The SOX PMO team is a second-line function within GitLab's CAO organization that 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 for SOX testing. The team works as both a subject matter expert group and a business partner to first-line control owners across the company, helping build control frameworks that are practical, scalable, and aligned with a fast-growing business. As an all-remote team, we collaborate asynchronously across regions and functions, with a strong focus on balancing strategic program leadership with hands-on execution as GitLab continues to evolve.
