## Role

We're looking for a product manager for our usage growth efforts.
You'll be the first team member of a new team within GitLab that focuses on
getting more people use more of GitLab.

In particular, we're looking for someone that is data-oriented and has prior
growth experience. It's not a must to have held a product manager position before,
but it's preferable. Having founded your own startup is a plus.

We work in quite a unique way at GitLab, where lots of flexibility and independence is mixed with a high paced, pragmatic way of working. And everything we do is in the open.

We recommend looking at our [primer](/company/) to get started.

## Responsibilities

- Identify low-performing features and workflows in GitLab and work towards improving these by
designing and conducting experiments, A/B tests, etc
- Help build a usage growth team by hiring data scientists and engineers
- Build and expand features that help our customers understand their own usage better and adopt
more of GitLab
- Create dashboards for actionable insight into any and all of GitLab's usage data
- Create and execute an event-driven analytics strategy
- Investigate reasons for churn and address these
- Help the rest of GitLab Inc use and adopt data tools
- Work together closely with the rest of the (product) team to help GitLab become more data-driven

## You are _not_ responsible for

- Shipping in time. As a PM you are part of a team that delivers a change,
the team is responsible for shipping in time, not you.
- A team of engineers. PMs at GitLab do not manage people, they manage the
_product_. You'll be required to take the lead in decisions about the product,
but it's not your role to manage the people that build the product.
- Capacity and availability planning. You will work together with engineering
managers on schedules and planning: you prioritize, the engineering managers
determine how much can be scheduled.
