About The Position

As a Senior Executive Assistant in GitLab's Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) organization, you will support the VP, Global Solution Architects and the VP, High Velocity Sales & Sales Development. You will help both leaders focus on customer value by managing shifting priorities, anticipating logistical needs, and following through on commitments. The role includes building trusted relationships and reliable processes for scheduling, meeting preparation, travel, events, recruiting coordination, and expenses. You will participate in team discussions, identify next steps, and keep both leaders informed as work progresses. The position is US-based, with a preference for Central or Eastern time zones. Pacific time zone candidates are also welcome, with flexibility to support leaders and teams across global time zones. GitLab describes its roles as remote, though some roles may have location-based eligibility requirements. You will join GitLab's CRO organization and collaborate with a globally distributed group of executive support professionals through asynchronous communication, clear documentation, shared processes, and cross-functional partnership. The position focuses on dependable support for both VPs, keeping priorities clear, coordinating global travel and events, and ensuring commitments are completed and communicated as plans change. GitLab expects team members to incorporate AI into their daily workflows and to verify AI-generated outputs for accuracy, context, and usefulness.

Requirements

Experience supporting multiple senior leaders or VP-level executives simultaneously in a technology company, and ability to learn their working styles and business priorities.
Bias for action and ownership: recognize what needs to happen, act independently within agreed priorities, and communicate progress and completion without repeated prompting.
Experience managing complex calendars across time zones, exercising judgment about competing requests, and checking scheduling details and attendees.
Skill in coordinating domestic and international travel and team events, anticipating dependencies, responding to disruptions, and confirming arrangements.
Proficiency with tools such as Google Workspace, Slack, Zoom, Navan, Claude, and GitLab, along with experience in expense reporting, recruiting coordination, and onboarding logistics.
Clear, approachable communication across functions and levels; sound judgment with confidential information; and ability to build trusted working relationships.
Practical experience using AI tools to improve administrative work, with the judgment to validate outputs, capture context, and retain responsibility for the result.
An organized, reliable approach to balancing priorities across two leaders and their teams.

Coordinate domestic and international travel, including flights, ground transportation, lodging, security needs, and documentation; anticipate disruptions and arrange alternatives when plans change.
Plan and execute off-sites, team-building activities, and company kickoffs, coordinating with event partners and confirming reservations, deposits, and logistics through completion.
