As a Technical Program Manager in GitLab's R&D organization, you'll lead cross-functional initiatives that help teams deliver reliably, efficiently, and at scale, owning programs that cut across multiple product stages and engineering teams.

- Partner with engineering leaders and other key stakeholders to align on goals, timelines, and delivery milestones for cross functional initiatives.
- Own end-to-end program planning and execution, from initial discovery and scoping through delivery, measurement, and retrospectives.
- Drive asynchronous collaboration using GitLab issues, epics, and handbook updates so globally distributed teams stay aligned and informed.
- Identify risks and blockers early, coordinate resolution across teams, and escalate when needed to maintain momentum.
- Facilitate working group meetings and async discussions to support decision-making, surface tradeoffs, and keep programs on track.
- Track and communicate program health through metrics, dashboards, and regular status updates to provide visibility to the Engineering Division and partners.
- Contribute to evolving Technical Program Management practices by documenting processes, sharing learnings, and improving how R&D programs run across GitLab.
