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.

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.

About the Role

As a member of the COO Office you will be responsible for defining how the combined Fivetran + dbt Labs organization uses its core collaborative platforms to get work done.

As we bring two companies together, we inherit two sets of tooling conventions across every major platform — with no single owner responsible for defining a consistent, governed baseline. This role owns that mandate. The majority of the work centers on making Notion excellent as NewCo’s primary knowledge management platform: workspace governance, information architecture, content standards, and page ownership. Beyond Notion, the role publishes and maintains best-practice guidance for Slack, Google Workspace, and Jira, and partners with department champions to drive adoption across the company.

This role also leverages AI to manage these systems — keeping workspaces clean, enforcing best practices, and partnering with the AI Transformation team to align on how we use AI within these tools.

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.

What You’ll Do

Define and drive NewCo’s ways of working across six dimensions:

  • How we collaborate internally — set standards for how teams work together inside Notion, Slack, and Google Workspace
  • How we collaborate externally — extend that guidance to shared spaces with partners, customers, and vendors, outlining what should differ from our internal norms
  • How we make decisions — establish lightweight, documented decision-making practices (e.g. DACI-style ownership)
  • How we document — own Notion governance, information architecture, and content standards so our knowledge base is a trusted source of truth
  • How we project manage — set shared baselines for Jira project and program structure, naming, and usage
  • How we communicate — define Slack conventions, channel governance, and async norms

Alongside these:

  • Define what “good” looks like for each core tool and publish it as canonical, company-wide guidance
  • Leverage AI to keep workspaces clean, audit for inconsistencies, and maintain standards at scale
  • Run recurring compliance checks and drive channels and workspaces into conformance over time
  • Partner with department champions to roll out standards and support adoption
  • Align with the AI Transformation team on how we apply AI within these tools
  • Incorporate ongoing employee-experience feedback from the People team to refine standards
  • Provide executional support for COO Office communications, in coordination with the Head of Internal Communications

Skills We’re Looking For

  • Deep, hands-on expertise administering Notion at scale — governance, databases, information architecture, and permissions
  • Strong working command of Slack, Google Workspace, and Jira administration and best practices
  • Proven ability to define standards and drive cross-functional adoption without direct authority
  • Excellent written communication — able to produce clear, canonical guidance that teams actually follow
  • Program management discipline: can run rollouts, track compliance, and manage stakeholders across functions
  • Comfort operating in ambiguity and building a function from the ground up
  • Strong judgment on where to standardize vs. where to leave teams autonomy

Required AI Competencies

  • Advanced fluency with conversational AI systems (Claude, ChatGPT) — not just basic prompting, but structuring complex, multi-step work and reliably getting high-quality output
  • Demonstrated track record of redesigning workflows around AI, not merely bolting it onto existing processes — able to identify where AI creates real leverage and where it doesn’t
  • Hands-on experience with AI features native to our core tools (e.g. Notion AI, Glean-style search, Atlassian Intelligence) and the judgment to codify their use into company best practices
  • Ability to build AI-assisted governance at scale — using AI to audit workspaces, surface inconsistencies, and maintain standards across thousands of pages and channels
  • Fluency with AI agents and automation to eliminate manual, repetitive administration

Bonus Skills

  • Experience standing up tooling governance during a merger, acquisition, or major org integration
  • Notion certification or comparable demonstrated platform mastery
  • Experience building AI-driven internal tools, automations, or agents
  • Familiarity with change management frameworks

Tech & Remote Glossary

Stop getting lost in interviews and job descriptions

The job market, especially within tech and global companies, has developed its own dialect. Not understanding these acronyms can make you lose valuable opportunities or poorly negotiate your contract. To end this problem, we created the Definitive Glossary for the Remote Professional.

🏢 Work Models & Routine

Async (Asynchronous Work)
A communication model where responses don't need to be immediate. Instead of back-to-back meetings, the team relies on well-structured documents, threads, and messages. It's the gold standard for global companies spanning multiple time zones.
Sync (Synchronous Work)
The opposite of Async. It requires the team to be online and available at the same time for meetings, live chats, and real-time collaboration.
Daily / Stand-up
A quick daily meeting (usually 15 minutes) common in Agile (Scrum) methodologies. The team answers three questions: What did I do yesterday? What will I do today? Are there any blockers?
All-Hands / Town Hall
A company-wide meeting involving all employees. Usually led by the founders (C-Levels) to present results, new goals, and answer team questions.
1:1 (One-on-One)
A recurring individual meeting between a professional and their direct manager. It is used for career alignment, feedback, and problem-solving, not just for project status updates.

💰 Contracts, Benefits & Compensation

PTO (Paid Time Off)
Instead of strict, categorized leave policies, modern US companies usually offer a flexible pool of days (e.g., 20 days of PTO, or even "Unlimited PTO") that you can use for vacations, sick days, or personal matters, while receiving your regular compensation.
Equity / Stock Options
Company ownership. The startup offers you the right to buy shares at a heavily discounted strike price in the future. If the company grows, goes public, or is acquired, these shares can be highly lucrative.
Vesting (Vesting Schedule)
The rule that controls your Equity. It usually lasts 4 years. You don't get all the shares on day one; you "earn" them gradually as you stay with the company. A "1-year Cliff" means you must stay for at least one year to receive your first batch of shares.
RSUs (Restricted Stock Units)
Unlike Stock Options (where you have the right to buy the stock), RSUs are actual shares the company grants you as a bonus or part of your compensation package, following a strict Vesting schedule.
Independent Contractor (1099 / B2B)
The most common international hiring model for global talent working for US companies. You act as a service provider (business-to-business), receiving the gross salary (often six-figure compensation) without standard local payroll tax deductions at the source.

🤖 Recruitment & Hiring Process

ATS (Applicant Tracking System)
The "robot" that reads your resume. Software like Greenhouse, Ashby, and Workday are used to filter candidates by keywords before a human even looks at the document. (Pro tip: this is why your resume must be clean, semantic, and have the right keywords).
JD (Job Description)
The document that lists the responsibilities, technical requirements, and benefits of the open position.
Cultural Fit
The interview stage that evaluates if your core values, communication style, and worldview align with the company's culture. This is the ultimate test of your Soft Skills.
Onboarding
The integration process. It's the period of your first few weeks at the company, where you get your access credentials, learn about the culture, study the internal documentation, and understand how the product works.

🚀 How to use this to your advantage?

The secret isn't just knowing what these acronyms mean, but using them actively. If during an interview for a premium tech role you ask, "How does your PTO policy and Vesting schedule work?", the recruiter will immediately perceive you as a high-level professional, familiar with the global market standards.

The remote job market requires preparation. And having the right vocabulary is the first big step to securing six-figure proposals and standing out among thousands of applicants.

Expert Tip

The Audiovisual Revolution in the Digital Age

Discover the skills, cloud tools, and strategic mindsets that tech giants, global agencies, and startups demand from video professionals in 2026.

The audiovisual market has undergone a radical transformation. The era when the best opportunities were restricted solely to traditional film studios or television networks is over. Today, the massive volume of premium hiring—including 100% remote positions and six-figure compensation packages—comes from tech companies, digital product startups, Growth Marketing agencies, and streaming-focused production houses.

To stand out in this new landscape, it is no longer enough to just "know how to cut video." The modern professional must be a visual problem solver, possessing a deep understanding of audience retention, cross-platform formats, and cloud-based workflows.

1. Master Cloud Workflows and Collaboration

If you are looking for a global remote position, the first barrier you will face is infrastructure. International production companies and tech startups no longer ship external hard drives via mail. They require candidates who know how to operate seamlessly within real-time review and collaboration ecosystems.

  • Frame.io: It has become the industry standard (now natively integrated into Adobe). Knowing how to manage real-time feedback and version control using Frame.io is an absolute prerequisite for senior editors.
  • Proxy Workflows: Mastering the creation and editing of proxies in Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve is non-negotiable for anyone editing 4K/6K footage remotely on standard internet connections.
"The ability to collaborate asynchronously and manage media in the cloud is no longer a perk, but the backbone of modern post-production teams." — Frame.io Insider

2. Embrace Integrated Artificial Intelligence

The fear of being replaced by AI is common, but corporate reality tells a different story: companies are actively hiring professionals who leverage AI to multiply their productivity. Tech recruiters are looking for talent who can automate tedious tasks and focus on high-level art direction.

  • Generative AI: Tools like Runway Gen-2, Midjourney, and Adobe Firefly are being used to create storyboards, expand backgrounds (Generative Fill), and generate auxiliary assets for Motion Graphics on the fly.
  • Audio and Roto AI: Using tools like Adobe Podcast AI for one-click audio cleanup and DaVinci Resolve's Magic Mask for automatic rotoscoping reduces hours of manual labor to mere minutes. Highlight these efficiency gains on your resume.

3. Your Portfolio is Your Ultimate Currency

In the audiovisual universe, your text-based resume matters far less than your Showreel. However, the most common mistake is creating a Reel filled only with pretty pictures and upbeat music, devoid of context.

According to hiring guidelines from top agencies listed on Motionographer, a top-tier portfolio must feature:

  1. The "Breakdown": Don't just show the final render. Show the layers, the color correction (before/after), or the raw shapes in After Effects. Prove that you are the architect behind the work.
  2. Focus on Results: If a video you edited for a TikTok Ads campaign increased conversion rates by 30%, state that clearly in the project description. Data-driven results secure B2B contracts.
  3. The Right Platforms: Forget Google Drive links. Host your work on Vimeo (for high-quality playback without ads) or Behance (for detailed project case studies). Even better: have your own dedicated website.

4. Soft Skills and B2B Dynamics

Video editors and motion designers often work in silos, but in modern tech companies, they are fully immersed in agile methodologies (Scrum/Kanban). You will need to interact daily with Copywriters, Product Managers, and Growth Analysts.

Knowing how to receive critical feedback without taking it personally, understanding the difference between a "technical revision" and a "strategic revision," and communicating rendering deadlines clearly are the soft skills that guarantee your retention in high-paying remote roles.
