GitLab - Senior Technical Program Manager, Office of the CTO

• Experience owning complex, cross-functional technical programs end-to-end, from scoping and kickoff through delivery and retrospective. • Ability to build relationships and drive alignment across Engineering, Product, Finance, Legal, and Go-to-Market stakeholders, including senior leaders. • Skill in establishing and maintaining program governance, including operating rhythms, status reporting, dependency tracking, and decision logs. • Strong written communication and async-first collaboration habits, with a default to clear documentation and written updates. • Analytical approach to identifying risks and dependencies, framing trade-offs, and presenting options and recommendations to stakeholders. • Working knowledge of the software development lifecycle and how engineering teams plan and deliver work; familiarity with DevOps practices and CI/CD pipelines is helpful. • Experience improving how programs run through playbooks, templates, retrospectives, and handbook documentation; transferable program leadership skills from adjacent roles are welcome. • You'll join GitLab's Research and Development (R&D) organization within the Engineering Division, partnering with Engineering and cross-functional groups like Product, Finance, Legal, and Go-to-Market to plan and deliver complex programs. The team's focus is making cross-functional execution predictable and transparent by improving program governance, managing dependencies and risk across multiple initiatives, and building operating rhythms that work in an all-remote, asynchronous environment. You'll collaborate with stakeholders across regions through documented plans, async status updates, and lightweight working groups, and you'll help strengthen how R&D programs run by capturing repeatable practices in the handbook.
