Group Product Manager, Manage

We're looking for a Group Manager, Product that can help us work on the future of developer tools. You will play a key role in defining our product strategy for our Manage stage which includes Authentication, Compliance, Workspace, Optimize, and Import. There are a million things we can and want to improve about GitLab. It'll be your job to work out what we are going to do and how.

We believe developers deserve an intuitive, single application that covers the entire DevOps lifecycle. We believe running tests is just the beginning of automation. We believe deploying and monitoring your code should be automated and repeatable, and most of all, easy. We believe in pushing the boundaries of best-practices, and bringing these to every developer, so that doing the right thing is also the easy, default way of working.

We work in quite a unique way at GitLab, where lots of flexibility and independence is mixed with a high paced, pragmatic way of working. And everything we do is in the open. We recommend looking at our company page and the product handbook to get started.
