Manager - Customer Onboarding & Success

Veracode is seeking an experienced Manager, Customer Onboarding & Success to lead our customer onboarding function across Enterprise and commercial accounts — directly project managing technical deployments alongside Customer Solutions Engineers (CSEs), and ensuring customers achieve value quickly, adopt core capabilities, and are positioned for long-term success.  This role directly reports to the Vice President of Customer Success. 

The ideal candidate brings a strong Customer Success background — building scalable programs in a B2B SaaS environment, hands-on experience project managing technical deployments, and leading enterprise onboarding teams. This person will own the customer journey across two segments: guided, high-touch onboarding for Enterprise accounts, where they will directly project manage deployments alongside CSEs and SAs; and a digital onboarding program for customers, delivering a high-quality experience at scale. 

Key Responsibilities 

Onboarding Leadership & Customer Experience 

• Lead the onboarding function, managing and developing team members with clear accountability for customer outcomes, milestones, and exit criteria. 
• Ensure onboarding plans translate purchased solutions into clear business outcomes, timelines, responsibilities, and adoption goals — with a focus on accelerating time to first value. 
• Identify and resolve onboarding risks, stalled customers, and recurring friction points; establish standards for customer communication, stakeholder alignment, and governance. 

Technical Deployment Project Management 

• Directly project manage customer deployments in partnership with CSEs and SAs — owning the end-to-end project plan, timeline, milestones, and customer-facing communication from post-sale through go-live. 
• Define task ownership for technical resources with tracked deadlines, dependencies, and escalation paths; run deployment status meetings and drive blockers to resolution. 
• Serve as the single point of accountability for the customer during deployment, translating technical activity into clear status, expectations, and next steps. 

Customer Success & Cross-Functional Partnership 

• Partner with CS leadership, CSMs, and Sales to establish strong handoffs and ensure customers are positioned for long-term adoption, retention, and growth. 
• Ensure CSMs receive complete onboarding documentation, customer goals, adoption status, outstanding risks, and agreed-upon next steps at transition. 
• Work cross-functionally with Product and Support to identify and address systemic issues impacting the onboarding experience. 

Digital & Scaled Onboarding 

• Own the strategy, design, and continuous improvement of tiered onboarding programs that align the customer experience to different levels of engagement and support — from digital and scaled experiences to guided, high-touch onboarding for Enterprise accounts. Incorporate self-service content, product walkthroughs, automated communications, and milestone checkpoints across each tier.
• Monitor engagement, completion, and time-to-value metrics; use data and customer feedback to continuously optimize onboarding experiences and ensure each program delivers the appropriate level of support.

Program Management & Operational Excellence 

• Establish governance, processes, and operating rhythms across the onboarding portfolio; develop reporting on performance, risks, capacity, and outcomes. 
• Identify opportunities for process improvement and scalability; analyze trends to recommend improvements across the broader Customer Success organization. 

Success Metrics 

• Onboarding completion rate and percentage of milestones completed on time 
• Time to first value and product adoption within the first 90 days 
• Customer satisfaction (CSAT) during onboarding 
• Digital onboarding engagement, completion, and adoption rates 
• Quality of onboarding-to-CSM handoffs and reduction in onboarding-related escalations 

Qualifications 

• 7+ years in Customer Success, customer onboarding, or a related post-sale SaaS function, including 2+ years managing customer-facing teams; prior experience as or leading CSMs strongly preferred. 
• Direct experience project managing technical customer deployments alongside technical resources (e.g., CSEs, SAs, or implementation engineers), ideally within an Enterprise or mid-market SaaS environment. 
• Demonstrated understanding of the SaaS customer lifecycle and the relationship between onboarding, adoption, retention, and growth. 
• Excellent customer communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to navigate complex situations and drive accountability across internal and external teams. 
• Demonstrated success driving customer adoption, value realization, and business outcomes in a SaaS environment. 
• Familiarity with CS platforms (e.g., Gainsight, Totango, ChurnZero) and project or onboarding management tools; experience with digital onboarding tools (e.g., Pendo, WalkMe, Appcues) strongly preferred. 
• Experience in B2B SaaS; cybersecurity or enterprise software experience is a plus.
