Job description

Sonatype is the software supply chain security company. We provide the world’s best end-to-end software supply chain security solution, combining the only proactive protection against malicious open source, the only enterprise grade SBOM management and the leading open source dependency management platform. This empowers enterprises to create and maintain secure, quality, and innovative software at scale.

As founders of Nexus Repository and stewards of Maven Central, the world’s largest repository of Java open-source software, we are software pioneers and our open source expertise is unmatched. We empower innovation with an unparalleled commitment to build faster, safer software and harness AI and data intelligence to mitigate risk, maximize efficiencies, and drive powerful software development.

More than 2,000 organizations, including 70% of the Fortune 100 and 15 million software developers, rely on Sonatype to optimize their software supply chains.

If you are ready to launch your career in the dynamic and growing field of Customer Success and develop in-depth knowledge of modern software development in today's DevSecOps tooling, then you should keep reading! We are adding more Customer Success Advocates (CSA) to ensure our customers continuously see value across the Sonatype Nexus Platform.

Why this role matters

Our users are software developers, security officers, and DevOps managers. We offer them subscriptions to valuable software that works. As long as our customers value their investment, they will continue to renew and expand their deployments.

Fortunately, our customers trust Sonatype and value their investments. This is validated by our 85%+ renewal rate—one of the highest renewal rates in the software subscription business. But we choose not to rest on our laurels. If our customers are not optimized, adequately deployed, or have compromised rollouts due to their lack of time, technical know-how/resources, or understanding of best practices, it will inhibit our mutual ability to achieve success. That is why the CSA role is so meaningful.

What Are CSAs Do

• Mentor and educate customers on implementing and using best practices for the Sonatype Nexus Platform to ensure smooth onboarding, faster adoption, and increased footprint.
• Discover and analyze gaps in the customer experience, identify early warning signals, and work with multi-functional teams to address them.
• Act as the voice of the customer - using your insights to help us drive improvements, influence product roadmap, and deploy customer advocacy programs.
• Ensure customers are SUCCESSFUL and DELIGHTED with Sonatype products and services, not merely satisfied.
  
  

What We Are Looking For

• Our CSAs come from various backgrounds, including software engineering, customer support, and project management. They also include career changers who are recent graduates of software academies and software Bootcamp programs. While the paths are different, they all share the following:
• Knowledge of current SDLC and the tooling that development organizations use to build applications
• Ability and desire to learn modern DevOps tooling.
• Well-honed organizational and interpersonal skills
• Desire to build long-term relationships and help our customers be successful.
• Ability to travel. Although this position is 100% remote, travel to customer locations will be 10%.
  
  

Things that we are proud of

• 2024 BuiltIn Best Places to Work:
• European Enterprise Awards 2023: Sonatype has been named a winner of the European Enterprise Awards in the Best Enterprise SaaS Provider
• Constellation AST Shortlist: Sonatype has been listed on the Constellation ShortList for Application Security Testing for 2024

• Diversity & Inclusion Working Groups
• Parental Leave Policy
• Paid Volunteer Time Off (VTO)

We offer perks such as parental leave, diversity and inclusion working groups, and flexible working practices to allow our employees to show up as their whole selves. We are an equal-opportunity employer, and we do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
