Manager, SOX PMO - Business Process

An overview of this role

As Manager, SOX PMO - Business Process, you'll lead Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) compliance for assigned business processes as part of GitLab's second line. This is advisory work, not repeatable testing: you'll deeply understand how processes work, evaluate risks as the business changes, and help control owners design and remediate controls that hold up to audit. Judgment matters more than procedure. You'll form well-supported conclusions, align with control owners and Internal Audit, and defend positions to external auditors. GitLab already uses AI extensively, and the next phase brings AI agents into our SOX processes. You'll help teams adopt them with confidence, finding creative ways to enable new ways of working while maintaining compliance. You'll also partner with the information technology (IT) SOX PMO on readiness for new systems and applications. This role reports to the Senior Director, SOX PMO, within the Chief Accounting Officer's organization.

What You’ll Do

• Lead SOX compliance for assigned business processes as the second-line subject matter expert, advising control owners who own and operate the controls. Deeply understand each process, its systems and data flows, and resolve open questions and assumptions early.
