As a Senior Program Manager, you will help build the process architecture for GitLab’s People Operations team. This role reports to the hiring manager and is part of how we are bringing structure to a fast-growing function that supports onboarding, offboarding, internal movement, team member questions, and Workday-related operations. You will focus on documenting current state processes, designing future state workflows, and creating a practical roadmap that helps the team scale in a more efficient and sustainable way.
This is a strong fit if you want to shape how a core People function works across teams. You will map end-to-end processes across People Operations and partner teams, identify gaps and handoffs, and help define a clearer service delivery framework as GitLab grows. You’ll work across technical and non-technical groups and help turn complex workflows into designs that are easier to understand, improve, and maintain.
This is an all-remote role working across time zones with stakeholders in People Ops, People Technology, Finance, Legal, IT, and leadership. You’ll operate in GitLab’s handbook-first, async-by-default culture, where the process documentation, KBAs, and SOPs you create are core to how the function works. This role is central to People Operations’ shift toward a more structured, scalable, and data-informed operating model, and the process architecture you build will help create a durable foundation for the team’s future growth.
