Manifest is on a mission to secure the global software and AI supply chain. Our platform automates the discovery and analysis of risks across internally built and third-party software and AI systems, giving security, product, and engineering teams complete visibility into the components and dependencies that make up their technology stack.

• Serve as the voice of the customer internally, relaying feedback to Product and Engineering to influence the roadmap.
• Build and maintain customer-facing materials, including onboarding plans, business reviews, and success plans.
• Troubleshoot technical questions independently where possible, working with databases, APIs, and JSON-based data (including SBOM/AIBOM/CryptographyBOM formats like SPDX and CycloneDX), and looping in Engineering or Support when deeper investigation is needed.

• Strong track record in cybersecurity and/or SaaS customer success, including driving adoption, managing renewals, and reducing churn.
• Technical skills:
• Comfort working with technical systems and data, including relational databases, REST APIs, and JSON schemas, with the ability to read and troubleshoot at a working technical level.
• Ability to write basic scripts (e.g., Python, shell, or similar) to investigate issues, automate small tasks, or support reporting.
• Familiarity with software supply chain security concepts, including Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs) and AI Bills of Materials (AIBOMs), and standards such as SPDX and CycloneDX.
• Comfort using frontier AI models (e.g., Claude, ChatGPT, or similar) as part of daily workflow to troubleshoot integrations, fix poorly formatted BOMs, and improve efficiency and quality of work.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate technical concepts for both highly technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Candidates must be based in or willing to relocate to the greater Washington, D.C. area.
