Second Front Systems is looking for a technically fluent, mission-driven, high-agency Senior Enterprise Mission Success Manager to own our most complex and strategic customer relationships. Operating at the frontline of the Second Front customer journey, you will be responsible for the success of a focused portfolio of enterprise customers, guiding their experience from the moment they sign with Second Front, through kickoff, implementation, authorization, steady-state support, and renewal. These accounts involve complex architectures, multiple products or programs, demanding timelines, and senior stakeholders on both the commercial and government side. You will serve as the dedicated primary point of contact and trusted technical advisor for these customers as they deploy on Game Warden, acting as the daily connective tissue between customers, engineering, security, and product. You will go deep on the technical details, anticipate risks before they become escalations, and ensure your customers achieve authorization and secure deployment of their SaaS solutions. As a key partner to essentially every function within the Second Front ecosystem, you will be the core connective tissue between those teams and our customers, serving as not just a critical link to them, but also to the missions that our customers support.
