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 the Role
We are looking for a Product Design Manager to help lead our group of product designers who focus on the core UX of Fivetran. You will guide multiple reports across squads toward a unified and cohesive set of product solutions. Our ideal candidate should have an empowering mindset of putting their team first, an ability to craft and execute Design strategy, and a strong ability to collaborate across disciplines in a complex and ever-changing space. We value those that hit the ground running, lead by example, and support their fellow designers.
As you talk with our team, your portfolio should contain case studies that demonstrate strong storytelling skills, application of effective design processes, team building capability, and clear results from your previous team’s work.
Fivetran has a positive, diverse, and supportive culture. We appreciate Designers who are curious, humble, think deeply, speak clearly, and thrive on collaboration and feedback. If this sounds like a good fit for you, send us a hello with links to your work and experience. On day one, this role will report to the Director of Design.
