As the Senior Product Manager for Software Supply Chain Security (SSCS) at GitLab, you'll lead a critical product area that helps customers build trust across their software delivery pipeline. You'll shape the strategy and delivery of capabilities that secure the software supply chain around the code, including areas such as build provenance, attestation, signing and verification, software bill of materials (SBOM), malicious package detection, and dependency firewall. In this role, you'll work closely with Engineering, User Experience, and cross-functional partners to turn complex supply chain security concepts into clear, valuable product capabilities that help customers improve the integrity of their continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines, dependencies, and registries.

You'll own the full SSCS product area and help define how GitLab brings this offering to market within our broader Security and Compliance product area. You'll partner directly with customers and internal stakeholders to validate problems, prioritize opportunities, and shape a coherent product direction. In your first year, you'll focus on translating customer needs and regulatory pressure into practical product investments, refining how we package and prioritize SSCS capabilities, and helping GitLab strengthen its position as a trusted platform for secure software delivery.

Some examples of our projects:

• Defining and evolving the product strategy for GitLab's Software Supply Chain Security offering.
• Turning frameworks such as Supply-chain Levels for Software Artifacts (SLSA) into practical product capabilities for GitLab customers.

What you'll do

• Lead the product strategy for GitLab's Software Supply Chain Security offering, setting direction across key pillars such as dependency firewall, software bill of materials (SBOM), malicious package detection, and provenance and attestation.
• Drive product discovery, prioritization, and delivery by partnering with Engineering and User Experience to break down complex security problems into clear requirements and iterative roadmap decisions.
• Work directly with customers and prospects to understand supply chain security challenges, gather feedback, and translate that input into product improvements and roadmap priorities.
• Partner with teams across Sales, Customer Success, Support, and Marketing to validate demand, improve adoption, and make sure the product meets real customer and business needs.
• Analyze market trends, customer workflows, and competitive offerings in software composition analysis, software supply chain security, and related categories to inform product decisions.
• Define success measures for the SSCS product area, using qualitative and quantitative signals to evaluate outcomes, guide trade-offs, and communicate progress.
• Represent the SSCS domain internally as a subject matter expert by creating clear narratives, documentation, and artifacts that help teams understand the product vision and value.
• Contribute to a high-performing, all-remote product organization by collaborating asynchronously, sharing context transparently, and driving decisions that support GitLab's broader product strategy.

What you'll bring

• Product management experience owning complex technical products, ideally in security, DevSecOps, or developer-focused business-to-business software as a service (B2B SaaS) environments.
• Knowledge of software supply chain security concepts such as provenance, attestation, signing, verification, and software bill of materials (SBOM), along with familiarity with frameworks like Supply-chain Levels for Software Artifacts (SLSA).
• Experience with dependency risk and software composition analysis, including working with or near dependency scanning, package security, or related tooling.
• Ability to turn highly technical concepts into clear product direction, customer value, and straightforward communication for both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Experience working closely with Engineering and User Experience to define roadmaps, make trade-offs, and deliver iterative product improvements.
• Strong customer empathy and a practical approach to balancing user needs, technical feasibility, and business goals.
• Comfort using data, feedback, and market context to make decisions and explain priorities clearly.
• Openness to learning and adapting in a globally distributed, asynchronous environment, with a self-directed approach to ownership and execution.

About the team

The Software Supply Chain Security team helps GitLab customers establish trust throughout the software delivery lifecycle. The team focuses on building capabilities that secure dependencies, artifacts, build systems, and related workflows so customers can better understand and improve the integrity of how software is created and delivered. This work sits within GitLab's broader Security and Compliance product area, where security capabilities are built directly into the DevSecOps platform.

You'll join a team that works closely across Product, Engineering, and User Experience, while also partnering with neighboring security teams when supply chain security overlaps with other parts of the platform. The team collaborates in an all-remote, asynchronous way across regions and values clear communication, iteration, and shared ownership. Current areas of focus include advancing capabilities such as Dependency Firewall, Build Provenance, and Artifact Signing, while helping customers address growing software supply chain security requirements in regulated and security-conscious environments.

At GitLab, you'll work with team members who care deeply about building useful products, sharing context openly, and solving meaningful problems at platform scale. This role is well suited for someone who wants broad ownership, close collaboration with technical teams, and the chance to help shape an important security product area as it grows.
