About this role
Sonatype is privileged to work with customers who rely on us to improve the quality, security, and speed of their software development lifecycle. The Federal Customer Success Manager (CSM) is the strategic post-sales advisor responsible for helping federal customers realize measurable value from their investment in Sonatype by driving adoption, retention, growth, and long-term customer advocacy.
Federal agencies rely on Sonatype to secure and accelerate software delivery for mission-critical applications. As a Federal CSM, you'll work with organizations modernizing how the government builds software, helping technical teams adopt practices that improve security, developer productivity, and software supply chain resilience.
As a Federal Customer Success Manager (CSM), you will manage a portfolio primarily consisting of U.S. government customers with select State, Local, and Education customers through a scaled engagement model, using customer health, product usage, and lifecycle milestones to prioritize proactive engagement.
Your goal is to accelerate time-to-value, drive adoption and measurable outcomes, increase renewal confidence, and surface growth opportunities in partnership with the broader Sonatype account team, including Sales, Product, Engineering, and Marketing teams.
This role is not intended to be reactive “shadow support.” You will be expected to deliver proactive, outcomes-driven guidance, disciplined execution, and consistent customer leadership, while knowing when to pull in deeper subject-matter expertise as needed.
A defining expectation of this role is the use of GenAI as a regular part of your workflow. You are expected to use GenAI tools as a thought partner to improve the quality, clarity, and strategic rigor of your analysis, planning, and communication, while validating outputs and applying sound judgment.
