Remote, Japan
Our take: The real work here is being the trusted senior advisor who turns ambiguous enterprise goals into measurable success plans, owns the hardest escalations, and guides Japan's most strategic customers through long-term DevSecOps transformation.
If you are the person other senior people call when an enterprise account is genuinely on fire, this role puts that instinct to work across GitLab's most strategic accounts in Japan. You will advise VP and C-level leaders on long-term platform strategy, lead the hard cross-team escalations, and turn ambiguous business goals into success plans with numbers that prove they landed. It suits someone who loves owning outcomes end to end, thrives in ambiguity, and finds real satisfaction in watching a customer's maturity climb because of work you drove.
