Global Head of Deal Strategy and Operations

We are looking for a Global Head of Deal Strategy and Operations to lead the worldwide deal function for a rapidly scaling data and analytics business formed by the combination of Fivetran and dbt Labs. This is a commercial strategy role as much as an operational one with a mandate to make our deals bigger, better, and faster. The leader owns the deal structures, pricing inputs, policies, and governance that drive more revenue and higher ASP, cleaner and lower-risk terms, and real velocity across every region and segment, while de-risking the business.

This is a pivotal role at a pivotal moment. The business is integrating two commercial engines, two product portfolios, and two sets of systems into a single combined go-to-market. The role sets the strategy for how deals get structured, priced, routed, reviewed, and approved, and acts as a key commercial advisor to GTM leadership on the structures that drive growth, including ELA and commercial strategy, cross-sell, and new product launches. It leads a global team across the Americas, EMEA, and APAC and partners closely with Sales, Finance, Legal, Product, Systems, Pricing, and Partner Marketplace to keep decisions fast, consistent, and scalable.

This leader is an equal part strategist, operator, and trusted business partner. The ideal candidate moves fluidly between long-term commercial strategy and hands-on problem solving, has a proven track record scaling a deal function in a global, complex, high-growth SaaS environment, and leads teams through change with clarity and conviction.

Reports to the SVP, Strategy and Operations. This is a full-time, hybrid role based in one of our hub offices: New York, NY; Denver, CO; Oakland, CA; or Austin, TX.
