Requirements
• Product management experience in application security or related security domains, with a track record of owning products from strategy through execution. • Background working across multiple security product areas or portfolios, not just a single feature, including exposure to topics like code scanning, dependency scanning, and security testing. • Experience operating at a broad, cross-functional scope, partnering closely with go-to-market, marketing, partnerships, and internal security teams to shape positioning and drive adoption. • Demonstrated ability to coach, mentor, and elevate other product managers, including reviewing product requirements and supporting them through escalations and go to market decisions. • Comfort acting as a right-hand partner to senior leadership, translating high-level business goals into clear product priorities and helping connect strategy across a portfolio. • Strong communication and relationship-building skills, with an interest in doing the legwork to build trust and influence without authority. • Hands-on, AI-first mindset using modern tools to prototype, visualize ideas, and communicate product concepts quickly, for example, by spinning up lightweight demos or UI drafts. • Openness to candidates from adjacent domains who bring deep product expertise, transferable security experience, and an interest in growing further into application security and DevSecOps. • The Security and Compliance product team owns a broad portfolio of security and compliance capabilities within GitLab's DevSecOps platform, including application security scanners (code scanning, software composition analysis, and dependency scanning), secret detection, authorization, authentication, and other security features. The team is also expanding into vulnerability research, internal security productization, innovation incubation, and strategic partnerships. You'll join a distributed team of product managers who report to the VP of Product for Security and Compliance. You'll collaborate closely with engineering, design, go-to-market, and partnerships teams across time zones in an asynchronous, documentation-first way. Our focus is on elevating how we build and ship security capabilities within GitLab, improving how we coach and develop product managers in the section, and exploring new opportunities to turn internal security expertise and emerging ideas into products with strong market fit. • The base salary range for this role’s listed level is currently for residents of the United States only.
