<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;"><strong>About Us</strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">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;">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;">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;">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><br><span style="font-size: 10pt;">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;"><strong>About the Role</strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Fivetran is building data pipelines to power the modern data stack for thousands of companies.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">We're looking for an amazing individual to join Fivetran's Employee Experience team as our Senior Lead, Employee Experience &amp; Internal Communications. This role goes beyond writing great comms — you'll also help design how employees experience Fivetran day to day, from how we listen to them, to how we recognize them, to how we bring them together as a community. You'll craft compelling communications for employees around the world, build the frameworks that connect employees to one another and to our priorities, and design programs that make people feel heard, valued, and energized — all in service of our company mission.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">You'll be hands-on: writing stellar communications, designing employee listening mechanisms, building recognition programs, and running culture and community initiatives. You'll also zoom out — building frameworks and cadences that scale, and using data (surveys, engagement metrics, attendance, participation) to tell a story about how the organization is doing and what to do next.</span></p> <p><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Technologies You’ll Use</span></strong></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Google Suite, Notion</span></p> <p><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt;">What You’ll Do</span></strong></p> <ul> <li style="font-size: 10pt;"><em><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Internal Communications</span></em> <ul> <li style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0) !important;
