About the role
About BigGeo
BigGeo is the Spatial Cloud, empowering companies to manage and access the world’s spatial data with unparalleled speed and insight. We provide the infrastructure layer that makes spatial data accessible at any scale, enabling teams and AI systems to make confident decisions. We are building a new internet layer where location data is instantly clear, programmable, and actionable, removing decades of complexity and providing speed, precision, and control.
We are a Calgary-based company, early, fast-moving, and focused on building infrastructure for the long term. We are not competing in existing markets; we are defining a new one. Our mission is to close the gap for companies that are spatially blind, providing the rails that connect the planet’s moving data to the systems that run the world.
Why Build Here?
- Shape a New Category: Your work will define what the spatial data category becomes.
- Architectural Impact: Decisions made today form the foundation for tomorrow.
- Clarity and Purpose: We operate with clarity, not politics, focusing on mission and execution.
- Rapid Growth: Tackle genuinely difficult problems in spatial data at scale to foster accelerated personal growth.
- Long-Term Vision: We are building enduring infrastructure, not chasing hype cycles.
Role Overview: Customer Success Manager
BigGeo is seeking a Customer Success Manager (CSM) to guide organizations in successfully adopting and operationalizing the Spatial Cloud. This high-impact, customer-facing role bridges product, data, and go-to-market strategies, shaping how enterprise clients move from spatial data experimentation to sustained platform adoption. You will own customer relationships post-onboarding, ensuring they effectively manage and access spatial data, integrating it into their workflows for tangible business outcomes.
This role is perfect for individuals who thrive on close customer collaboration, solving operational challenges, and translating complex technology into practical results. As a part-relationship owner, part-technical guide, and part-internal customer advocate, you will have the autonomy to define BigGeo's customer success approach as the company scales. This role is a critical engine for BigGeo's growth, transforming early adoption into long-term infrastructure relationships across spatial intelligence-dependent industries.
Key Responsibilities
- Own the full post-sale customer lifecycle: onboarding, adoption, expansion, and renewal for assigned accounts.
- Guide customers through structured onboarding to achieve first value on the Spatial Cloud quickly and confidently.
- Serve as the primary relationship owner for enterprise and technical users, including practitioners and executive sponsors.
- Develop customer success plans aligning platform capabilities with business outcomes, workflows, and strategic priorities.

- Identify and qualify expansion opportunities within existing accounts for sales to close.
- Gather, synthesize, and communicate structured customer feedback to Product and Engineering teams.
- Document playbooks and best practices to ensure a repeatable and scalable Customer Success function.
- Utilize AI tools for customer usage analysis, insight generation, report preparation, and productivity enhancement.
- Act as the internal voice of the customer, influencing roadmap, positioning, and company strategy.
