Strong fit if you lead complex B2B software sales into banks and FS firms, thrive fully remote, and can represent a dual-edition DevSecOps platform to C-level buyers.
As Area Vice President – Financial Services at GitLab, a typical day centers on enterprise sales leadership for financial-services accounts: pipeline reviews, executive stakeholder calls, partnering with product and solutions teams on the DevSecOps platform, and coaching regional sellers.
