Customer Success Manager, Public Sector

About Us:

VanishID is the external identity security company. We stop the AI-powered attacks that use exposed identity information from the open and dark web to target executives, employees, and their families.

External identity data sits outside the perimeter, exposed and easy for AI agents to compile into a digital footprint. That's enough to impersonate people, socially engineer them, or find them at home. VanishID's agents hunt for the same exposure around the clock. We score that exposure and initiate compensating controls, closing the paths before an attack sequence starts.

VanishID is growing and we want you to join our mission to keep people and enterprises safe. We are adding a Customer Success Manager, Public Sector to our team who will drive value for our government customers from day one. This person will onboard, retain, and grow our public sector accounts, including state and local agencies, election offices, courts, and federal organizations, and serve as the trusted partner who guides each customer through deployment, adoption, and renewal. This role will report to the Head of Customer Success.

This is a unique opportunity to join us at this early stage where you will feel the impact of your work every day and have an open runway for growth. We are a remote-first company and are open to candidates throughout the United States. This role is not eligible for visa sponsorship.

What you will do in the Customer Success Manager, Public Sector role:

• Own onboarding end-to-end: Get new public sector customers live quickly, from kickoff through enrollment of elected officials, agency leaders, and staff. Make VanishID a trusted part of how they protect their people.

• Navigate the public sector: Work within government procurement, contracting, and fiscal-year budget cycles to keep renewals on track. Partner closely with our public sector sales lead from handoff through renewal, and coordinate with customer IT and security teams on technical setup, pulling in engineering when a problem needs a deeper hand.

• Drive adoption and retention: Monitor account health, catch risk early, and run the check-ins that keep customers seeing value.

• Present to executives: Lead Quarterly Business Reviews for your customers that show impact and set expectations on what comes next, and deliver 1:1 executive debriefs that help protect elected officials and senior public servants.

• Grow the account: Spot expansion opportunities as customer needs evolve and build the business case for additional protection tiers.

• Be the voice of the customer: Bring field insight back to our product team and help shape what we build next.

Characteristics we are looking for in a candidate (need to have):

• 3–5 years in Customer Success, Account Management, or a related client-facing role: You've carried customers from onboarding through renewal and expansion.

• Public sector experience: You have worked with or sold to state, local, or federal government organizations, and you understand public sector procurement, contracting, and fiscal-year budget cycles.

• Exceptional communication and presentation skills: You can confidently engage elected officials, agency leaders, and senior stakeholders in writing and in person.

• A balanced approach to customer success: You're equally comfortable building trust, running scalable onboarding and engagement processes, and finding room to grow an account.

• Proficiency with CRM platforms: You use Salesforce or HubSpot to keep your book of business accurate and current.

Characteristics we are looking for in a candidate (nice to have):

• Hands-on identity provider experience: Okta, Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD), or Ping, including SSO (SAML/OIDC), SCIM provisioning, attribute mapping, and sign-in troubleshooting.

• Comfort with REST APIs and webhooks: reading API documentation, testing endpoints in Postman, and common authentication methods like OAuth and API keys.

• Prior identity or IT admin background, or experience supporting technical integrations for customers.

• Experience in cybersecurity, privacy, or adjacent industries prioritized; experience in SaaS/B2B technology, financial services, healthcare, or professional services (legal, consulting) also considered.

• Active or prior U.S. government security clearance

• Relevant certifications such as PMP, CIPP, or CISSP

• Startup or small-team experience with a self-starter mentality

• Background serving executives and VIPs as customers with high-touch, white-glove service
