Senior Manager, Procurement & Strategic Sourcing

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.

Fivetran is building the future of data infrastructure — and as we grow and evolve alongside our partners, the way we manage our vendor ecosystem matters more than ever. We're looking for a Senior Manager of Strategic Sourcing to lead high-impact procurement and vendor negotiations across the organization at a pivotal moment: the integration of Fivetran and dbt, where identifying technology synergies and driving cost efficiency is mission‑critical.

In this role, you'll own the full sourcing lifecycle for deals ranging from $50K to $500K+, spanning categories including technology/SaaS, marketing, and contingent workforce. You'll build and lead vendor relationships, drive renewals, and partner with Finance, Legal, and business stakeholders to ensure Fivetran gets maximum value from every vendor dollar spent. This is a high‑visibility, high‑impact role for someone who thrives in a fast‑moving environment and loves finding the leverage in every deal.

This is a full‑time position based out of our Denver 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.
