Sr Product Designer, Growth Acquisition

As a member of the Growth team, you'll play a key role in driving business outcomes by helping users find increased value and efficiency with GitLab. Results for customers is at the top of our values hierarchy because we know that our customers’ success directly drives ours. Ensuring a frictionless experience for users who want to get started, trial, purchase, and explore new features is essential to delivering results for our customers. As a designer in this space, you’ll be instrumental in making that happen.

The acquisition team is a newly established group within Growth, presenting an exciting opportunity to help shape the team's direction and processes. Initially, we'll be focused on optimizing our signup flows and team invite flows to reduce friction and drive key acquisition metrics for new users and teams getting started with GitLab. You'll play a crucial role in designing intuitive, streamlined experiences that help users seamlessly onboard and bring their teammates into the GitLab ecosystem.
