What the job involves
- GitLab is looking to hire a Manager to our Strategic Finance team who specializes in Analytics & Insights

- 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
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 capitalize on the recent trend toward rapid digital transformation and remote working. This trend is expected to continue 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.
