Reno, NV; San Ramon, CA; Remote, USA

Are you an experienced customer success professional with a passion for fostering meaningful relationships with enterprise clients? Do you thrive at the intersection of technology, financial services, and strategic consulting?

If so, we invite you to be a part of our innovative team.

As a Senior Customer Success Manager, you will play a critical role in supporting a portfolio of mid-enterprise and larger investment and wealth management customers. In this role, you will help customers accelerate time-to-value, deepen product adoption, and identify opportunities for growth while ensuring strong retention, referenceability, and satisfaction. Your previous experience with enterprise SaaS software, change management, KPI definition/tracking, sales and product partnership, and customer advocacy will play a critical part in your day-to-day work. You will leverage cutting-edge technologies—including AI tools like ChatGPT, Glean, and Claude Code—as well as leading CS platforms such as Salesforce and Pendo to streamline workflows, proactively surface insights, and deliver scalable yet context-aware customer outcomes.

At Ridgeline, how we work matters as much as what we build. Ridgeliners act like owners, choose growth over comfort, and communicate with transparency. We assume positive intent, bias toward action, and bring solutions—not just problems. We celebrate wins, learn from setbacks, and thrive in a resilient, collaborative, high-performing culture.

If this excites you, we’d love to meet you.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
