Lead Project Manager, CRO Programs

GitLab is the intelligent orchestration platform for DevSecOps, enabling organizations to enhance developer productivity and operational efficiency. The Lead Project Manager for CRO Programs will coordinate multiple initiatives within the Revenue organization, ensuring clarity and execution of strategic priorities.

Responsibilities:

• Own execution visibility across CRO initiatives — proactively surfacing stalled work, unclear ownership and ensuring CRO leadership has reliable, real-time insight into progress
• Lead coordination for multiple CRO-level strategic initiatives, keeping deliverables, owners, dependencies, due dates, and status clear and current
• Drive information architecture across initiatives — establishing shared standards for how work is tracked, communicated, and accessed
• Drive follow-through from leadership meetings by capturing decisions, action items, and next steps, then tracking completion through to delivery
• Collaborate with senior stakeholders across Sales, Revenue Strategy and Operations, Ecosystem, Enablement, Finance, and People to keep work moving and priorities aligned
• Translate executive direction into actionable workstreams, quickly moving from 'what' to 'who does what by when' with just enough structure to maintain momentum
• Surface risks early by identifying blockers, unclear ownership, competing priorities, and slippage, and driving resolution or escalating with clear recommendations
• Maintain momentum through regular check-ins, concise status updates, and stakeholder touchpoints, adjusting plans as priorities shift
• Own the operating cadence including tracking initiative progress, managing reporting timelines, coordinating submissions, and maintaining administrative hygiene so leadership has consistent, accurate status
• Hold partners accountable without direct authority by following up diplomatically and persistently, and ensuring commitments do not fall through the cracks
• Provide clear, audience-aware communication by distilling complex work into executive-ready summaries and execution-level guidance

Requirements:

• Experience coordinating complex, cross-functional strategic initiatives, tracking owners, dependencies, timelines, and deliverables through to completion
• Ability to drive follow-through from senior stakeholders without direct authority, including documenting decisions, capturing action items, and escalating when needed
• Comfort operating in ambiguity and shifting priorities, translating executive direction into clear workstreams and next steps
• Strong organizational judgment, including sequencing work, identifying risks early, and applying 'just enough' process to maintain momentum
• Clear, concise communication skills, with the ability to tailor status updates for executives and provide actionable detail for execution teams
• Familiarity working in or closely with revenue-facing teams (Sales, revenue strategy and operations, go-to-market functions), and understanding how their operating rhythms work
• Experience building or improving workflow systems — using automation, shared documentation standards, or project management tooling to create visibility
• Pragmatic use of project management tools to create visibility and accountability, not overhead
• An accountability mindset and collaborative approach that can come from program management, operations, or other transferable backgrounds that fit the work
