• Develop and curate stories featuring team members, leaders, teams, culture, values, career growth, and the impact of working at GitLab.
• Partner with Talent Acquisition to create targeted content and campaigns that support hiring priorities, pipeline generation, and conversion.
• Improve candidate journey touchpoints with transparent, consistent, and relevant information throughout the hiring process.
• Use content, channel, candidate feedback, and funnel metrics to improve performance and communicate impact.
• Collaborate across GitLab to ensure content is accurate, inclusive, culturally relevant, and aligned with our voice.
• Manage projects and external partners while improving talent brand processes, systems, reporting, and operations through iteration and thoughtful use of technology and artificial intelligence tools.

• Comfort using performance data, audience insights, feedback, and market research to improve outcomes.
• Experience influencing across functions and working with senior stakeholders, subject matter experts, creative partners, or vendors.
• Ability to manage ambiguity, prioritize competing work, and move from strategy to detailed execution in an asynchronous environment.
• A commitment to inclusive, transparent storytelling, alignment with GitLab’s values and remote working practices, and applicable work authorization.
