<div class="content-intro"><p>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.</p></div><p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><strong>About Us</strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Fivetran and dbt Labs are bringing together two industry-leading companies with a shared mission: helping organizations unlock the full value of their data.</span><br><br><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">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.</span><br><br><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">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.</span><br><br><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">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.</span><br><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"></span><br><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">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.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><strong>About the Role</strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Fivetran is building data pipelines to power the modern data stack for thousands of companies.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">We’re looking for an experienced Technical Product Manager to join Systems Engineering and own the roadmap for the capabilities and technology that power Fivetran’s global Customer Support organization.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">You’ll sit at the intersection of Support and Engineering, partnering with Support leaders to understand their biggest challenges, define what we should build, and work with technical teams to deliver scalable solutions. You’ll work across case management, customer portals, service delivery, workforce workflows, and automation, with Zendesk at the center of a broader ecosystem of APIs, integrations, and custom services.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">You’ll work with a diverse, global group of stakeholders and need to build trust quickly, flex your communication style, and confidently guide teams toward the right solution rather than simply taking requests at face value.
