You'll design and run scalable technical enablement programs that help customers unlock business outcomes from GitLab across source code management, CI/CD, DevSecOps, and Agile planning, while building repeatable frameworks to remove adoption barriers.

Reporting to the Senior Director of Customer Success Managers, you'll combine deep DevSecOps expertise with strategic program development, partnering closely with Sales, Renewals, and cross-functional teams to turn technical insights into commercial impact, reduce churn risk, and surface expansion opportunities.

In your first year, you'll be focused on establishing clear metrics for technical value, strengthening voice-of-the-customer feedback loops with Product and Engineering, and elevating the effectiveness and impact of the Customer Success Engineering team across a pooled book of business in the EMEA region.

Responsibilities

• Lead a distributed team of Customer Success Engineers in EMEA to drive GitLab adoption and technical value realization across a pooled book of business.

• Develop and execute scalable technical enablement strategies and programs that help customers use GitLab for source code management, CI/CD, DevSecOps, and Agile planning.

• Drive creation of repeatable frameworks and systematic solutions that remove adoption barriers and support measurable customer business outcomes.

• Collaborate closely with Sales, Renewals, and Customer Success Managers to align technical enablement with commercial objectives, supporting retention and expansion across accounts.

• Use data and performance indicators to assess program effectiveness, identify adoption trends, and adjust technical initiatives for greater impact at scale.

• Mentor and coach team members to strengthen their DevSecOps expertise, customer engagement skills, and ability to translate technical capabilities into business value.

• Champion the voice of the customer by translating field insights and technical pain points into actionable feedback for Product, Engineering, and other cross-functional teams.

• Partner with internal stakeholders to ensure customer feedback, feature requests, and adoption insights inform roadmap priorities and improvements to the overall customer experience.

Requirements

• Strong understanding of DevSecOps practices, with the ability to connect GitLab capabilities across source code management, CI/CD, security, and Agile planning to tangible business outcomes.

• Experience leading and developing technical teams in a distributed, remote environment, with a focus on customer outcomes and scalable impact.

• Background in software development or engineering that enables you to guide technical conversations, remove adoption barriers, and design effective enablement paths.

• Experience designing and implementing scalable customer success or technical enablement programs, using data to measure impact and refine approaches.

• Ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear, outcome-focused messaging for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Proven skill in collaborating with Sales, Renewals, and other cross-functional teams to align technical adoption work with commercial objectives.

• Comfort using customer insights and feedback to influence internal priorities, including product, process, and program decisions.

• Openness to diverse backgrounds and transferable skills, with a growth mindset toward learning GitLab's platform and evolving DevSecOps practices.

About the Team

We're the Customer Success Engineering team within the broader Customer Success organization. We're a distributed, remote group that collaborates asynchronously across time zones, using GitLab and our handbook-first approach to coordinate work rather than relying on dedicated account assignments.

This structure helps us deliver a consistent customer experience, quickly share learnings across accounts, and continuously improve how we support customers.
