You will have broad scope across product strategy, execution, and stakeholder alignment for AI Platform Management. In your first year, you will shape the direction of governance, orchestration, and audit capabilities, help teams make practical decisions in an ambiguous space, and build trust with engineering, design, and partner teams by bringing well-reasoned options forward. * Some examples of our projects: Building product capabilities that help administrators govern agent behavior, approval requirements, and auditability across AI workflows * Some examples of our projects: Defining control plane experiences for agents, tools, skills, policy enforcement, and human-in-the-loop approvals across evolving AI workflows WHAT YOU’LL DO * Lead product discovery and delivery for AI Control Plane capabilities that help administrators manage AI usage within GitLab. * Define product direction for configuration and governance experiences related to agents, Model Context Protocol servers, tools, skills, and approval flows. * Collaborate closely with engineering, design, and partner teams across AI Governance and related product groups to turn ambiguous problems into clear plans. * Drive alignment across stakeholders by presenting trade-offs, alternatives, and product recommendations grounded in customer and business impact. * Own prioritization decisions for a platform area that supports multiple teams and products, including emerging work connected to autonomous AI experiences. * Partner with engineering managers and technical leaders across regions to deliver platform capabilities in an asynchronous, distributed environment. * Navigate cross-functional challenges with persistence, using escalation thoughtfully and only after working through options with peers. * Communicate strategy, decisions, and progress clearly so teams can move forward with shared context and accountability.
