The AI Customer Success function is being built from the ground up, and this role will help define it. As the first Customer Success Manager in this area, you will own the end-to-end post-sale experience for a portfolio of customers that includes some of the world’s most sophisticated cyber investigators, national security agencies, and financial crime teams. Your mandate is not just to manage accounts—you will help establish the playbook, define what success looks like, and drive a product-led growth motion that turns new customers into long-term, expanding partners.
The impact you will have:
Build and ship a v1 onboarding playbook within the first 30 days — a practical, working version built from early customer engagements that can be iterated as you learn what drives adoption across segments
Use AI to build production CS workflows that pull from ChurnZero, Salesforce, Gong, and product usage telemetry to auto-generate account health summaries and QBR drafts — compressing hours of reporting prep into minutes so you can spend your time on the work that actually requires human judgment
Define and track adoption benchmarks across the portfolio — hands-on-keyboard usage, consumption rates, and account-specific success metrics — and surface at-risk accounts before renewal decisions are made
Identify and scope the highest-impact PLG play within 60 days by working backwards from expansion targets, focusing on the one or two use cases most likely to drive consumption across the customer base
Run executive business reviews and QBRs with senior stakeholders at government agencies and financial institutions — building the trust and credibility that turns TRM from a vendor into a mission-critical partner
Partner with ADs on expansion plays, co-own NRR targets, and build the structured path to proving value for every customer with an expiring or at-risk contract
Close the feedback loop between customers and Product — synthesize adoption blockers, feature gaps, and new use case opportunities into prioritized, actionable input that informs the roadmap
Design the CS infrastructure and tooling stack that scales as the product grows — you are building the foundation the next CSM hire will inherit
What we're looking for:
5+ years in customer success or post-sale roles with proven ownership of NRR, GRR, and expansion metrics — you have the track record, not just the title
Domain credibility in cyber, national security, financial crime, or blockchain intelligence — you can walk into a room of investigators and earn their trust in the first meeting, not the fifth
Demonstrated zero-to-one builder experience — you have built a CS function, onboarding playbook, or PLG motion from scratch and can point to the specific outcomes it drove
Production AI fluency — you have built real, repeatable AI workflows (not just experiments) that synthesize data from multiple sources into outputs that run consistently and have measurable results; you can show the workflow, explain the data logic, and articulate where human judgment stays in the loop
High level of independence — you set your own agenda, operate without needing constant direction, and ship v1 before you have all the answers
Strong executive presence — you can run a QBR with a senior government stakeholder or financial institution executive and command the room through substance, not just polish
About the Team:
This team focuses on TRM’s AI-driven blockchain intelligence capabilities, supporting investigators and compliance teams working on complex cases involving crypto-related financial crime, cyber threats, and national security risks
This is the first hire for this Customer Success team — you will help build the function from the ground up, with high autonomy, direct access to leadership, and meaningful influence on how TRM approaches customer success in this area
The broader TRM CS organization operates distributed, not distant — async-first communication through Slack, strong documentation, and intentional synchronous time for key decisions
You will work directly with the Head of Customer Success and Patrick South (CRO), with close day-to-day collaboration with the AD team and Product
Team Operating Rhythms:
As a globally distributed team, members may observe different timezones. However, most of the team will overlap between the hours of 7am-5:00 pm PST for meetings and collaboration.
Our Customer success Team is fully remote, thriving on asynchronous communication and collaboration through Slack channels and detailed documentation. We hold weekly Customer Syncs, bi-weekly health syncs, join our associated POD calls, and regularly engage with our customers. As experts in our craft, we focus on providing support, driving value, and building meaningful relationships with our customers as trusted advisors. We are on the front lines of TRM, ensuring our customers get the most out of the product and bringing valuable insights back to the team.
Moves fast and iterates — v1 ships before it is perfect, and feedback is expected to be direct and specific
Learn about TRM Speed in this position:
Within 30 days of joining, you ship a working v1 onboarding playbook built from your first 2–3 accounts — not a slide deck, but a live document with measurable adoption benchmarks that the account team is already using to set customer expectations
Within 6 weeks, you share a draft success metrics framework at 50% complete with the account team and key customers to validate direction — getting real signal on what drives credit consumption before investing further in building out the full playbook
Within 60 days, you identify and scope the highest-impact PLG play by working backwards from expansion targets — presenting a concrete recommendation to leadership on which use case to prioritize and why, grounded in actual account data
We are building a safer world. That promise shows up in how we work every day.
TRM moves quickly. We are a high velocity, high ownership team that expects clarity, follow-through, and impact. People who thrive here are energized by hard problems, experimentation, and continuous feedback. If something takes months elsewhere, it will ship here in days.
Our work sits at the intersection of AI, national security, and fighting financial crime. The problems are complex, the stakes are real, and the environment evolves quickly. The pace and intensity of the work reflect the importance of the mission. As a result, the way we operate requires a high level of ownership, adaptability, collaboration, and creative problem-solving.
At TRM, you should expect:
Priorities and targets to change quickly as we experiment and iterate
Work that often requires operating with a high degree of ambiguity
A high level of personal ownership and accountability
Close collaboration across teams and functions
Frequent, high-touch communication
Creative problem solving and out-of-the-box thinking
A pace that rewards urgency, adaptability, and outcomes
This environment is energizing for people who enjoy building, solving hard problems, and making progress in situations that are not always fully defined. It also requires comfort navigating ambiguity, adjusting course as new information emerges, and maintaining focus and positivity in a fast-moving and intense environment.
We also recognize that this style of operating is not for everyone. If you are primarily optimizing for predictability or a consistently balanced workload, we encourage you to use the interview process to pressure test whether this environment is truly the right fit. We want teammates who thrive here, not just survive here.
At the same time, many people find this work deeply rewarding. If you are excited by meaningful problems, motivated by ambitious goals, and energized by working alongside mission-driven colleagues, there is a good chance you will find TRM to be an exceptional place to grow and contribute.
