Job description

Executive Assistant to CFO at GitLab | $133K — Remote

Career Opportunity: Executive Admin at a High-Profile Public Tech Company

This role sits inside the Office of the CFO at a publicly traded, globally recognized DevSecOps company — a rare and high-visibility placement for an Executive Assistant. Exposure to C-suite finance operations, insider trading policies, and VP-level priorities builds institutional knowledge that is highly transferable to Chief of Staff, Operations, or Senior EA roles at other tech companies.

Compensation context: The $78,400–$133,200 USD range is competitive — above the US national median for Executive Assistants (~$65K–$85K) and reflects GitLab's public-company scale and all-remote premium. The range's breadth suggests room to negotiate based on CFO/public company experience.

AI-augmented administrative workflows — a genuinely emerging and in-demand skill set
Multi-executive support coordination in a distributed, async environment
Handling material non-public information (MNPI) and public company compliance protocols
Cross-functional stakeholder management at VP and C-suite level

Green flags: GitLab's transparent handbook culture, genuine async-first philosophy, equity compensation, and growth fund signal a mature remote-work employer that invests in employees. The structured team model (shared templates, common schedules) reduces chaos common in EA roles.

Watch for: Calendar management across all US time zones and occasional international travel suggest the role can be demanding in terms of availability. Setting boundaries early will be important for long-term sustainability.

GitLab is the intelligent orchestration platform for DevSecOps. GitLab enables organizations to increase developer productivity, improve operational efficiency, reduce security and compliance risk, and accelerate digital transformation.

An overview of this role

As an Executive Assistant in the Office of the Chief Financial Officer (CFO), you'll support multiple senior leaders in GitLab's Finance Group, helping them focus on their priorities through proactive calendar, travel, and expense management. Reporting to the Senior Executive Business Partner to the CFO, you'll be part of an integrated model that gives Finance leadership balanced, consistent support. You'll work across time zones, help coordinate team events and projects, and partner with colleagues to keep day-to-day operations running smoothly.

What you'll do

Proactively manage complex calendars across multiple time zones.
Coordinate domestic and international travel, including flights, hotels, and visas where applicable.
Manage expense reporting and reconciliation for each executive accurately and on time, following GitLab's travel and expense policies.
Support the Senior Executive Business Partner in coordinating Finance leadership's recurring activities, including maintaining shared Office of the CFO resources, distribution lists, Slack channels, and shared calendars.
Help plan team events, off-sites, and large meetings with cross-functional partners and the Senior Executive Business Partner.
Handle highly confidential financial, personnel, and material non-public information with discretion, following GitLab's insider trading and quiet period policies.
Provide coverage and backup for the CFO's Senior Executive Business Partner.

What you'll bring

Experience providing executive-level administrative support in a fast-paced environment and supporting multiple senior leaders at once, tailoring your approach to each leader while maintaining consistent support. Public company or Office of the CFO or Chief Executive Officer experience is a plus.
Proficiency with Google Workspace, Zoom, Slack, Navan, and related tools and processes, such as purchase orders, with the ability to learn new technical tools quickly.
Experience working independently, moving quickly between tasks, and using sound judgment to prioritize, solve problems, and anticipate executive needs, including knowing when to escape competing vice president priorities to the Office of the CFO.
Strong organizational and communication skills, attention to detail, and the ability to build collaborative relationships across teams, including with other Executive Business Administrators and stakeholders at all levels.
Experience using artificial intelligence (AI) to make day-to-day operations more efficient while protecting information and maintaining confidentiality.
Ability to work in an all-remote, distributed environment, with a willingness to help others and contribute to a positive, one-team culture.
Ability and willingness to travel occasionally, both domestically and internationally, to support executives, team off-sites, and key events.

We value diverse backgrounds and transferable experience.
