An overview of this role

As the Senior Manager, End User Services at GitLab, you’ll own the global Team Member technology experience from day one onboarding through every day they’re here. Your team is the front door for Team Members across every region whenever they need help with the core SaaS tools that power their work, including Google Workspace, Slack, Okta, GitLab, Glean, and Zoom. You’ll lead a globally distributed team of EUS engineers, set the strategy for how we deliver support at scale, and partner closely with People Operations, Security, IT Engineering, and Workplace to make sure technology removes friction rather than creating it. This is a high-impact leadership role at an all-remote, async-first company where the quality of the Team Member experience directly shapes how productive our 2,900+ Team Members can be. You’ll be measured on Team Member satisfaction, operational excellence, and your ability to scale support through automation, AI, and well-designed processes rather than headcount. You’ll report into IT leadership and have visibility across the company on everything from new-hire experience to global office expansions and SaaS portfolio strategy.

About the team

End User Services sits at the heart of the Team Member experience at GitLab. We’re the team that makes sure every Team Member, on every continent, can sign in, collaborate, and focus on their work without IT getting in the way. We operate the way GitLab builds software: all-remote, async-first, transparent by default, and willing to iterate publicly on what works and what doesn’t. We measure ourselves on Team Member satisfaction and operational excellence, and we lean hard on automation and AI so the team can spend its energy on higher-leverage work. EUS partners closely with IT Engineering, Security, Workplace, and People to make GitLab a place where the tools just work.
