An overview of this role:

As an AI Transformation Owner at GitLab, you'll shape your function's AI strategy and build the solutions that deliver it. You are responsible for identifying where AI can fundamentally change how your organization operates, partnering with your Executive Sponsor to align on the biggest challenges, and driving measurable outcomes against them.

Think of this as a product management role where the product is your organization's way of working. You'll manage the full lifecycle: understanding how work flows today, deciding where AI should reshape it, prioritizing what gets built and in what order, and ensuring what ships actually gets adopted. You'll also prototype solutions, configure agents, and prove what's possible before pulling in engineering support to scale it.

You will work closely with an AI Engineer who sits within the Enterprise AI team. Together you form a partnership: you bring the business context, process intelligence, and strategic prioritization. They bring the technical depth, production-grade delivery, and architecture decisions. You'll build working solutions at the no-code and low-code layer, and partner with the AI Engineer on the right approach, tooling, and structure.

What you'll do:

• Own your function's AI strategy, aligned with your Executive Sponsor and business priorities.
• Understand which metrics matter to the organization, identify what will move the needle, define how you'll measure impact, and track progress over time.
• Map how work flows across your function end-to-end, including the handoffs upstream and downstream to other organizations.
• Identify where the real constraints are, not just the ones your team can see.
• Manage intake of AI requests, ideas, and pain points from across the function, including via your Champion network.
• Prioritize strategically against business outcomes and executive guidance.
• Drive adoption and change management together with the AI Engineer.
• Coordinate with Enterprise AI to ensure your function benefits from patterns, tools, and learnings emerging across other parts of the business.
• Build and bridge the Champion network in your function.
• Build AI agents using no-code and low-code platforms.
• Own your function's fleet of agents.
• Expect to rebuild as AI tools and models evolve fast.

What you'll bring:

• Deep knowledge of your function's operations.
• Strategic prioritization skills.
• A product management mindset.
• Strong communication and influence.
• Cross-functional instincts.
• Experience building peer networks or communities of practice.
• Comfortable building with AI tools.
• Ready to learn fast.
• Strong conceptual understanding of AI capabilities.
• Ability to map data flows - structured and unstructured.

You will partner closely with Enterprise AI within the Enterprise Technology & AI organization, while remaining embedded in your own function. Enterprise AI provides the technical delivery capability, platforms, and patterns. You provide the business context, prioritization, building at the no-code layer, and adoption muscle. Together, you form the core of your function's AI transformation.
