Job Description

Who We Are

Atlan is building the missing context layer for data and AI, helping enterprises close the AI value chasm and finally move AI pilots into production. Today, 95% of AI pilots fail because AI systems don’t understand the context behind data: what it means, how it’s governed, and how it should be used.

Atlan unifies this context by connecting to every part of the data and AI stack, enabling teams to build, collaborate on, and activate shared context across data, business, and AI workflows, including for AI agents.

Trusted by global enterprises like Mastercard, Workday, General Motors, Unilever, Ralph Lauren, FOX, Nasdaq, and Medtronic, we’re backed by world-class investors including GIC, Insight Partners, Meritech, Peak XV, and Salesforce Ventures

As a Strategic Customer Success Manager, you’ll sit at the center of some of our most complex, highest-impact customer relationships.

You’ll partner with Fortune 500 and high-growth enterprise customers to drive real adoption, measurable business outcomes, and long-term value from their data and AI initiatives.

If you get energy from working with executive stakeholders, translating technical platforms into business impact, and helping customers actually change how they work with data, this one’s for you.

Impact & Purpose

  • Lead the Metadata Charge: Guide data teams toward better collaboration, trust, and governance as part of the Active Metadata Management movement.

  • Partner with Industry Titans: Serve as a trusted advisor to Atlan’s customers, including Fortune 500 enterprises and high-growth innovators.

  • Deliver Measurable Results: Drive clear ROI by helping customers unlock value from their data through adoption, alignment, and outcomes, not just usage.

  • Shape the Future: Bring the voice of the customer into Atlan. Influence product direction, GTM strategy, and how we scale Customer Success.

  • Relationship Maestro: Build and maintain strong relationships with CDOs, CIOs, Heads of Data, Analytics leaders, and hands-on practitioners across the org.

  • Success Champion: Own the customer journey end to end, from onboarding and adoption through renewals and expansion, driving long-term success.

  • Data Hero Evangelist: Capture and share customer wins, helping elevate Atlan’s impact across the global data community.

What makes you a match for us?

  • Deep Expertise: 7+ years of professional experience, with 3–5+ years in Customer Success, Consulting, or a closely adjacent, customer-facing role.

  • Passionate Advocate: You care deeply about helping customers succeed and believe in the power of data collaboration, trust, and governance.

  • Technical Prowess: Strong understanding of modern data ecosystems and tools such as Snowflake, BigQuery, Tableau, Looker, dbt, and similar technologies.

  • AI-curious: You actively use AI to think, prepare, and work better, and you’re excited about how metadata and governance enable AI-native organizations.

  • Strategic Mind: You can translate customer needs into clear insights, success plans, and measurable ROI tied to business outcomes.

  • Commercial Management: Experience owning or supporting renewals and identifying expansion opportunities through value-driven conversations.

Nice to have experience:

  • Experience with data governance, lineage, or metadata platforms.

  • Familiarity with APIs, integrations, or workflow automation.

  • Industry depth (e.g., financial services, healthcare, retail).

  • Experience with Customer Success platforms like Vitally, Gainsight, Totango, or ChurnZero.

  • Exposure to compliance frameworks such as GDPR, HIPAA, or CCPA.

About Atlan

Built by a data team for data teams, Atlan is the active metadata platform for the modern data stack. It stitches together metadata from various sources (Snowflake, dbt, Databricks, Looker, Tableau, Postgres, etc.) to create a unified data discovery, cataloging, lineage, and governance experience across all your data assets, from columns and queries to metrics and dashboards. Atlan facilitates a two-way movement of metadata, bringing context back into the tools and workflows that your data team uses every day — for example, in your BI tool when you wonder what a metric on the dashboard means.

A pioneer in the space, Atlan has been named a Visionary in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Data and Analytics Governance Platforms and a Leader and the only Customer Favorite in The Forrester Wave™: Data Governance Solutions, Q3 2025. Atlan was also recognized by Gartner seven times in 2021, including as a Cool Vendor in DataOps and in the inaugural Market Guide for Active Metadata Management. Today, we power data democratization and AI-readiness at companies like General Motors, Cisco, Autodesk, Unilever, Ralph Lauren, FOX, News Corp, Nasdaq, NextGen, Plaid, and HubSpot. We recently raised a $105M Series C, backed by top investors including GIC, Insight Partners, Sequoia Capital India, and Salesforce Ventures.
