The opportunity
Strategic Finance is GitLab's cross-functional problem-solving and incubation team. The team takes on the chief financial officer's and chief executive officer's hardest, most ambiguous problems when no natural owner yet has the capability to solve them.
What you'll do
Translate GitLab's long-range strategy into financial scenarios, capacity: plans, and investment choices that inform the annual operating plan.
Own company-wide initiatives, such as sales and engineering capacity, hosting: costs, or product pricing, from problem definition through decision, execution, and handoff to the long-term owner.
Build and evolve pricing, packaging, and discounting frameworks using unit: economics and market context. Give Sales practical tools, including recommended deal structures, minimum acceptable economics, and clear escalation paths.
Partner with Deal Desk to model non-standard and enterprise deals. Advise on: financial terms and trade-offs for large, multi-year, usage-based, and partner-led agreements.
Design dashboards, budget unlocks, and investment gates that replace one-off: approvals with clear guardrails operators can act on independently.
Work across Finance, Sales, Product, Engineering, and Data to solve problems: that span functions or don't yet have a natural long-term owner.
What they're looking for
- Build the analytical and modeling capability needed for executive decisions.: Move beyond requested analysis to proactive, prioritized recommendations, and turn complex models into clear recommendations for the chief executive officer, chief financial officer, and senior leadership.
- Use artificial intelligence and automation to reduce manual data preparation: and expand the team's capacity for insight and execution.
