As the Director of Pricing, you will help define how GitLab captures the value of the most comprehensive AI-powered DevSecOps platform. This role sits within Product Monetization and reports to the VP of Product, Platforms & Monetization. You will own pricing strategy end to end during an important period for GitLab, as we evolve from traditional seat-based models toward AI and usage-based monetization across SaaS, self-managed, and single-tenant offerings.

- Partner with leaders across product, engineering, finance, sales, marketing, and operations to evaluate trade-offs between growth, adoption, margin, and customer value.
- Own pricing models, scenario planning, forecasts, and business cases that connect pricing decisions to measurable outcomes such as average selling price, average revenue per user, and monetization performance.
- Lead pricing research and testing approaches, using methods such as customer interviews, conjoint analysis, Van Westendorp, and experiments to inform strategic recommendations.
- Present pricing proposals and recommendations clearly to senior leadership, including executive-level stakeholders, with well-supported analysis and clear decision paths.
- Ensure pricing changes are implemented smoothly by coordinating readiness across systems, processes, enablement, and customer communication to support successful launches and business adoption.

- Strong analytical skills with the ability to build robust models, test assumptions, evaluate scenarios, and communicate implications with confidence.
- Fluency in pricing research methods, including conjoint analysis, Van Westendorp, customer interviews, and experimentation, and the ability to apply the right method to the right question.
- Experience working through ambiguity and creating structure, process, and momentum in areas that are still evolving.
