Job Details

Proven technical program management experience, including operating at the Staff or Senior Staff level.
Proven success leading large, complex, cross-functional programs in a fast-paced, distributed engineering environment.
Strong technical fluency, with the ability to engage credibly with engineers and architects on topics such as continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD), cloud infrastructure, application programming interfaces (APIs), and distributed systems.
Exceptional stakeholder management skills and strong written and verbal communication, especially when working with senior engineering and product leaders.
Comfort using program and project management tools such as GitLab, Jira, or similar platforms to manage execution and visibility.
Ability to read technical discussions, identify dependencies and risks, and turn complex inputs into practical plans, milestones, and decisions.
Demonstrated ability to take ownership of complex programs, ask thoughtful questions, make sound decisions, collaborate constructively across teams, and move work forward in ambiguous environments.

Lead the planning, execution, and delivery of high-priority, cross-functional programs across GitLab's engineering organization.
Operate at the portfolio level to identify dependencies, track progress, manage risk, and help teams deliver against defined objectives, milestones, and measurable outcomes over multiple quarters.
Partner directly with Engineering Directors, Vice Presidents, Product leadership, and technical leaders to align on priorities, program goals, trade-offs, and execution plans.
Create structure in ambiguous spaces by defining program frameworks, decision points, operating cadences, and communication plans that help teams move forward.
Translate technical architecture discussions, infrastructure considerations, and system dependencies into clear program plans that teams can execute against.
Drive stakeholder coordination across organizational boundaries, including collaboration with teams such as Monetization, Fulfillment, Utilization, Legal, and senior individual contributors across engineering stages.
Communicate program status, risks, and decisions clearly to senior stakeholders and executive audiences, with a focus on concise updates and actionable next steps.
Strengthen how programs are run by improving planning practices, supporting outcome-oriented execution, and helping the teams you support work more effectively at scale.
