Customer Success Manager (German Speaking)

📍 Remote (CET ±2h) | 💬 Fluent German (C2) & English required

Join Secfix to shape the future of compliance automation in Europe.

About Secfix

At Secfix, we’re building something ambitious: a powerful platform that makes security compliance fast and stress-free for growing companies in Europe. We’ve already helped dozens of startups and scaleups in the DACH region get audit-ready in record time — and we’re just getting started.

We’re backed by top VCs (Octopus Ventures, Commerzbank’s Neosfer) and founders from unicorns like Signavio. The market is massive ($97B+), and we’re leading the way with a smart, lean team of 19 (and growing).

About You

To scale that impact, we’re looking for a smart, thoughtful Customer Success Manager to help guide our customers through their compliance journey — from first onboarding call to renewal and beyond.

This role isn’t just about replying to emails and check-ins. It’s about being a trusted advisor to our customers, helping them navigate complex compliance processes, and finding new ways to add value. You’ll collaborate with sales, product, engineering and marketing, bring your ideas to the table, and play a central role in how our customers experience Secfix.

We’re looking for someone resourceful, a quick learner, and energized by helping customers succeed. You’re a people person and a problem-solver. You’re not scared of tech. You can have tough conversations with customers and still leave them smiling. And you know that success in a startup isn’t about checking boxes — it’s about getting things done.

If you’re looking for a role where you can make a real difference, be deeply involved in shaping how things work, and grow fast alongside a supportive team — we’d love to meet you.

• Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Sales, Engineering, and Marketing to deliver value.
• Be a voice of the customer inside the company, driving product and process improvements.
