Must be located in Canada

What you’ll do

  • Build and execute account plans that align GitLab’s AI-powered DevSecOps platform with provincial, municipal, and post-secondary modernization initiatives
  • Navigate complex procurement and contracting processes while shaping multi-year technology roadmaps with CIOs and technical leaders
  • Act as the primary point of contact and trusted advisor for strategic and large public sector prospects and customers
  • Own your book of business, from pipeline development through close and expansion, using a consultative, mission-focused sales approach
  • Collaborate with pre-sales and post-sales engineering, customer success, and support teams to ensure successful rollout, adoption, and value realization
  • Partner with system integrators, resellers, and other channel partners to generate qualified leads and co-create solutions for public sector challenges
  • Conduct ongoing prospecting and opportunity development within large and strategic accounts to drive new and expansion business
  • Represent the voice of the customer by sharing feedback and product ideas through GitLab’s public issue tracker and internal teams

What you’ll bring

  • Experience selling technology solutions to provincial or state governments, municipalities, and higher education institutions, including working within regulated environments
  • Knowledge of the software development lifecycle, including CI/CD automation, secure development practices, and infrastructure modernization
  • Understanding of public sector procurement processes, including tenders, standing offers, and agency buying cycles, plus privacy and compliance requirements, with the ability to navigate complex stakeholder environments
  • A consultative sales approach that positions technology as a mission enabler and aligns solutions to public sector modernization initiatives
  • Ability to manage major accounts with a high degree of ownership, working under minimal supervision on complex opportunities
  • Skill in collaborating with system integrators, resellers, and internal pre- and post-sales teams to drive successful customer outcomes
  • Effective written and verbal communication skills, with strong interpersonal abilities to build consensus across technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • Alignment with GitLab’s values, openness to learning, and readiness to apply transferable skills and diverse experiences to the public sector domain
