Description

  • Manage a pipeline of commercial agreements of varying complexity and stakeholder needs across EMEA.
  • Draft subscription agreements, AI-specific terms, regulatory annexes, professional services agreements, NDAs, and other commercial documents.
  • Negotiate contract terms directly with customer counterparts to support deal progress while protecting GitLab's legal and business interests.
  • Collaborate with sales teams and internal stakeholders to provide clear, timely contracting guidance throughout the deal cycle.
  • Assess contractual risk across a caseload and translate legal issues into practical options and recommendations for the business.
  • Support sales enablement by creating practical guidance and helping sales team members understand and navigate contract terms.
  • Maintain and improve team playbooks, templates, and process documentation to support consistent, scalable contracting practices.

  • Skill in explaining complex contractual concepts clearly to non-legal stakeholders and external counterparts.
  • Experience working across geographies and time zones with awareness of differing commercial and regulatory norms.
  • Familiarity with Google Workspace and contract lifecycle management tools; experience with Ironclad is useful and openness to learning GitLab's tools/workflows is important.
  • Fluency in English; additional language skills are welcomed to support cross-market collaboration and negotiation.
  • Transferable experience from remote or asynchronous environments, or readiness to work effectively in that model, plus a law degree, paralegal certificate, or equivalent practical experience.
