About the Role

We’re hiring a Mid-Market Customer Success Manager to own and grow a portfolio of higher-value, more complex customers in the DACH region.

This role sits between SMB and mid-market. You’ll manage high-touch mid-market accounts, owning renewals, expansions, and long-term customer outcomes end-to-end. You’ll work closely with Customer Success Lead and other teams to shape how Secfix delivers value, and retains & expands revenue, with larger customers.

This is a commercially accountable CSM role with clear ownership of Net Revenue Retention (NRR) and real influence on how Secfix scales its mid-market customer success motion.

What You'll Do:

You’ll own one of the most critical levers of the business: retention, expansion, and long-term customer value. We don’t micro-manage: you’ll have context, best practices, and strong support, but full ownership of outcomes. You will:

- Own a portfolio of mid-market customers and be fully accountable for renewals and expansion

- Own the end-to-end implementation of compliance frameworks with your customers, guiding them from onboarding through audit readiness

- Become a trusted compliance partner, helping customers translate structured frameworks into practical, auditable processes

- Build and maintain clear account plans for priority customers

- Run structured renewal cycles, including pricing, scope, and procurement discussions

- Proactively identify upsell and expansion opportunities and drive them to close

- Run effective QBRs with clear narratives, outcomes, and next steps

- Translate complex security and compliance topics into business value

- Maintain accurate account health, renewal forecasts, and expansion pipeline in HubSpot

- Create and improve playbooks, templates, and scalable CS processes

About You:

- 4+ years of experience as a Customer Success Manager in a B2B SaaS company, ideally between seed and series B stage

- Proven ownership of renewals and expansion, not just relationship management

- Track record of delivering strong Net Revenue Retention in mid-market or upmarket accounts

- Comfortable managing longer cycles, complex stakeholders, and high expectations

- Confident handling tough renewal and commercial conversations

- Strong commercial mindset: you think about expansion in every customer interaction

- Able to communicate complex topics clearly in German (C2) and English

- Highly structured and process-driven, even in fast-moving environments

- Comfortable operating with autonomy and ambiguity in an early-stage company

Nice-to- have:

- Exposure to compliance, information security, risk, or GRC topics

- Experience building or improving CS processes and tooling from scratch

- Remote Work: 100% remote work with a virtual office in Gather.

- Competitive Salary: Industry-competitive local salaries. We pay local rates that are at or above the market. We share this philosophy with GitLab.

Please note: We are an equal-opportunity employer and remote-only company. At this time, we can support hiring only within EU time zones. We work in sync using Gather as our virtual office.
