About the role

- Reporting directly to the CFO, you will be Finance's primary partner on GitLab's most strategically significant cross-functional initiatives, including Lead-to-Cash optimization, our transition to a consumption-based business model, and global expansion strategy, working in close partnership with the CRO, CPO, CIO, and executive leadership team to ensure these programs are well-structured, well-governed, and deliver measurable business outcomes.
- You will build and lead the Finance Transformation Office while extending Finance's partnership to serve as a catalyst for enterprise-wide transformation, establishing the governance frameworks, program architecture, and change management capabilities required to execute complex, multi-year initiatives that partner and co-sponsor with Sales, Revenue Operations, Legal, IT, and GTM.
- You are equally comfortable influencing a Board-level strategy conversation and rolling up your sleeves to drive execution in a fully distributed, async-first environment.
- This role is critical to ensuring GitLab operates with the speed, efficiency, and sophistication required of a high-performing public technology company navigating a transformational moment in its growth.
