GitLab is an open-core software company that develops the intelligent orchestration platform for DevSecOps, used by more than 100,000 organizations and 50 million people. Our mission is to unlock every team to ship trusted software at the speed of imagination. Software is increasingly built by machines and directed by people. When agentic coding tools accelerate without context, governance, and lifecycle control, teams get speed with chaos. GitLab enables speed with control: customers deploy agents across the software development lifecycle (SDLC) with the orchestration, context, security, and governance to ship trusted software at scale. The same principles show up in how we work. We build a culture of excellence around Speed with Quality, Ownership Mindset, and Customer Outcomes, and we treat AI as a core productivity multiplier. Every team member is expected to put AI into daily workflows to move faster without losing control. GitLab is where careers accelerate, innovation flourishes, and every voice is valued. An overview of this role As Principal Program Manager, Go-To-Market, you own two equal pillars of go-to-market execution for Product & Technical Marketing (PTM). First, you are the strategic and hands-on architect behind GitLab's high-stakes minor and major launches, redesigning the launch operating model with AI agents at its core so customers discover, adopt, and experience GitLab with precision. Second, you run program management on key initiatives that span Product Management and Product Design through Growth Marketing, Comms and Social, and Field Enablement, wherever those motions depend on PTM. PTM team is responsible for product and solutions marketing, technical writing and documentation, developer advocacy, and globalization, and acts as the glue between these functions across a variety of go-to-market initiatives. You are AI-first by default. When programs still run on many manual steps, you convert that work into team-wide AI workflows, either by shipping the automations yourself or by partnering with the AI Transformation Owner (ATO) for the marketing organization to drive shared skills, adoption, and governance. You are not a reactive deadline chaser. You drive solutions with stakeholders as dates approach, design decision stages so tradeoffs land early, and redesign stages and workflows when product roadmap, growth priorities, or major launch decisions change. You create clarity in ambiguity: frame the problem, present options and tradeoffs, name owners, and optimize for decision velocity. In your first year, you institutionalize a dual operating system: a scalable launch framework for 15+ minor and major launches per year, and a portfolio program practice that maps dependencies from Product and Design through PTM into Growth, Comms, and Field. You ship production agent workflows that cut manual coordination, establish benchmarks for quality, and make go-to-market program management achieve relevance in the AI era, and become a trusted partner across the organization.
