Why this job is exciting

You'll play a meaningful role on a small, high-performing Customer Success team at a pivotal moment. As a CSM at Sourcegraph, you'll manage a book of 15-20 enterprise accounts, helping developers get real, measurable value out of our products. You'll own the post-sales relationship end to end, driving adoption, surfacing risk, and getting customers healthy for renewal and expansion.

This isn't a passive relationship management role. You'll be in the product, analyzing telemetry and adoption patterns, leading enablement sessions, driving strategic customer conversations, and partnering closely with Named AEs and Field Engineers to expand customer value over time. Sourcegraph is also at an exciting inflection point as we evolve from a seats-based model toward more consumption and workflow-oriented adoption, making the CSM's impact on customer outcomes more tangible than ever.

📅 Within one month, you will…

Build relationships with your team, Named AEs, and Field Engineering counterparts
Learn our product, value proposition, customers, and internal processes
Shadow customer calls to understand how our enterprise and commercial customers use Sourcegraph
Begin taking over your first accounts and establishing yourself as a trusted point of contact

📅 Within three months, you will…

Own regular customer cadences, developing a strong understanding of customer workflows, use cases, and business priorities
Build value narratives and monitor adoption health signals across your book of business
Identify customers requiring additional enablement, executive alignment, or risk mitigation, and prioritize accordingly
Independently lead product trainings, workflow discussions, and enablement sessions without relying on Field Engineering for standard engagements
Partner with Named AEs on renewals, expansion opportunities, and strategic account planning
Begin identifying opportunities to expand adoption across additional teams, workflows, and use cases through multithreading and deeper stakeholder engagement

📅 Within six months, you will…

Lead strategic conversations with technical and executive stakeholders, helping customers connect Sourcegraph adoption, AI-assisted workflows, and broader platform usage to measurable engineering and business outcomes
Drive broader adoption across your accounts, increasing usage of Deep Search, MCP, and consumption-based capabilities
Serve as the voice of your customers internally, partnering with EPD, PMM, Support, and Sales to influence product direction and customer strategy
Build strong multithreaded relationships across engineering, platform, security, and executive stakeholders within your accounts
Run internal business reviews and customer-facing QBRs with clear value narratives, measurable outcomes, and documented KPIs
Participate in onsite engagements and strategic customer discussions

About you

You're tech-curious, customer-oriented, and comfortable operating with a high degree of autonomy. You can manage a book of 15-20 accounts, assess customer signals and business context, prioritize effectively, and independently determine where to focus your time and attention.

You are genuinely interested in developer tooling and the problems engineering teams are trying to solve. You don’t need to write production code, but you should understand developer workflows, how technical teams evaluate tooling, and how to guide customers toward meaningful adoption and value realization. Leading product trainings, workflow discussions, and enablement sessions without relying on a Field Engineer for standard engagements should feel comfortable, not intimidating.

You are analytical, commercially minded, and communicate effectively across audiences. You can interpret telemetry, adoption patterns, and customer health signals to identify risks, opportunities, and expansion potential. You’re comfortable engaging with developers, engineering leadership, and executive stakeholders, and can lead value-driven conversations that connect platform adoption to measurable engineering and business outcomes.

You know how to build momentum within complex accounts by multithreading relationships, identifying new use cases, and aligning customer goals to broader platform strategy. You’re proactive, adaptable, and comfortable operating in ambiguity.

You are curious about AI-assisted workflows and how they are changing developer productivity and customer expectations. You’ve explored AI tools beyond passive usage through workflows, experimentation, automation, or solving real operational problems, and you have perspectives on how AI may change how customers evaluate value over time.

You are coachable and continuously improving. You absorb feedback quickly, refine your approach, and continue growing your ability to lead strategic customer conversations and executive engagements.

Required:

Customer-facing experience (CSM, account management, account coordination, technical support, solutions consulting, or similar; the title matters less than the experience)
Prior experience in a technical SaaS environment
Demonstrated comfort presenting to customers or technical audiences
Strong communication, prioritization, and stakeholder management skills

Nice to have:

Background in developer tooling, observability, infrastructure, or adjacent technical products
Experience working with a large, varied book of business
CS, engineering, or technical undergraduate background
