About the role
- Own the product strategy and full roadmap for GitLab AI-First CD, spanning AI agent deployment governance, compliance controls in highly regulated industries, Kubernetes and container deployments, and platform-level analytics and reporting.
- Develop a differentiated point of view on how the CD market is evolving in the AI era through direct customer engagement, field conversations, analyst relationships, and competitive intelligence.
- Partner closely with Engineering, UX, Product Design, and Quality to define problems, evaluate trade-offs, deliver improvements, and guide development and testing through delivery cycles.
- Work with Sales, Customer Success, Support, and Field teams to understand customer needs and adoption blockers, translate them into clear product requirements and release plans, and support customer-facing conversations.
- Define and track success metrics for your product area, run lightweight validations for new workflow ideas, and use customer feedback and product data to guide iteration and measure outcomes.
- Build strong cross-functional alignment across related GitLab stages and groups to deliver cohesive end-to-end experiences, connecting build, release, deploy, and environment workflows.
- Represent the Continuous Delivery product area internally and externally by communicating the roadmap, key decisions, and customer value in clear, straightforward language.
Requirements
- Extensive product management experience owning complex, technical B2B SaaS and developer-facing platforms, with proven track record launching new products and translating customer needs into clear product strategy and measurable outcomes.
- A founder's mindset: you create structure where none exists, make decisions with incomplete information, and take personal accountability for outcomes — not just outputs.
- Deep experience with CI/CD systems and deployment tooling, including building capabilities that improve pipeline reliability, performance, and usability at scale in enterprise environments.
- Comfort going deep with Engineering on implementation details when needed, including discussing technology trade-offs and their impact on product outcomes.
- Strong understanding of personas across the software delivery lifecycle—including developers, platform and DevOps engineers, engineering leaders, and release managers—and how they evaluate and adopt delivery tooling.
- Strong technical fluency— able to engage credibly with senior engineers on deployment architecture, AI-assisted workflows, Kubernetes, and platform integrations
- Highly analytical and data-driven approach: ability to synthesize qualitative feedback, product usage data, and market research into actionable insights and iterative improvements.
