Description

  • Own day-to-day executive operations for the CTO by anticipating needs, managing priorities, and ensuring decisions and people come together at the right time.
  • Manage complex calendars across time zones with proactive optimization, protecting focus blocks and pre-staging briefing materials for internal and external meetings.
  • Triage inbound requests on behalf of the CTO—accept, defer, delegate, or decline based on priorities and stakeholder expectations.
  • Drive the CTO’s Rhythm of Business end-to-end (Weekly Staff, CTO Reviews, Ops Reviews, QBRs, planning cycles) including agendas, pre-reads, action-item tracking, and follow-through to closure.
  • Course-correct meetings or operating cycles that are off-track in preparation or follow-up, escalating only when necessary.
  • Coordinate cross-functionally with EBAs, Chiefs of Staff, People Ops, IT, Finance, and GTM stakeholders to align company-level rhythms (board, earnings, all-hands, OKR cycles, major launches).
  • Assemble and deliver full-context packages for customer and partner meetings and capture commitments, owners, and timelines post-meeting to ensure follow-ups are tracked to closure.
  • Own planning and execution for org-wide events and offsites—logistics, budgets, agenda design, vendor communication, and post-event follow-up.
  • Ghost-write internal communications in the CTO’s voice (all-hands intros, async updates, remarks) and handle sensitive people topics with discretion.
  • Use AI tools extensively to automate routine tasks (scheduling, notes, follow-ups), synthesize information from multiple sources, and improve decision support for the CTO.

Requirements

  • Demonstrated experience supporting senior executives in complex, fast-paced environments, ideally including C-level technical or product leaders with broad stakeholder sets (engineering, GTM, customers, board).
  • Proven excellence in core EBA craft: flawless execution on calendaring, travel, expenses, logistics, and procurement approvals.
  • Strong program and operations management skills with ability to own multi-threaded operating cadences and track action items across workstreams.
  • High emotional intelligence with experience navigating senior stakeholder dynamics, handling confidential information, and ghost-writing in an executive’s voice.
  • Judgment and autonomy to make the call the CTO would make on ~80% of tasks without step-by-step direction.
  • Background managing executive calendars, travel, and expenses across multiple time zones and countries with minimal direction.
  • Proficiency with Google Workspace, Zoom, Slack, Navan (or similar expense platforms), GitLab, and comfort using AI tools to automate and synthesize workflows.
  • Experience coordinating cross-functional work and compiling information for executive decision-making, especially in engineering- or product-led organizations.
  • Skill in end-to-end event and meeting coordination (agendas, materials, logistics, vendors) for virtual and in-person events and offsites.
  • Experience supporting recruiting and onboarding processes, clear concise written and verbal communication, and the ability to work independently in a remote environment.

Benefits

  • United States base salary range: $126,400 — $213,600 USD (base only; does not include bonuses, equity, or benefits).
  • Flexible paid time off policy.
  • Equity compensation and Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP).
  • Benefits to support health, finances, and well-being (health insurance and related benefits listed in GitLab handbook).
  • Growth and Development Fund for learning and development.
  • Parental leave.
  • Home office support for remote work setup.
  • Distributed remote-first team with Team Member Resource Groups for inclusion and community engagement.
