The same principles built into GitLab products are reflected in how the team works: embracing AI as a core productivity multiplier, with team members expected to incorporate AI into their daily workflows to drive efficiency, innovation, and impact.

As an Executive Assistant in the Office of the Chief Financial Officer (CFO), you’ll support multiple senior leaders in GitLab’s Finance Group, helping them focus on their priorities through proactive calendar, travel, and expense management. Reporting to the Senior Executive Business Partner to the CFO, you’ll be part of an integrated model that gives Finance leadership balanced, consistent support. You’ll work across time zones, help coordinate team events and projects, and partner with colleagues to keep day-to-day operations running smoothly.

The Executive Business Administration function supports GitLab leaders by creating the operational foundation for effective work in an all-remote, asynchronous environment. The Office of the CFO brings the CFO’s leadership team together under one operating model, using shared standards and templates, a common schedule of recurring activities, coordinated coverage, and a shared view of Finance leadership priorities.

GitLab offers benefits to support health, finances, and well-being, including flexible paid time off, Team Member Resource Groups, equity compensation and an employee stock purchase plan, a growth and development fund, parental leave, and home office support.
