About this role

From Fivetran’s founding until now, our mission has remained the same: to make access to data as simple and reliable as electricity. With Fivetran, customer data arrives in their warehouses, canonical and ready to query, with no engineering or maintenance required. We’re proud that more organizations continue to leverage our technology every day to become truly data-driven.

About Us

Fivetran and dbt Labs are bringing together two industry-leading companies with a shared mission: helping organizations unlock the full value of their data. Together, we’re delivering the data infrastructure layer that helps organizations move, transform, and trust their data — from the moment data moves, through every transformation, to the context teams and AI systems rely on. Fivetran helps organizations automate data movement across the systems, clouds, engines, and tools they rely on. dbt Labs pioneered analytics engineering, helping teams transform data into reliable, governed insights. Together, we support thousands of organizations as they build a trusted foundation for analytics, AI, and better business decisions.

As we bring our teams and technology together, we’re building on the strengths of both companies while continuing to deliver the products and experiences our customers know and trust. It’s an exciting time to join us: we’re creating a company with the scale, talent, and technology to help more organizations put their data to work with greater speed, confidence, and impact. During this transition period, you may see references to both Fivetran and dbt Labs throughout our recruiting process as we integrate our teams, systems, and career sites.

About the Role

Fivetran is building data pipelines to power the modern data stack for thousands of companies.

We're looking for an exceptional leader to serve as our Director of Workplace & Engagement, part of our Employee Experience team. This is a senior leadership role with global scope: you'll set the strategy and vision for Fivetran's workplace experience across our 10 global office locations, and help drive engagement for all employees, including our remote workforce. In short, you'll help create amazing employee experiences everywhere Fivetran operates.

In this role, you'll own and scale the team that manages Fivetran's global offices and events, and you'll develop and continuously refine a robust, strategic plan for fully serviced office options (WeWork, etc.) across our footprint. Deep international experience is an absolute priority for this role, as is the judgment to operate as a strategic partner to the broader Employee Experience and Finance leadership teams. We're looking for that special leader who thrives leading and inspiring a team of dedicated Workplace professionals across geographies, and who wants to thoughtfully help remote employees feel a genuine sense of belonging and engagement. As the senior leader of this function, the individual in this role will be expected to go into a local office regularly and to travel to other global locations as needed.

  • Business acumen and expertise in identifying the strategic factors to weigh when making decisions about leased local offices vs. short-term/flexible options (WeWork, Regus, etc.) across a 10-location global portfolio
  • Ability to effectively build the business case, including working closely with Finance to determine overall global budget
  • Ability to strategically direct and advise international brokers to procure the most appropriate and cost-effective options for Fivetran while balancing the needs of the business across regions
  • Skillfully able to elicit the right business requirements from the business and assess what options are viable at each of Fivetran's global locations
  • Experienced in lease terms and negotiations, able to work in close partnership with Finance to produce the best result for Fivetran across multiple countries
  • Broad knowledge of U.S. and international commercial real estate and WFH/hybrid trends, using data to make the best business recommendations for Fivetran's Future of Work

This is a full-time position based out of our Oakland office. Our hybrid work model offers a blend of remote flexibility and in-person collaboration, including two days in the office each week to connect and build as a team.

  • Own the plan and criteria for determining when to pursue a leased office vs. another option (WeWork, Spaces, Regus, etc.) across the U.S. and abroad
  • Drive the global employee experience calendar and company events strategy throughout the year, keeping inclusion and belonging top of mind with every project across every region
  • Own vendor selection strategy and guidelines, manage vendor service contracts, lead periodic and ongoing performance and financial reviews, conduct RFPs, and monitor the performance of the team, including service providers, across all 10 locations
  • Oversee attendance and other workplace metrics globally to keep the business informed of attendance and spending trends
  • Own and execute on-target financial budgets across all sites; partner with Finance to track monthly and quarterly metrics at a global portfolio level
