An overview of this role

This position is 100% remote and located in the United States.

GitLab is looking to hire a Strategic Finance Manager to our Strategic Finance team who specializes in Analytics & Insights. The team focuses on special projects like long range bookings forecasting, new product launches, and pricing strategy. The team also manages the forecast process for GitLab’s business cases and works on significant ad hoc strategy “deep dives” to influence critical business decisions. This role reports into a Director and will work closely with the Vice President of Finance and various business partners on financial analyses that drive GitLab’s earnings guidance and are presented to GitLab’s C-level executives and Board of Directors. The team collaborates cross-functionally with sales leaders, revenue operations, product, and marketing to perform financial and strategic analyses to support decision-making and accelerate growth.

This is the perfect role for an analytical team-player who wants to help grow new businesses from the ground up. The ideal candidate is scrappy, enjoys understanding metrics that drive the business, thrives in uncertainty and is capable of managing multiple projects at once.

  • Discover data gaps and provide requirements to Central Data team and Data teams on adjacent functions like Sales and Product for proper logging and data governance
  • Build strong relationships with business partners and develop actionable insights that uplift performance of each partner’s area on a measurable and meaningful basis
  • Some examples of projects this role will support from an analytics perspective:
    • Design long range financial model to forecast GitLab’s bookings in future fiscal years by ARR movement (new business, expansion, contraction, churn)
    • Build out business cases for new product offerings and partnerships; assist in governance with stakeholders from Finance, Product, Sales Strategy, Marketing, and Engineering
    • Analyze GitLab’s unit economics across different customer segments and geographies

What You'll Bring

  • 5+ years of experience in a B2B SaaS company in a similar role
  • Track record of strong performance in data analytics or a related field
  • Strong proficiency in SQL is required, with the ability to write complex queries, perform data extraction and manipulation, and maintain data integrity
  • Strong proficiency in SaaS related concepts (Bookings, SaaS Metrics, NDR) with experience extracting data from Salesforce is required
  • Experience with data visualization tools such as Tableau is a major plus
  • The ability to thrive in a fast-moving work environment and solve ambiguous, challenging problems
  • Self starter with an ownership mentality

Safe Remote Job Search Tips

Verify Employer Thoroughly

Research the company's identity thoroughly before applying. Check for a professional website with contacts, active social media, and LinkedIn profiles. Verify details across platforms and look for reviews on Glassdoor or Trustpilot to confirm legitimacy.

Never Pay to Get a Job

Legitimate employers never require payment for applications, training, background checks, or equipment. Always reject upfront payment requests or demands for bank details, even if they claim it's for purchasing necessary work gear on your behalf.

Safeguard Your Personal Information

Protect sensitive data like SSN, bank details, or ID copies. Share this only after accepting a formal, written job offer. Ensure it's submitted via a secure company system or portal, never through insecure channels like standard email attachments.

Scrutinize Communication & Interviews

Watch for communication red flags: poor grammar, generic emails (@gmail), vague details, or undue pressure. Be highly suspicious of interviews held only via text or chat apps; legitimate companies typically use video or phone calls.

Beware of Unrealistic Offers

If an offer's salary or benefits seem unrealistically high for the work involved, be cautious. Research standard pay for similar roles. Offers that appear 'too good to be true' are often scams designed to lure you into providing information or payment.

Insist on a Formal Contract

Always secure and review a formal, written job offer or employment contract before starting work or sharing final personal details. Ensure it clearly defines your role, compensation, key terms, and conditions to avoid misunderstandings or scams.
