Remote, United States
Our take: The real work here is negotiating and managing GitLab's most critical technology suppliers while shaping sourcing strategy alongside senior leaders.
If you get a quiet thrill from cracking a hard cloud contract and finding savings nobody else spotted, this is your kind of work. You will negotiate with major technology suppliers, shape sourcing strategy for GitLab's most senior technology leaders, and have a real hand in exploring how AI can sharpen procurement. It suits someone self-directed who likes owning big supplier relationships and speaking plainly to executives.
