About The Position

As a Procurement Analyst, you'll help GitLab teams move purchasing requests forward by owning the end-to-end procurement process for lower value, lower risk vendor engagements. You'll support teams across the business with a focus on Marketing Sponsorships, Field Events, and Corporate Events contracts, serve as a go-to resource for procurement questions, and use data to improve how spend, contracts, and reporting are managed. This role reports to the Manager of Procurement and is a good fit for someone who enjoys combining process ownership, stakeholder support, and analysis in a fast-moving, all-remote environment. You'll be a key operator in Zip, GitLab's procurement system, and help create a more consistent and efficient experience for internal stakeholders. In your first year, you'll be expected to strengthen day-to-day procurement operations, improve visibility through key performance indicator reporting and spend analysis, and support the business with purchasing needs. This is a fully remote role that requires meaningful overlap with Pacific Time Zone business hours.
