• Experience working in a public company setting, including scaling compensation programs during periods of organizational change and growth.
• Strong analytical and modeling skills, with the ability to interpret market data, build scenarios, and translate findings into clear recommendations for diverse audiences.
• Attention to detail and accuracy when working with compensation data, market surveys, and job architecture frameworks.
• Clear and effective communication skills, with the ability to explain compensation concepts and decisions to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Alignment with GitLab’s values, including operating with integrity and maintaining confidentiality in all compensation matters.
