Senior Executive Business Partner to CFO

An Overview of This Role

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. GitLab is moving deliberately toward faster, more focused execution and an AI-native operating model built around customer outcomes. This role sits at the center of that motion.

This is a high-trust, high-autonomy role for someone who brings both strong execution and sound judgment. You won't wait to be told what's needed, you'll anticipate it, shape it, and move on it. You'll help the CFO and the broader Office of the CFO operate with clarity, speed, and discipline in an environment where priorities shift, decisions have real stakes, and the quality of follow-through directly affects outcomes across the business.

This role goes beyond traditional executive support. You'll help run the Office of the CFO by owning its operating rhythms, reducing friction in how work gets done, and ensuring the right decisions get made by the right people at the right time with minimal unnecessary escalation or overhead.

You’ll work fluidly across tools including Google Workspace, Slack, Navan, Zoom, GitLab, and Claude to manage competing demands, synthesize information quickly, and keep high-value work moving.

What You'll Do

• Support the Chief Financial Officer with day-to-day operational and administrative needs across scheduling, communications, planning, and execution with a bias toward speed and accuracy.
• Maintain regular in-person availability in San Francisco, CA, reflecting the hands-on nature of executive support within an otherwise remote-first company.
• Manage complex calendars by vetting requests, prioritizing meetings, and making clear recommendations about tradeoffs protecting the CFO's time for the work that creates the most impact.
• 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, tightening cycles, and removing overhead wherever possible.
• Champion accountability and excellence across the EBA team while maintaining active coordination with the Office of the CRO to keep priorities aligned and support flowing across both functions.
