Career & Market Insight

Compensation vs. Market: At $209K–$262K USD, this role is positioned at the high end of the market for senior pricing strategists in SaaS. Comparable "Pricing Strategy" or "Monetization" director-level roles at late-stage unicorns typically range $180K–$240K base plus equity, placing this offer above median — particularly with RSU grants on top.

Career Development Value: This is a high-leverage, high-visibility role. Skills developed include:

  • Advanced econometric and conjoint analysis methods (highly transferable to consulting, VC, and PE roles)
  • Executive-level influence and communication
  • End-to-end ownership of pricing strategy across a $5.6B+ valued company undergoing a major merger
  • Experience with both Fivetran and dbt Labs — two marquee names in modern data infrastructure

Company & Growth Stage Signals: Fivetran is post-Series D, valued at $5.6B+, and is currently merging with dbt Labs. This signals significant organizational complexity and potential integration challenges — a green flag for those who thrive in ambiguous, high-growth environments, but a potential red flag for those seeking stability.

Work-Life Balance: The role requires broad cross-functional collaboration and executive-facing output. The generous PTO policy, inclusive parental leave, Global Week of Rest, and mental health platform are strong signals of a people-aware culture. However, the scope of responsibilities suggests this is a high-intensity individual contributor role, not a 40-hour-week position.

Green Flag: An advanced degree (PhD/MSc) is required — this filters for rigorous peers and signals the company values depth of analytical thinking over surface-level dashboarding.

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.

  • Design and execute pricing experiments.
  • Synthesize quantitative analysis, customer research, and competitive intelligence into executive recommendations that influence pricing strategy.

  • Partner closely with Product, Analytics, Finance, Sales, Marketing, and Legal to deliver end-to-end pricing initiatives.
  • Define KPIs and dashboards that measure pricing performance and identify optimization opportunities.
  • Continuously evolve our pricing and packaging strategy to improve ARR growth, customer adoption, and value realization.

Skills We're Looking For

  • 5–8 years designing or operating SaaS or sophisticated B2C pricing models, preferably with usage-based or behavioral pricing experience.
  • Deep quantitative background — an advanced degree (PhD/MSc) in Economics, Statistics, Operations Research, Applied Math, or similar.
  • Fluency in SQL and Python for large-scale data analysis; proficiency with BI tools such as Looker or Tableau; bonus for dbt.
  • Hands-on experience with conjoint, MaxDiff, Gabor-Granger, or Van Westendorp surveys and causal experiment design.
  • Strong attention to detail and data analysis skills, including interpreting results and recommending actions.
  • Proven record of turning complex models and analyses into recommendations and shipping changes that moved ARR, gross margin, or NRR.
  • Collaborative mindset across Product, Analytics, Finance, Sales, and Legal; comfortable navigating from whiteboard to contract terms.
  • Strong communication and presentation skills with ability to influence at the executive level.
