Customer Success Manager - Clearance Required

We're looking for a Customer Success Manager to drive engagement with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and ensure they achieve maximum value from their investment in LIGER, an enterprise AI platform built for federal missions. You'll be CBP's primary customer success contact: building relationships with users and stakeholders, surfacing pain points, driving adoption, and making sure the LIGER team delivers against what matters. This position requires the ability to obtain a CBP Background Investigation; U.S. citizenship is required. This position requires an active Secret clearance.

This is a customer-facing role that sits between the CBP user community and the LIGER product, engineering, and leadership teams. You'll translate customer reality into product priorities, run the engagement playbook day to day, and own the relationship outcome. If you've worked customer success in federal technology and want to do it on a fast-moving AI product, keep reading.

About This Team

LIGER sits within LMI's Chief Technology Office. We're a small, high-visibility team building AI tools for federal agencies. The culture is more startup than traditional government contractor; we move fast, solve problems in design spikes rather than scheduled reviews, and care more about outcomes than process. That said, we're building for users who need reliability and trust, so craft and attention to detail matter.

As CBP's Customer Success Manager, you'll have direct influence on how LIGER evolves and how it lands with real users. You'll work daily with the LIGER product manager, engineering lead, and platform team, and own the CBP relationship end to end.

LMI is a new breed of digital solutions provider dedicated to accelerating government impact with innovation and speed. Investing in technology and prototypes ahead of need, LMI brings commercial-grade platforms and mission-ready AI to federal agencies at commercial speed.

Leveraging our mission-ready technology and solutions, proven expertise in federal deployment, and strategic relationships, we enhance outcomes for the government, efficiently and effectively. With a focus on agility and collaboration, LMI serves the defense, space, healthcare, and energy sectors-helping agencies navigate complexity and outpace change. Headquartered in Tysons, Virginia, LMI is committed to delivering impactful results that strengthen missions and drive lasting value.
