Technical Customer Success Manager

About Opal Security:

At Opal, we’re building modern identity governance for the AI era - intelligent access management that empowers enterprises to move fast while staying secure. Our mission is to bring clarity, control, and confidence to complex enterprise environments, helping teams govern access without slowing down innovation.

The Role:

Opal is at an inflection point, and we need someone to help us nail what comes after the customer says "yes."

We're looking for a technical-minded person who can take our post-sales motion from good to exceptional. This is your chance to re-architect customer success with the freedom to make it yours. You'll follow a player-coach model: rolling up your sleeves with customers while building the foundation for a world-class team that scales with us.

What You’ll Do:

• Embody the team that customers rave about: you’ll rebuild our customer success practices, establishing the processes, metrics, and culture that turn good relationships into great outcomes.

• Be the first line of technical defense: when customers hit a snag, you're who they call. You'll troubleshoot integrations, diagnose configuration issues, and resolve problems on the spot and know exactly when to escalate to engineering for the complex stuff.

• Own the health of our customer base: renewals, retention, and proactive engagement all fall under your scope. You'll develop the frameworks and leading indicators that help us spot opportunities (and risks) before they become obvious, ensuring customers extract maximum value from Opal Security at every stage of their journey.

• Be the bridge between customers and product: you'll partner closely with our product and engineering teams to champion customer needs, influence what we build next, and ensure we're delivering real value, beyond just features. Your voice will truly shape our roadmap.

• Guide customers from onboarding to advocacy: you'll manage strategic relationships across our diverse customer base, from Fortune 500 enterprises to cutting-edge AI startups like Runway and Perplexity, serving as their trusted advisor on access management and security. These aren't transactional relationships; they're trusted and secure partnerships.

You Might Be a Fit If You:

• You've been in the trenches, know what great looks like, and lead with customer empathy: you bring 6+ years in customer success, account management, or solutions engineering, with a track record of driving real outcomes at scale. You've seen what works and, more importantly, what doesn't, and you can translate that into frameworks that others can follow. And always, you feel for your customers

• You thrive in, or are intrigued by, the fun, crazy thrill of startups: you've worked at a Series A-C company and know how to build scalable processes while everything around you is moving fast and ever-changing. You're not paralyzed by ambiguity, you lean into it and create clarity for others

• Its OKAY if you haven’t worked early stage but you gotta want it!
