Role Description

As Senior Executive Business Partner, you'll help GitLab's Chief Financial Officer stay focused on the work that matters most as the company enters a pivotal new chapter.

• Proactively manage inbound requests to the CFO by framing issues, surfacing options, and driving decisions forward, reducing handoffs and keeping accountability close to the work.
• Own and continuously improve the leadership cadences across the Office of the CFO, including staff meetings, planning rhythms, and other operating mechanisms.
• Champion accountability and excellence across the EBA team while maintaining active coordination with the Office of the CRO.
• Prepare agendas, briefing materials, and meeting content with enough lead time for thoughtful review.
• Track follow-ups, action items, and commitments across the CFO's direct reports and functional peers.
• Help the CFO maintain clear visibility into team progress, emerging issues, and customer-connected outcomes across the finance organization.
• Build trusted working relationships with leaders, direct reports, and key individual contributors.
• Partner with People Operations, IT, recruiting, and other Executive Business Partners to resolve logistics and provide coverage when needed.
• Plan and manage team meetings, onsites, and events, using AI tools to reduce routine work.
• Coordinate end-to-end travel logistics, including transportation, lodging, security, visas, and related documentation.
• Process expense reports and monitor reimbursements with accuracy and timely follow-through.
