About Ping Identity
At Ping Identity, we believe in making digital experiences both secure and seamless for all users, without compromise. We call this digital freedom. And it's not just something we provide our customers. It's something that inspires our company. People don't come here to join a culture that's built on digital freedom. They come to cultivate it.
Our intelligent, cloud identity platform lets people shop, work, bank, and interact wherever and however they want. Without friction. Without fear.
While protecting digital identities is at the core of our technology, protecting individual identities is at the core of our culture. We champion every identity. One of our core values, Respect Individuality, reminds us to celebrate differences so you are empowered to bring your authentic self to work.
We're headquartered in Denver, Colorado and we have offices and employees around the globe. We serve the largest, most demanding enterprises worldwide, including more than half of the Fortune 100. At Ping Identity, we're changing the way people and businesses think about cybersecurity, digital experiences, and identity and access management.
The Customer Success Manager (CSM)

Adoption & Value Realisation
- Translate customer objectives into measurable outcomes and ensure progress is tracked and communicated.
- Regularly review usage data, health scores, and telemetry to spot gaps, drive adoption plays, and prevent value erosion.

- Capture and share customer feedback, ensuring issues are followed through to resolution and learnings are socialized internally.
- Identify and develop customer advocates for references, testimonials, case studies, and events.
