An overview of this role

As a Strategic Account Executive, you'll help drive GitLab's growth across U.S. Federal Systems Integrators at a time when government teams are modernizing how they build, secure, and deliver software. You'll align GitLab's AI-powered DevSecOps platform with company priorities such as secure software delivery, continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) automation, and infrastructure modernization in regulated environments. Reporting to a Regional Director, you'll own a strategic book of business, and we'll rely on you to help company leaders connect software modernization efforts to mission outcomes that improve products and services for Federal agencies.

This is a role with clear ownership and visible impact. You will work directly with corporate leaders and technical stakeholders, shape long-term account plans, and guide adoption from early conversations through rollout. This role is part of GitLab's AMER Public Sector Enterprise team and benefits from proximity to the Washington, DC area for on-site company meetings, or willingness to travel as needed.
