Sr. People Business Partner

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 You'll spend much of your time helping managers tackle the things that make leading people hard: giving clear feedback, addressing performance early, navigating change, building effective teams, and making good decisions when the answer isn't obvious. We don't expect you to have a playbook for everything. We do expect you to be curious, use good judgment, ask the right questions, and be comfortable forming a point of view. We're looking for a People Business Partner to join our Regional HRBP team and support managers across North America. Our Regional HRBP model is new, so you'll also help us build it. You'll work closely with Functional HRBPs and partners across the People team, learning from what you see on the ground and helping us create better, simpler ways of working as we grow. You'll report to the Director, Regional HR Business Partners .

What You’ll Do - Coach managers. Help managers work through performance, feedback, development, conflict, team dynamics, and difficult people decisions. The goal isn't to solve everything for them, it's to help them become better managers. - Get underneath the problem. What first lands as a performance issue might actually be unclear expectations, a struggling manager, a team dynamic, or something else entirely. You'll ask good questions, understand the context, and help determine what needs to happen next. - Handle complex people matters. You'll lead performance and employee relations work across North America, balancing good judgment, employee experience, business needs, consistency, and risk. You'll know what you can handle yourself and when to bring in Legal or another People partner. - Help teams perform better. You'll work with managers on team health, engagement, talent, performance, and change using both what you're hearing and what the data tells us. - Spot patterns. We don't want to solve the same problem five times without asking why it keeps happening. You'll connect dots across teams, use data where it helps, and bring emerging themes and risks to the right people. - Work closely with Functional HRBPs. They'll bring the broader functional and leadership context; you'll bring what you're seeing with managers, employees, and teams across the region. You'll work together without duplicating each other's roles.
