Reduce time to insight as customers grow.</li><li>Prioritize dashboards and insight workflows for software leaders so they can measure deployment frequency, cycle time, value stream management, AI feature impact, and AI cost and ROI in GitLab.</li><li>Champion the needs of engineering leaders and executive users, translating how they actually consume data, often live in a meeting under time pressure, into product decisions and roadmap priorities.</li><li>Enable internal teams such as sales, customer success, and data engineering to build, share, and use dashboards that support customer-facing work and improve the speed and consistency of customer reporting.</li><li>Drive a clear and consistent analytics narrative across product, marketing, and analyst conversations through close cross-functional partnership, improving launch readiness and market understanding.</li></ul><strong><strong>What you'll bring</strong></strong><br/><ul><li>Experience defining product vision and driving execution across complex, multi-team product programs.</li><li>Background building analytics, dashboard, or business intelligence products for software engineering, DevOps, or technical leadership users.</li><li>Knowledge of the software development lifecycle and common engineering performance measures such as DORA metrics, value stream metrics, and cycle time.</li><li>Working understanding of data infrastructure, data pipelines, APIs, and business intelligence tooling, with the ability to partner effectively with data engineering teams.</li><li>Ability to turn ambiguous customer problems into clear product requirements, prioritization decisions, and roadmap direction.</li><li>Skill influencing across engineering, design, sales, customer success, and data teams in a distributed environment without relying on formal authority.</li><li>Familiarity with AI-powered analytics experiences, conversational interfaces, knowledge graph concepts, or related data exploration approaches.</li><li>Comfort bringing transferable experience from adjacent product areas if you have worked on technically complex products and can speak fluently about data and customer workflows.</li></ul><strong><strong>About the team</strong></strong><br/><br/>This team builds the analytics and insights capabilities that help customers understand software delivery performance within GitLab. The work spans platform foundations and user-facing experiences, bringing together product, engineering, and partner teams to support dashboards, connected data, and emerging AI-based ways to explore insight.
