Responsibilities

  • Define and drive the governance model for AI across GitLab, including hierarchical policy controls, feature-level toggles, role-based access, data-handling settings, and model-selection preferences that give organizations the granularity they need

  • Translate customer and field feedback into clear problem statements, prioritized outcomes, and pragmatic releases that improve usability, manageability, and trust in AI-powered capabilities at scale

  • Operate as a technical, high-autonomy product leader, bringing clarity to ambiguous problem spaces, mentoring other product managers, and representing the governance perspective in broader AI product and platform decisions

Skills

  • Extensive product management experience owning complex, technical products end-to-end — from customer discovery and strategy through roadmap execution and delivery — ideally in B2B SaaS platforms
  • Proven experience building governance, admin, or control-plane products for AI, data, or platform capabilities, including policy management, access controls, configuration frameworks, and multi-tenant administration
  • Strong understanding of AI product lifecycle and enterprise adoption patterns, including how organizations evaluate, pilot, and scale AI capabilities and the governance requirements that gate each stage
  • Experience shipping enterprise readiness capabilities that drive broad adoption, such as admin settings, subscription and seat controls, usage analytics, audit logging, and policy-driven configuration
  • Working knowledge of security, compliance, and regulatory concepts as they relate to AI products, including data residency, model governance, access controls, auditability requirements, and emerging AI policy frameworks (e.g., EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF)
  • Ability to translate complex, technical concepts — model behavior, data flows, policy logic — into clear product requirements, customer-facing value, and internal alignment across cross-functional stakeholders
  • Strong customer empathy and experience partnering with enterprise customers, security teams, and compliance stakeholders to understand constraints, validate problems, and prioritize the highest-impact investments
