Customer Success Manager, PubSector - DC

Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs

Customer Success roles remain central to SaaS economics, and this one sits squarely in the post sale value cycle where retention and expansion are won. PagerDuty operates in operationally critical software, so customer outcomes tend to be measurable and tied to reliability and response workflows. The remit spans adoption, health, and executive alignment, reflecting how mature SaaS companies formalise lifecycle management beyond onboarding.

For a SaaS career path, the role builds durable expertise in running a book of business against metrics like GRR, translating product usage into business impact, and coordinating across Sales, Renewals, and Product. Experience leading QBRs and success plans is highly portable across B2B SaaS, particularly where multi stakeholder accounts and complex implementations are common. The Land Realize Expand framing also provides a clear operating model that can be reused in future CS leadership roles.

This position suits a CSM who prefers structured account management, proactive risk identification, and data informed customer engagement. It will appeal to professionals comfortable working across technical and executive audiences and who enjoy partnering internally rather than operating in isolation. A remote setup also fits someone who can maintain cadence and stakeholder trust through disciplined communication.
