Job Description

• Partner directly with the CFO, VP Finance, and FP&A team to deliver high-impact analytical insights that inform strategic financial and business decisions. • Design and execute sophisticated analytical frameworks to evaluate GitLab's financial performance, unit economics, market opportunities, and strategic options. • Translate complex financial, operational, and statistical analyses into clear, concise, and actionable recommendations for executive audiences, especially finance leaders. • Develop, maintain, and continuously improve executive-level dashboards and reporting that provide real-time visibility into key financial metrics, strategic KPIs, and business trends. • Lead and develop a team of 3 direct reports, owning end-to-end delivery of high-priority analytics projects while remaining deeply hands-on with analysis, modeling, and visualization. • Collaborate cross-functionally with central data, finance, product, marketing, sales, and engineering teams to connect data from multiple sources and deliver integrated, company-wide insights. • Build strong, trusted relationships with C-level executives and senior leaders by anticipating information needs, proactively surfacing insights, and following through on commitments. • Present analytical findings and strategic recommendations with clarity and impact, tailoring your communication style to non-technical executive stakeholders and cross-functional partners. • Help shape best practices for how GitLab uses SQL, statistical analysis, and data visualization tools to understand performance, identify trends, and support data-driven financial decision making.

  • A track record of building and maintaining strong relationships with C-level leaders and cross-functional partners across central data, finance, product, marketing, sales, and engineering.
  • Experience leading and developing high-performing analytics teams, including providing coaching, feedback, and mentorship while remaining hands-on with analysis and problem solving.
  • Familiarity with the metrics and dynamics that drive SaaS, technology, and other high-growth businesses, and how they inform financial and strategic decisions.
