An overview of this role As the Senior Director, Deal Desk, you will lead GitLab's global Deal Desk organization and help evolve it from a strong quote-to-cash control point into a strategic commercial capability that helps GitLab structure, approve, operationalize, and win complex subscription and consumption-based deals at scale. You will oversee the global approach to deal structure, bookings reconciliations, and Salesforce bookings fidelity, while serving as a trusted partner to Sales and Finance leaders. In this role, you will help define how GitLab brings newer pricing and packaging models to market, including usage-based and hybrid motions, while keeping commercial processes simple, scalable, auditable, and aligned to GitLab's value-based pricing philosophy. You will work across Sales, Finance, Product, Pricing, Legal, Sales Operations, Enterprise Applications, Fulfillment, and Customer Experience to set commercial guardrails, approvals, systems requirements, and field enablement that support GitLab's transition toward a consumption-first go-to-market model. This is a high-impact leadership opportunity for someone who can connect commercial strategy with operational execution. In your first year, you will shape how GitLab supports complex deals globally, improve consistency across processes and systems, and strengthen the operating model that enables the field to move faster without compromising policy, margin, or customer experience.
