An Overview of This Role
GitLab is seeking a VP of Finance Strategy & Operations to lead the strategic and operational evolution of our Finance function while serving as the CFO's chief operating partner as we scale as a public company. Reporting directly to the CFO, you will provide the operational framework and strategic rigor to help our Finance organization scale effectively. This means ensuring we have the right practices in place to prioritize, plan, and monitor the execution of our strategic objectives.
At its core, this role is Finance-led and Finance-owned. You will build and lead the Finance Strategy & Operations function, serving as a strategic advisor and sounding board to the Finance Leadership Team while driving GitLab's most consequential cross-functional initiatives. These include Lead-to-Cash optimization, our transition to a consumption-based business model, and global expansion strategy. You will partner closely with the CRO, CPO, CIO, and executive leadership team to ensure these programs are well-structured, well-governed, and deliver measurable business outcomes. Finance will set the agenda and hold the accountability.
You are a Finance-native leader who brings operational rigor, strategic clarity, and the ability to translate complex ideas into disciplined execution. You are equally comfortable influencing a Board-level strategy conversation and rolling up your sleeves to drive delivery in a fully distributed, async-first environment.
