About the Role:
As a Customer Success Manager focused on serving our most strategic customers in North America. You will serve as a trusted advisor to agencies across the region, helping them derive maximum value from Planet’s satellite imagery and geospatial solutions. You’ll support mission-critical initiatives in areas such as emergency response, environmental monitoring, infrastructure planning, and natural resource management.
Your role will be to deepen customer engagement, drive adoption of Planet products, and identify growth opportunities within your portfolio. You’ll work across a range of federal, state and municipal agencies building relationships, understanding regional priorities, and translating challenges into impactful geospatial solutions. The best CSMs on our team operate at the macro level, stepping back to see the full context of an account, plotting a path forward, and driving action rather than waiting to be asked.
This is a full-time, hybrid role which will require you to work from our San Francisco or Arlington, VA office 3 days per week.
Impact You'll Own:
- Build trusted relationships with customers to help them achieve strategic goals using Planet’s technology.
- Drive product adoption through onboarding, training, and tailored guidance on best practices.
- Identify expansion and renewal opportunities, partnering with Sales to secure long-term value for customers.
- Advocate for customer needs internally, surfacing feedback to influence product development and roadmap prioritization.
- Collaborate with Sales, Product, and Marketing to develop use cases, success stories, and public sector engagement strategies.
- Provide proactive support and account planning for key renewals, budget cycles, and legislative timelines.
- Champion change for customers navigating a rapidly evolving geospatial landscape, helping agencies adapt Planet's tools to new and emerging mission needs.
What You Bring:
- 4+ years of experience in Customer Success, Account Management, or related roles.
- Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field.
- Understanding of public sector workflows, procurement processes, and funding cycles.
- Ability to communicate technical concepts to a wide range of audiences from analysts to government executives.
- Skilled in cross-functional collaboration with Sales, Product, Support, and Engineering teams.
- Excellent organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple accounts and priorities.
- A curious, ever-learning mindset and the humility to know your understanding of the customer's mission is never complete, and the drive to keep digging deeper.
- Solid human and organizational intelligence able to read organizational culture, key drivers, and persona types across government agencies, then tailor your approach to optimize for engagement and outcomes.
- Willingness to travel as needed.
What Makes You Stand Out:
- Prior experience working directly with federal, state or municipal government agencies.
- Knowledge of key public sector challenges—climate adaptation, land use planning, infrastructure resiliency, emergency response.
- Proficiency with tools like ArcGIS, QGIS, or Google Earth Engine.
- Experience navigating data-sharing agreements or government contract mechanisms.
