high-quality benefits: including multiple medical plan options to fit your needs and budget, Unlimited PTO, and 3% of direct compensation contribution to your 401(k) (no match required).
  • Growth opportunities: Build cutting-edge cloud solutions with room to explore new technologies and career paths.
  • Mission-driven work: Help organizations simplify and secure their cloud operations at scale.
