About the role

<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; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><strong>About Us</strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">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.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">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. 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; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><strong>About the role</strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">The Microsoft Global Alliance Lead is one of the most strategically important roles in our Ecosystem. You will own our relationship with one of the world's leading technology and transformation partners end-to-end - from C-suite engagement through to practitioner enablement and joint pipeline creation. You will be the architect of how Microsoft and dbt/Fivetran go to market together, ensuring our platform becomes the trusted data foundation inside Microsoft. </span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">This is a senior individual contributor role reporting to the Global Head of Cloud Service Providers.

font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Deep understanding of the modern data stack and the business value of open data infrastructure - dbt, Fivetran, or equivalent experience strongly preferred</span></li> <li style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Ability to engage credibly at C-suite and partner level within a global consulting organization - understanding how cloud service providers go-to-market and execute</span></li> <li style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Strong commercial instincts - able to identify, thoroughly qualify and develop joint pipeline opportunities, not just manage existing relationships</span></li> <li style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Track record of operating as a cross-functional orchestrator - influencing without direct authority across sales, engineering, marketing, and operations</span></li> <li style="font-size: 10pt;

font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Microsoft becomes a scaled co-sell channel: defined account targeting, consistent co-sell plays, and field teams on both sides who know when and how to bring dbt in</span></li> <li style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Microsoft field enablement is running - SE enablement, hands-on labs, and a field education engine that works globally, not just on paper</span></li> <li style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Key product milestones are advancing with a clear "dbt/Fivetran on Microsoft" story</span></li> <li style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Commercial targets are on track: Microsoft-sourced and engaged revenue, marketplace TCV, and Azure consumption are showing up on the board</span></li> <li style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">The alliance has earned internal credibility: this person is the trusted owner of Microsoft strategy, deal motion, and escalation across sales, marketing, product, and technical teams</span></li> </ul> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><strong>Why This Role</strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Microsoft is one of dbt Labs' most strategic partnerships - and it's at an inflection point. We're deeply embedded in Microsoft's fastest-growing data platform narrative, with integrations across Fabric, Azure, and an expanding presence on Azure Marketplace. The commercial momentum is real, the product alignment is strong, and the go-to-market motion is just getting started.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">The person who owns this alliance won't be managing a steady-state relationship. They'll be building a true co-sell engine alongside Microsoft's field teams, shaping how dbt fits into the Fabric ecosystem, and partnering cross-functionally to turn a high-potential alliance into a repeatable growth driver. The whitespace is significant, the executive interest on both sides is there, and the opportunity to become genuinely strategic to one of the world's largest technology companies is in front of us.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">If you've built partnerships at scale inside complex enterprise ecosystems - and you know what it takes to make a co-sell motion actually move - this is a rare chance to do that work at the center of where enterprise data is heading.</span></p><div class="content-pay-transparency"><div class="pay-input"><div class="description"><p>The compensation range displayed on this job posting reflects the minimum and maximum target for new hire compensation for the target position and level, and may include sales incentives or target bonuses depending on the role.  Our compensation ranges are determined by role, level, and location.
