GitLab is seeking a Senior Executive Business Partner to support the Chief Financial Officer in a high-trust, high-autonomy role. This position sits at the center of GitLab's transition toward faster, more focused execution and an AI-native operating model.
You will serve as an operational leader for the Office of the CFO, going beyond traditional executive support to help run the function with clarity, speed, and discipline. Your responsibilities include:
• Managing the CFO's complex calendar by vetting requests, prioritizing meetings, and protecting time for high-impact work
• Proactively managing inbound requests by framing issues, surfacing options, and driving decisions forward
• Owning and continuously improving leadership cadences across the Office of the CFO, including staff meetings and planning rhythms
• Championing accountability across the EBA team while coordinating with the Office of the CRO
• Preparing agendas, briefing materials, and meeting content with sufficient lead time for thoughtful review
• Tracking follow-ups, action items, and commitments across the CFO's direct reports and functional peers
• Maintaining visibility into team progress, emerging issues, and customer-connected outcomes across finance
• Building trusted working relationships with leaders and key contributors
• Partnering with People Operations, IT, recruiting, and other EBAs on logistics, interviews, onboarding, and coverage
• Planning and managing team meetings, onsites, and events with full ownership of agenda, prep, note-taking, and action tracking
• Coordinating end-to-end travel logistics including transportation, lodging, security, visas, and documentation
• Processing expense reports and monitoring reimbursements
You will work fluidly across Google Workspace, Slack, Navan, Zoom, GitLab, and Claude to manage competing demands and synthesize information quickly. While the role is remote-first, you must maintain regular in-person availability in San Francisco, CA to meet the CFO's needs.
GitLab is the intelligent orchestration platform for DevSecOps, trusted by more than 50 million registered users and over 50% of the Fortune 100. The company embraces AI as a core productivity multiplier, with all team members expected to incorporate AI into their daily workflows.
REQUIREMENTS:
• Experience supporting senior executives in fast-moving environments with judgment to navigate shifting priorities, sensitive matters, and ambiguity
• Ownership-driven working style: anticipate needs, make calls independently, escalate only when necessary
• Ability to move quickly without sacrificing quality; disciplined execution and high follow-through standards
• Willingness to provide regular in-person support in San Francisco, CA
• Comfort operating in leaner, more empowered structures where fewer people own more
• Strong executive communication skills including synthesizing information, framing recommendations clearly, and ensuring right content reaches right people at right time
• Demonstrated instinct for connecting operational work to real outcomes, not just completing tasks
• Strong interpersonal skills and ability to build trusted relationships while maintaining discretion with confidential information
• Fluency with Google Workspace, Slack, Zoom, Navan, and GitLab; comfort using AI tools to improve productivity
• Collaborative, self-directed approach with transferable judgment and initiative
