  • Establish and maintain a strong team culture by fostering collaboration, setting a high bar for excellence, and creating an environment where team members feel supported and empowered to grow.
  • Drive forecasting accuracy and business visibility by ensuring your team understands renewal methodologies and delivers predictable month-over-month and quarter-over-quarter forecasts within a 5% accuracy range.
  • Partner closely with cross-functional leaders including Sales AVPs, Regional Directors, Customer Success Managers, and Renewals Operations to align on strategy, identify renewal risks, and execute mitigation plans for at-risk accounts.
  • Guide your team in leveraging data and tools such as Salesforce and Gainsight to monitor customer health, adoption trends, and revenue impact, enabling data-driven decision-making and strategic account interventions.
  • Lead your team's engagement in forecasting calls, account reviews, and best practice sessions to share learnings, celebrate wins, and collectively drive renewal KPIs including 70%+ retention rates and strong on-time renewal performance.
  • Develop product knowledge and business acumen within your team, ensuring they understand GitLab's value proposition, competitive positioning, and how to navigate customer escalations and complex negotiations with confidence.
  • Model a customer-centric mindset and empathetic approach, demonstrating how to balance business metrics with genuine concern for customer success and long-term relationship building.
  • Leverage tools daily (such as Gainsight, Gong, and Claude) to generate insights and create compelling reports and presentations that tell the story of your team's performance and inform strategic decisions.
  • What You'll Bring

  • Proven leadership experience managing and developing high-performing teams with strong coaching and mentoring abilities.
  • Deep understanding of renewal forecasting methodologies and ability to translate customer health metrics into accurate business forecasting.
  • Experience partnering strategically with sales leadership on renewal strategy, forecast planning, and customer retention initiatives.
  • Proficiency with Salesforce, including ability to build reports and create analytics-driven presentations.
  • Familiarity with customer success platforms (e.g., Gainsight) and call intelligence tools (e.g., Gong).
  • Strong business acumen and ability to navigate complex customer conversations, escalations, and negotiations while maintaining relationships.
  • Foundational knowledge of GitLab's product, value proposition, and DevSecOps approach.
  • Exceptional communication and presentation skills to articulate strategy and insights to cross-functional partners.
  • Customer-centric mindset with empathy and commitment to delivering excellent experiences while achieving business metrics.
  • Background in renewals, customer success, or sales operations preferred; candidates with transferable leadership experience in revenue operations are welcome.
