Remote, United States

Our take: The real work here is owning GitLab's corporate and compliance legal function as a strategic partner to the CFO and board, leading a team through governance, securities, equity, and M&A at public company scale.

If you have run corporate legal inside a public company and know what great governance looks like at scale, this is a chance to own the whole function and shape it. You will advise the CFO, the board, and the E-Group on the matters that truly move a company, build a globally distributed team, and lead the shift to AI-supported legal work. It suits someone who loves rigour and practical judgment in equal measure, and who wants the real seat at the table.
