Sr. Technical Program Manager, Office of the CTO

Remote, EMEA

GitLab is an open core software company that develops the most comprehensive AI-powered DevSecOps Platform, used by more than 100,000 organizations. Our mission is to enable everyone to contribute to and co-create the software that powers our world. When everyone can contribute, consumers become contributors, significantly accelerating the rate of human progress. This mission is integral to our culture, influencing how we hire, build products, and lead our industry. We make this possible at GitLab by running our operations on our product and staying aligned with our values.

An overview of this role

We're looking for an experienced Sr. Program Manager to manage and contribute to cross-functional initiatives led by the Engineering division of GitLab and will be part of a team at the CTO level. This is a new team at GitLab Engineering, so a great opportunity to help build out a new function “zero to one”.

This individual will be responsible for leading key cross-functional initiatives across the company focused primarily on the Engineering Division. Work will span from small self-led projects to managing larger initiatives that span contributions from nearly every stage of GitLab.

You’ll contribute directly to the priorities of the Engineering Division and collaborate closely with the Engineering Leadership team across all levels.

What you’ll do

  • Independently run small projects overseeing end-to-end delivery ensuring efficiency and collaboration of impacted stakeholders.
  • Program Manage larger cross-functional initiatives (strategically run out of the Engineering Division).
  • Develop processes to improve efficiency across the division.
  • Prior experience as a Technical Program Manager (TPgM).
  • Experience working on technical cross-functional programs at a larger organization.
  • Attention to detail and strong demonstrated written communication skills.
  • Technical ability and willingness to learn quickly including managing our handbook with git.
  • Ability to independently problem-solve and create strategic relationships across the organization.
  • Experience collaborating closely with stakeholders across product, marketing, sales, and legal.

Please note that we welcome interest from candidates with varying levels of experience; many successful candidates do not meet every single requirement. If you're excited about this role, please apply and allow our recruiters to assess your application.
