We’re looking for an experienced, customer-obsessed Senior Customer Success Manager (CSM) to join our growing team. In this role, you’ll become a trusted advisor to our enterprise customers—guiding them from onboarding through adoption and expansion, and ensuring they realize maximum value from the Valence platform.

You’ll work cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, and Sales to support customer goals, advocate for their needs internally, and uncover opportunities for account growth and retention. This is a strategic, hands-on role for someone excited to shape the customer experience at a high-growth cybersecurity startup.

What You’ll Do

• Own customer relationships end-to-end, from onboarding through ongoing engagement, adoption, and retention.
• Drive customer outcomes by aligning Valence capabilities to key business objectives and security initiatives.
• Lead Executive Business Reviews (EBRs) with senior stakeholders, showcasing impact, sharing insights, and identifying expansion opportunities.
• Promote adoption of key features, ensuring customers are using Valence to its fullest potential.
• Customize platform configurations—including policies, workflows, and integrations—to meet customer-specific needs.
• Act as the voice of the customer, collaborating with Product and Engineering to influence roadmap priorities based on customer feedback.
• Collaborate with Sales on renewals, upsell, and expansion strategies. You’ll drive the process, while the Account Executive owns the commercial motion.
• Monitor customer health and proactively identify and resolve challenges that could impact satisfaction or retention.

What You Bring

• 5+ years of experience in Customer Success, Account Management, or Solutions roles within SaaS; experience in cloud security or cybersecurity is a big plus.
• Proven success managing enterprise or strategic accounts, including executive engagement and multi-stakeholder management.
• Strong technical aptitude—you’re comfortable discussing product configuration, integrations, and security workflows.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills—you know how to influence, educate, and inspire both technical users and C-level leaders.
• Highly organized and detail-oriented; you excel at managing multiple priorities and keeping projects on track.
• Passionate about delivering value and solving problems creatively.

Why Join Valence?

• Be part of a mission-driven company tackling one of today’s most urgent security challenges.
• Work with a passionate, supportive, and globally distributed team.
• Shape the future of our Customer Success function as we scale.
• Backed by world-class investors and trusted by leading enterprises.
