An overview of this role

As a Manager, Customer Success Operations at GitLab, you will own the operational processes, reporting, and programs that support our Customer Success Management (CSM) function. Reporting to the Senior Manager of Sales & CX Operations, you will partner closely with CS leadership, Revenue Strategy & Operations, Finance, and Sales to build the foundations that help our CS team operate effectively at scale.

This is a role for a sharp, curious operator who thrives in ambiguity, connects dots across teams, and moves quickly from problem to solution. You will work in GitLab's all-remote, values-driven environment where documentation, iteration, and cross-functional partnership are core to how we work.

What You’ll Do  

  • Own the core operational cadences that support the CS organization, including pipeline and renewal reviews, customer health reporting, and book of business management.
  • Translate ambiguous business questions from CS leadership into clear problem statements, then drive them to resolution through process, reporting, or systems changes.
  • Partner with Revenue Technology and Revenue Analytics to evolve the systems, data, and reporting CSMs rely on day to day.
  • Build cross-functional alignment with Sales, Finance, and other Revenue Strategy & Operations teams to operationalize go-to-market changes that affect Customer Success.
  • Identify friction in existing processes and lead improvement efforts end to end, from diagnosis through rollout and adoption.
  • Support CS leadership in planning cycles, including capacity modeling, segmentation, territory and coverage planning, and target setting.
  • Contribute to broader Revenue Operations initiatives where the CS perspective is needed.

What You’ll Bring 

  • 4+ years of experience in Sales Operations, Revenue Operations, management consulting, strategy, or a similar analytical and problem-solving role.
  • Strong critical thinking and structured problem solving. You can break down ambiguous problems into clear workstreams and move them forward.
  • Bias toward execution. You move from analysis to action quickly and follow through to outcomes that stick.
  • Systems thinking. You understand how a change in one part of the go-to-market motion ripples through to others, and you design solutions accordingly.
  • Strong cross-functional collaboration skills. You build trust with stakeholders at all levels and influence without direct authority.
  • Curiosity and aptitude to pick up new domains, tools, and concepts quickly. We care more about how you think than which specific tools you have used.
  • Comfort operating in a scaling environment where not everything is defined and structure must be created.

About the team

The Sales and CX Operations team sits within the Revenue Operations function at GitLab and is responsible for the processes, data standards, and operational programs that enable our Sales, Customer Success, and Renewals teams to operate at scale.

This team works in close partnership with other Revenue Strategy & Operations teams, CX field teams, Finance, and Sales to ensure operational alignment across the full customer lifecycle. We value clear documentation, thoughtful iteration, and practical solutions that help our go-to-market teams move with confidence and clarity.
