Gtm Finance Manager

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.

About the Role

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

As the Manager on the GTM Finance and Strategy team, you’ll operate at the center of go-to-market strategy — owning and building critical models to forecast ARR and GAAP Revenue, analyzing and providing perspective around strategic initiatives, and delivering insights that shape executive and Board decisions. You’ll partner closely with Analytics, Revenue Accounting, Revenue Operations, External Reporting, and GTM leadership.

This role reports to the Sr. Manager of GTM Finance and blends strategic finance, data storytelling, technical problem-solving, and operational execution. You’ll drive forward-looking planning, help scale our forecasting infrastructure for a hybrid pricing motion that includes both subscription contracts and usage-based (consumption) revenue, and support high-visibility initiatives across the function.

This is a high-impact role ideal for someone who is passionate about leveraging data and financial insight to guide strategy and operational execution in a high-growth, cross-functional environment.

This is a full-time, hybrid position based out of our Oakland, CA or Denver, CO 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.

• Performance Analysis: Own key revenue and retention metric packages — including NRR, ARPA, new business mix, ROI, and cohort trends — and surface insights to the CFO, executives, and the Board
• Forecast & Reporting Infrastructure: Use AI Tools, or SQL (BigQuery) / Python to automate data pulls, build repeatable and auditable models, and improve the accuracy, speed, and transparency of our topline forecast; partner with Analytics, AI Transformation and Systems on data quality, integrity and self-serve reporting capabilities.
• Executive Reporting: Create compelling, automated, executive-ready reports, dashboards, and narratives that distill complex data, trends, forecasts, and strategic implications into actionable recommendations for Finance leadership and GTM stakeholders.
• Team Leadership: Provide technical guidance, review work, and help raise the modeling standards and work products of the GTM FP&A team
