About The Position

Fivetran is hiring a technically oriented Product Manager for its Databases portfolio. The portfolio includes source connectors for enterprise OLTP and legacy systems, destination connectors for analytics and AI, and a shared core data processing engine that captures, transforms, and loads data across Fivetran’s connectors. The role will define the portfolio’s direction and make roadmap decisions involving replication mechanics, schema handling, and change data capture (CDC), while grounding investments in customer needs and business considerations such as revenue and competitive dynamics.

The Product Manager will collaborate with engineering teams on connectors and platform capabilities, work with Sales and Marketing to launch features and drive adoption, and partner with company leadership to influence product strategy. The role owns product roadmaps from discovery through prioritization, specification, development partnership, launch, and iteration.

Requirements

• At least 5 years of product management experience with significant exposure to data infrastructure, databases, or ETL/ELT systems.
• Ability to work at technical depth, including schema design, replication mechanics, CDC, and data types, and at business altitude, including ARR, TAM, and competitive positioning.
• Track record of owning outcomes for complex, engineering-heavy roadmaps.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to create PRDs, feature briefs, and roadmap narratives that engineering teams and executives can act on.

• Partner with engineering leadership to shape the roadmap for platform features that capture, transform, and load data reliably at scale.
• Write and evangelize clear product requirements documents that translate customer and market signals into actionable engineering specifications.
