Your team drives comprehensive, governed rollouts of GitLab's security capabilities across every project, applying our own product the way our customers do, and builds proactive software supply chain security as a first-class capability within Product Security. This is Customer Zero work with real reach. Where the team hits friction adopting our own features at scale, that signal goes straight to Product and Engineering as an early read on what customers will experience. Where it succeeds, it becomes the story of how GitLab secures its own software factory, told publicly and used by our go-to-market teams. You will own the direction, delivery, and growth of this team. You set priorities toward the highest-leverage work, build the team out while it is still forming, and create the conditions for engineers to do their best work. ### What You’ll Do - Lead comprehensive, governed rollouts of GitLab's own security capabilities across the estate, bringing every project into alignment with our Project Security Configuration Standard and keeping it there. - Set a security baseline that accelerates engineering rather than gating it, so teams inherit secure defaults and paved paths instead of negotiating requirements project by project. - Serve as Customer Zero for GitLab's security features: capture where adoption at scale is hard, and feed that evidence to Product and Engineering as a leading indicator of customer sentiment and a driver of roadmap decisions. - Establish proactive software supply chain security as a first-class capability in Product Security, including third party component governance, trusted dependency controls, and the requirements behind product-level SBOMs. - Reduce systemic risk across our own groups and namespaces, including lateral movement and token governance. - Own the operations of the Product Security Risk Register and the metrics and dashboards that give the department a single, data-driven view of our posture. - Partner with Compliance to produce evidence of our security control implementation for audits, certifications, and internal security maturity assessments, so the same work that hardens the estate also satisfies the auditors. - Represent this work externally, contributing thought leadership on how GitLab secures its own software factory that strengthens our go-to-market narrative and customer trust. - Lead, coach, and grow the team, and shape how it operates as it forms. ### What You’ll Bring - Experience managing a security or engineering team, including hiring, performance, and career development. - Technical fluency across security posture management, software supply chain security, and secure configuration of a large SaaS estate, enough to guide prioritization, coach the team, and get hands-on when necessary. - A track record of driving broad, governed rollouts of security capability across an engineering organization you do not own, and sustaining adoption after launch. - Experience translating security requirements into controls that engineering teams can meet without slowing down. - Familiarity with producing control evidence for audit, certification, or maturity assessment, and partnering with Compliance or GRC counterparts. - Ability to drive measurable impact under high ambiguity, including building the organizational buy-in to get there. - Ability to break large problems into iterative wins that ship and compound. - Sound judgment and strong written communication leading in an all-remote, async environment.

Additionally, studies have shown that people from underrepresented groups are less likely to apply to a job unless they meet every single qualification.
