Senior Customer Success Manager

About the role

NVIDIA is expanding its presence in the U.S. federal government market with a dedicated focus on ensuring mission-critical AI deployments succeed. We are seeking a Senior Customer Success Manager with deep federal market expertise, a strong background in enterprise software adoption within government environments, and an active Top Secret security clearance.

Responsibilities

• Serve as the primary post-sale relationship owner for a portfolio of U.S. federal and civilian agency customers, acting as their trusted advisor throughout the full customer lifecycle.
• Develop and execute tailored Customer Success Plans that align NVIDIA AI solutions to each agency's mission priorities, technical environment, and operational goals.
• Lead regular Executive Business Reviews and agency-level health check-ins, presenting adoption trends, value metrics, and forward-looking roadmap alignment.
• Drive software adoption and usage expansion across NVIDIA AI Enterprise, Run:AI, Omniverse, and hardened AI container deployments, particularly within classified, air-gapped, and IL4/IL5/IL6 environments.
• Identify and proactively manage customer health risks, coordinating internal escalation paths with technical, product, and leadership teams when needed.
• Partner closely with federal system integrators, OEM partners, and prime contractors to support smooth deployment and ongoing enablement.
• Serve as the voice of the customer internally, translating field observations and agency feedback into actionable input for NVIDIA's product, engineering, and federal go-to-market teams.
• Support renewal readiness by ensuring customers are achieving their defined success metrics well in advance of contract milestones.

Requirements

• 12+ years of Customer Success, technical account management, or professional services experience supporting U.S. federal government customers, with demonstrated impact on adoption, retention, and customer outcomes.
• BS degree or equivalent experience.
• Experience supporting software deployments in classified, air-gapped, or mission-critical environments, with a working understanding of what it takes to operationalize enterprise software in those constraints.
• Familiarity with federal compliance and security frameworks including FedRAMP, DoD Impact Levels (IL4/IL5/IL6), FIPS 140-3, and NIST 800-53.
• Strong executive communication and relationship management skills, equally comfortable running a QBR with a program director as working through a technical deployment issue with an infrastructure team.
• Understanding of federal procurement processes, contracting vehicles (GSA Schedule, SEWP, IDIQs), and budget cycles as they relate to software adoption and renewal planning.
• Proven ability to manage complex, multi-stakeholder relationships across agencies, mission owners, and federal system integrators.
• Experience with AI, HPC, or advanced software platforms, enough to have an informed technical conversation and know when to bring in the right experts.

Qualifications

• TS/SCI clearance with full-scope polygraph.
• Established relationships within key DoD components, the intelligence community, or civilian agencies with active AI modernization programs.
• Experience helping federal customers adopt containerized AI workloads, MLOps platforms, or GPU-accelerated computing at scale.
• Familiarity with NVIDIA technologies and the specific challenges of deploying AI in secure government environments.
• Background in mission-area use cases such as digital twin/simulation (Omniverse), geospatial intelligence, signals processing, or autonomous systems.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation, equity, and benefits.
• NVIDIA offers a cash compensation range of 224,000 USD - 356,500 USD, with 85% paid through base salary and 15% variable compensation.
