The SOX PMO team is a second-line function within GitLab's Chief Accounting Officer organization. It owns and manages the enterprise SOX compliance program across risk assessment, control design, documentation, and coordination with external auditors, while Internal Audit operates as the independent third-line function responsible for SOX testing. The team serves as both a subject matter expert group and a business partner to first-line control owners across GitLab, helping build control frameworks that are practical, scalable, and suited to a fast-growing business. As an all-remote team, we collaborate asynchronously across regions and functions, balancing strategic program leadership with hands-on execution as GitLab continues to evolve.
