Remote, United States
Our take: The real work here is translating deep security and compliance expertise into answers, contracts, and content that help enterprise customers trust GitLab and help deals close.
If you love being the person customers trust with their hardest security questions, this role puts you at the exact point where technical architecture meets contract language and business reality. You will review agreements, negotiate terms, write whitepapers, and mentor a small team, all in the open and mostly on your own schedule. It suits someone who enjoys turning dense compliance frameworks into plain answers that help deals close and trust grow.
