- Reporting to the Senior Director, Stock Administration, you'll help mature and scale our equity operations across restricted stock units (RSUs), performance stock units (PSUs), and the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP)
- Over your first year, you'll streamline processes, improve reporting and team member education, and strengthen audit readiness in a rigorous external audit environment
- Administer GitLab's global equity programs by processing restricted stock unit (RSU) and performance stock unit (PSU) share releases, Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) activity, and other equity transactions accurately and on time

Our take
GitLab is an open-source collaboration platform for developers. It enables teams to build code quickly from anywhere without compromising on security or quality. GitLab already has an estimated 30M+ users from all over the world.
According to a 2021 GitLab report, 60% of developers can release code 2x faster with DevOps platforms that bring teams together and accelerate processes. It stands out by catering to programmers of all experiences. Gitlab's version control system helps streamline the process of creating, maintaining, and deploying code, whoever you are.
GitLab was in the right place to capitalise on the recent trend toward rapid digital transformation and remote working. This trend is expected to grow, and with it, GitLab's popularity. With its successful 2021 IPO and the patronage of major brands such as Nasdaq and Jaguar Land Rover, GitLab is expected to solidify its position as the go-to platform for development teams.
