About the team
The Customer Experience Strategy team at GitLab is a small, high-impact partner to our broader Customer Experience organization, focused on steering the end-to-end customer journey from initial purchase through adoption, renewal, expansion, and advocacy. The team works across Customer Success Architects, Customer Success Managers, Customer Success Engineers, and Renewals managers and leaders to align strategy, data, and operations, collaborating asynchronously with CX leadership and go-to-market partners in multiple regions. We own and evolve key CX frameworks such as customer journey maps, voice of customer programs, segmentation and coverage models, and CX analytics to reduce friction across touchpoints, improve customer satisfaction and retention, and scale a customer-first operating model.
As a Renewals Strategy Manager, you'll sit at the intersection of this work and our Renewals organization, helping to build clearer renewal insights, more predictable forecasting, and more scalable processes that support long-term customer value.
