Senior

Lead GitLab's customer trust function — security questionnaires, contract terms, and governance metrics at scale

Reporting to the VP of Security Assurance, this role owns customer-facing security support (questionnaires, RFPs, contract negotiation), security policy governance, and the metrics/awareness program — a people-leadership and cross-functional-influence role, not a hands-on security engineering one. US citizenship is required.
