About the role

Fivetran is building data pipelines to power the modern data stack for thousands of companies. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • 5-7 years of experience in sales compensation, sales operations, revenue operations, or FP&A, with hands-on administration of a compensation platform
  • Expert-level analytical modeling: builds compensation models from scratch, including cost-of-program scenarios, pay-positioning analysis, attrition and retention-risk modeling, and sensitivity and tradeoff analysis
  • Technical aptitude: working proficiency in SQL, Python, or similar scripting, experience with Salesforce, BI tools (e.g., Looker), and data warehouses (e.g., BigQuery, Snowflake) a plus
  • Statistical judgment: knows when market data is credible or a sample is too small, and presents ranges without false precision
  • Reasons from first principles: balances best practice with what the business needs and can rebuild a framework when the standard approach does not fit
  • Trusted advisor to senior leaders on sensitive, high-stakes compensation decisions (offers, promotions, retention, org changes), influencing outcomes through data and judgment rather than authority
