  • Ability to translate complex details into clear, concise requirements and communicate effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • Experience with Agile or Scrum project management methodologies, with a strong track record of shipping products that exceed user expectations
  • Demonstrated use of analytics, user research, and business cases to drive decisions and improve internal systems
  • A deep sense of empathy for the customer, ensuring that all technical solutions are user-focused and deliver significant value

  • Experience with Corporate Systems (e.g. Workday, Coupa, Pigment, Netsuite, Ironclad) and the internal processes they support
  • Public company experience and a working understanding of system and process controls
  • Proficiency in general-purpose programming languages, SQL, and a general ability to self-serve and digest data

What the job involves

  • This is a full-time position based out of our Oakland office
  • You’ll be expected to understand the key technologies that drive our systems and product interactions to guide your team and work cross-functionally with business and engineering stakeholders
  • In order to do that, you should be comfortable working with technical and non-technical stakeholders to develop product requirements, technical design documents, and related documentation to define technical solutions to business challenges clearly
  • Identify the opportunities and challenges within the functions supporting our processes within our corporate areas, and use your domain and technical knowledge to write accurate product requirements
  • Take a collaborative approach in prioritizing the roadmap, with a good balance between new functionality and managing process/technical debt
  • Align the business vision with technical solutions, delivering on a systems roadmap that is well aligned to business processes
  • Collaborate closely with internal stakeholders and Systems Engineering teams to drive the execution of your internal systems roadmap, ensuring that project goals, deadlines, and deliverables are met
  • Lead the planning, scheduling, and tracking of project timelines and milestones using appropriate tools and techniques
  • Provide hands-on management of the most critical projects, applying expert judgment and analysis to the planning and execution of project activities
  • Partner with key stakeholders across various functions such as People, Finance, Legal, Procurement, Analytics, Product, and Engineering
  • Lead cross-functional teams to define business requirements and translate these into robust technical solutions
  • Ensure a clear communication framework is in place to align expectations, progress, and feedback between your team and the stakeholders
  • Identify opportunities for process optimization, recommending and implementing new systems or enhancements to existing systems
  • Foster a culture of continuous improvement, encouraging the team to iterate on processes and tools to improve efficiency and effectiveness
  • Stay informed of the latest technology and product management trends to drive innovation within the team and the broader organization
  • Establish and oversee the tracking of health metrics, ensuring that our systems remain well aligned to their business processes
  • Use data-driven insights to make prioritization decisions, recommend initiatives, and to report on the health and success of various projects and initiatives
  • Analyze the impact of new systems or enhancements on the business, providing detailed reports to business and engineering stakeholders on the health and progress of your roadmap
  • By taking on these responsibilities, you will play a pivotal role in ensuring that our internal systems not only support but also accelerate the growth of the business
  • You’ll directly contribute to process efficiency and scaling of Fivetran

Our take

After a few slower years since graduating from Y Combinator in 2013, Fivetran has skyrocketed, consistently raising large sums of funding, including an Andreessen Horowitz-backed $565m Series D round in 2021.

Customers are mostly data analysts at companies with inefficient database schema, who suffer from a high risk of project failures. Fivetran offers rapid integration of complex data services into cloud warehouses, tagging onto the trend towards cloud-based data systems.

By developing and continuously improving cloud applications that adapt to changing APIs and data schemas, Fivetran is attracting customers who seek long-term data viability. Fivetran also benefits from being easy to set up and integrate into a client's existing software.

After acquiring HVR, a data integration competitor, and Teleport Data, Fivetran continues to add functionality and customers via acquisition. A round of funding in 2023 paved the way for expansion into European and Asian markets.
