The Customer Success Team

The Customer Success (CS) team is the linchpin that connects our clients, product, and delivery functions. We own full project lifecycles—from kickoff to post‑delivery support—ensuring that every engagement delivers measurable value, fosters long‑term partnership, and drives renewal and expansion. Our CS professionals are trusted advisors, project managers, and technical experts who keep stakeholders aligned, risks mitigated, and outcomes on track.

Role Overview

As a Senior Technical Program Manager, you will be the strategic bridge between brighthush’s technical delivery teams and our high‑profile ecosystem partners. You will own the end‑to‑end engagement, from initial discovery through renewal, while orchestrating cross‑functional collaboration, risk management, and value delivery. Your influence will shape the trajectory of our most critical client relationships and directly impact our recurring revenue pipeline.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the Engagement: Serve as the primary point of contact for strategic ecosystem accounts, managing the entire lifecycle from kickoff through renewal and expansion.
• Drive Delivery: Lead client kickoffs, manage scope via a structured change‑order process, oversee audit delivery, coordinate quality reviews, and proactively elevate risks to leadership.
• Administer Program Governance: Operate day‑to‑day governance frameworks—RASCI matrices, workstream structures, engagement models—maintaining cadence, metrics, and artifacts such as milestone plans, scope definitions, and RAID logs.
• Orchestrate Technical Delivery: Facilitate architecture and requirements sessions with client engineering teams, translate outcomes into actionable milestones, and manage backlogs, sprints, and stage gates across audit and engineering squads.
• Coordinate Third‑Party Infrastructure: Align delivery timelines and technical specifications with external infrastructure providers, supporting senior leadership in commercial and contractual decisions.
• Facilitate Dependency Mapping & Risk Management: Coordinate stakeholder dependencies, resolve operational blockers, and maintain a risk and compliance register with a regular governance cadence.

• Grow the Account: Partner with Sales, Secure Development, Security Services, and Growth to identify upsell opportunities, craft renewal narratives, and contribute directly to recurring revenue targets.
• Engage Technically: Review codebases at a high level for estimation, hold meaningful technical conversations with client engineering teams, and translate between client context and brighthush delivery teams.
• Operate with Rigor: Monitor team performance against key delivery metrics—resource utilization, allocation, on‑time delivery—using internal tooling (brighthush, brighthush, brighthush, brighthush, and automation systems) to streamline workflows.
• Deliver Unreasonable Hospitality: Exceed client expectations at every touchpoint, setting the standard for exceptional care and making judgment calls that AI cannot replicate.
