An overview of this role

As an Executive Business Administrator, you'll provide strategic, high-impact support to four senior leaders in GitLab's People Group: the VP of Total Rewards, VP of Talent Acquisition, VP of People Strategy and Engagement, and VP of Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging. You'll create leverage for these executives by managing complex calendars and travel across time zones, planning key team events, supporting recruiting and onboarding activities, and staying ahead of what's needed so they can focus on leading and scaling our GitLab team.

In your first year, you'll establish trusted partnerships with each VP, bring consistency and reliability to their operations, and contribute to the broader EBA community by sharing best practices and stepping in to support other executives when required.

Proficiency with Google Workspace, Zoom, Slack, Navan, and related tools and processes such as purchase orders, with the ability to quickly learn new technical tools.

History of building strong, collaborative relationships across teams, including partnering effectively with other Executive Business Administrators and stakeholders at all levels.
Experience supporting recruiting activities, including coordinating interviews, liaising between candidates and hiring teams, and assisting with onboarding logistics.
