An overview of this role

As the Senior Manager, Technical Architects on GitLab's AMER Professional Services team, you'll oversee one of the most technically credible and customer-facing groups in the organization. This team helps turn customer priorities into real adoption and measurable outcomes by guiding complex implementations, shaping new service patterns, and bringing emerging GitLab capabilities into production environments.

You'll own the AMER Technical Architecture practice across both presales and delivery, managing a team of Technical Architects who work on complex customer needs, early-stage offerings, and strategic engagements. This role is well suited for someone who can coach senior technical talent, bring structure to ambiguity, and keep the team focused on customer outcomes instead of task completion.

In your first year, you'll help strengthen how the practice operates across delivery quality, team development, resource planning, and consultative engagement management. You'll work alongside architects in areas including AI, security, and broader platform architecture, while helping the team turn what they learn in the field into repeatable methods that can scale across Professional Services.
