An Overview Of This Role

As an Investor Relations Manager, you'll play a key role in how GitLab tells its financial and strategic story to the investment community. You'll help ensure that current and prospective shareholders, research analysts, and other external stakeholders clearly understand GitLab's strategy, business model, and performance across the DevOps and broader technology ecosystem. Reporting to the VP of Investor Relations, you'll work across Finance, Corporate Communications, Legal, Product, and Marketing to develop data-driven insights, shape our investment thesis, and support core activities like quarterly earnings, investor materials, and peer benchmarking. In your first year, you'll contribute to a scalable investor relations program by strengthening our financial and competitive analysis, enhancing investor-facing content and resources, and helping teams prepare for high-visibility interactions with the investment community.

What You’ll Do

  • Develop a deep understanding of GitLab's strategy, operating model, financial performance, and competitive position within the broader DevOps and technology ecosystem.
  • Help shape and communicate GitLab's investment thesis by analyzing industry trends, market dynamics, shareholder feedback, and competitive behavior, and translating insights into clear narratives for investors.
  • Assist in the full quarterly earnings process, including developing key messages, collecting and analyzing data, drafting earnings materials, and preparing scripts, Q&A, and call logistics.
  • Prepare clear, compelling investor-facing materials such as earnings presentations, investor decks, shareholder letters, and executive briefing documents that align with GitLab's overall messaging.
  • Build, maintain, and enhance investor relations resources, including financial models, valuation analyses, analyst model and consensus tracking, IR website content, industry trackers, and peer benchmarks.
  • Analyze competitors' business models and performance using SEC filings, earnings calls, analyst research, and other public disclosures, and deliver concise quantitative and qualitative insights to senior leaders.
  • Support the development and execution of a proactive investor relations strategy, including investor base tracking, targeting initiatives, and relationship management with current and prospective shareholders.
  • Coordinate investor meetings, roadshows, conferences, and other corporate access events, partnering closely with Finance, Legal, Corporate Communications, Product, and Marketing to ensure accurate, compliant, and consistent communications.

What You’ll Bring

  • Background in finance, economics, accounting, business, or a related discipline, with strong grounding in financial reporting and capital markets.
  • Experience in investor relations and/or a financially rigorous role such as investment banking, equity research, private equity, or corporate development, ideally within a public Software/SaaS or high-growth technology company.
  • Proficiency in analyzing GAAP financial statements, building and maintaining financial models, and applying valuation techniques including discounted cash flow and comparable analyses.
  • Ability to synthesize complex financial, strategic, and competitive information into clear, accurate materials for diverse audiences, including investors, research analysts, and executives.
  • Familiarity with SEC requirements and public company best practices for financial disclosure and external communication.
  • Advanced skills in PowerPoint, Excel, and Google Workspace, with comfort working with complex datasets, consensus models, and competitive intelligence sources.
  • Demonstrated ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines in a fast-paced, global, cross-functional environment, partnering effectively with senior leaders and teams such as Finance, Legal, Corporate Communications, Product, and Marketing.
  • High level of professionalism, judgment, and ethical standards, with openness to candidates who bring transferable skills from related finance or capital markets roles.
