Customer Success/Service Delivery Lead

Koniag IT Systems, LLC, a Koniag Government Services company, is seeking a Customer Success Service Delivery Lead to support KITS and our government customer in Washington, DC. This position requires the candidate to be able to obtain a Public Trust.

We offer competitive compensation and an extraordinary benefits package including health, dental and vision insurance, 401K with company matching, flexible spending accounts, paid holidays, three weeks paid time off, and more.

The Customer Success / Service Delivery Lead is the senior authority responsible for driving positive stakeholder engagement, service adoption, customer satisfaction, and effective service delivery coordination across all functional areas of Client’s enterprise IT support program. This individual serves as the primary champion for Client’s end-user experience, ensuring that IT services are delivered in a manner that meets the needs of CLIENT staff, leadership, and mission stakeholders at every level of the organization.

This role requires a unique combination of strong interpersonal and communication skills, deep understanding of IT service delivery principles, and the ability to translate complex technical service performance data into clear, actionable insights for both technical and non-technical audiences. The Customer Success / Service Delivery Lead serves as the voice of the customer within the contractor team, ensuring that end-user needs, satisfaction trends, and service adoption challenges are surfaced, prioritized, and addressed through a structured, data-driven approach to customer success and service delivery improvement.

This individual must be capable of operating autonomously — managing complex stakeholder relationships, service delivery coordination activities, and customer success initiatives within delegated authority without escalation to government personnel for routine or moderately complex matters — and must demonstrate expert-level knowledge of customer success practices, IT service delivery management, and stakeholder engagement in a Federal enterprise environment.
