Marketing Strategy & Operations Lead

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 the Role

Fivetran is building data pipelines to power the modern data stack for thousands of companies.

We’re looking for a Marketing Strategy & Operations Lead who is part program manager, part AI builder. You’ll own the operational infrastructure of Fivetran’s marketing team: the rhythm of the business and the marketing system of record.  But what makes this role different is the how.  You’ll approach every operational challenge with an AI-first mindset, constantly looking for ways to automate, accelerate, and scale what a lean marketing team can deliver.

This is a role for someone who is endlessly curious and resourceful. One day you’re establishing a new operating rhythm with cross functional partners and the next you’re building a Google Apps Script to auto-generate weekly status reports from Slack threads. You’re the person who sees a manual process and immediately thinks “I can automate that.” You’ll work across every marketing sub-function and sit at the center of how the team communicates, coordinates, and operates. You’ll be the operational engine that makes sure the team’s plans actually get executed.

This is a full-time, hybrid position based out of our Oakland or Denver offices. 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.

Technologies You’ll Use

Google Workspace, Fivetran, Claude, ChatGPT/Codex

What You’ll Do

Marketing system of record & content supply chain

• Build and maintain the marketing system of record: a centralized, connected hub for programs, campaigns, calendars, vendor trackers, and key documents — the single source of truth the team relies on

• Design and operationalize the content supply chain: intake and prioritization, production tracking, review/approval workflows, and distribution across channels

• Partner with integrated program management and occasionally lead a cross functional program; tracking milestones, dependencies, and deliverables for cross-functional initiatives

AI, automation & Google Workspace strategy

• Design and deploy AI-powered workflows to automate high-frequency ops tasks

• Own the Google Workspace strategy for marketing: template standardization, shared drive architecture, naming conventions, and automation via Google Apps Script and Slack integrations

• Build and maintain a library of AI prompts, custom skills, and lightweight automations tailored to marketing use cases (board prep, campaign briefs, competitive summaries, comms drafts)

• Champion AI adoption within marketing: evangelize tools like Claude, run workshops, partner with L&D on enablement, and track adoption/impact across the team

Rhythm of the business 

• Support Head of Strat and Ops on the marketing rhythm of the business: weekly business reviews (WBRs), monthly all-hands (Power Surge), quarterly reviews, and cross-functional syncs

• Serve as the operational connective tissue across Marketing, Sales Ops, Finance, and HR

 

Skills We’re Looking For

• 4–7 years in strategy & operations, program management, or a chief-of-staff-adjacent role at a B2B SaaS company

• AI builder, not just AI user — you’ve created automations, workflows, or internal tools using Claude, ChatGPT, Google Apps Script, Zapier, Make, or similar. You see AI as the unlock for doing 10x more with the same team

• Systems thinker — you see the connections between processes and build infrastructure that scales. You love designing systems of record, templates, naming conventions, and documentation that others actually use

• Google Workspace power user — advanced Sheets (including Apps Script), Slides, and Docs. You have an opinion on how a marketing org should structure its workspace and you’re not afraid to implement it

• Strong program management instincts — you can manage multiple concurrent initiatives, track dependencies across teams, and keep things moving without being asked

• Curiosity and agency — you’re a self-starter who finds problems before they’re assigned and builds solutions before they’re requested. You thrive in ambiguity and don’t need a playbook to get started

Bonus Skills​

• Experience supporting C-level executives in a chief of staff or ops lead capacity

• Background building Google Apps Script automations, Slack bots, or internal productivity tools

• Experience running AI enablement or training programs for non-technical teams

• Familiarity with the modern data stack (Fivetran, dbt, Snowflake) or experience in the data/analytics industry

• Exposure to Jira, Asana, Height, or similar tools for marketing program management

• Management consulting, BizOps, or corporate strategy background
