• Build representative candidate pipelines with meaningful focus on identifying talent from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences, building proactive benches across several key territories for GitLab.
• Partner with recruiters and hiring managers to understand role requirements, business priorities, and ideal candidate profiles.
• Map talent markets and gather intelligence on competitors, locations, and candidate pools to inform sourcing strategies.
• Assess candidate alignment for specific roles, teams, and GitLab's values, and share clear recommendations with recruiting partners.

The Talent Acquisition team at GitLab helps the company grow by finding people who can contribute to our mission and thrive in our all-remote environment.

The team values clear communication, strong market insight, and steady iteration in how we work. This role is especially important as GitLab continues to grow go-to-market teams in AMER, where strong regional knowledge and effective collaboration across time zones can help teams hire with more focus and confidence.
