Principal Partner Solutions Architect

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 We’re looking for a Principal Partner Solutions Architect (GSI) to be Fivetran + dbt Labs' global technical advisor to our priority Global Systems Integrators (GSIs) — comfortable operating at executive level, leading the conversation, and directing execution of the joint business plan by combining technical depth with business insight. You are the ecosystem peer to the GSI's lead architects and delivery leads. You will own the technical capability, overarching solution architecture, and multi-year bets of the GSI partnership you support. This role partners closely with the global alliance leads for these GSIs to articulate the true total value of each technical solution and execute impactful engagements across regions and countries. Functionally, the role sits at the intersection of field engineering, product management, and partnerships. Your closest counterparts are the GSI's practice and delivery leadership, the regional Partner Solutions Architects and Partnerships teams who run the day-to-day motion, and product managers across both Fivetran and dbt Labs. Operating at the Principal level, you will report directly to the Global Head of Partner Solutions Architecture. This is a full-time position based in the US. What You’ll Do • Build a trusted advisory relationship with priority GSIs and engage with their senior technical stakeholders and practice leads to secure multi-year technology bets with Fivetran and dbt Labs. • Own the joint technical narrative and capability messaging for the combined Fivetran + dbt Labs platform as it applies to this GSI's delivery practice — reference architectures, integration patterns, and the joint value story their consultants use with mutual customers. • Provide domain expertise around modern data platforms and enterprise technology, and effectively promote Fivetran + dbt Labs with partners, at conferences, and online. • Make recommendations on integration strategies, partner-side enterprise architectures, platforms, and application infrastructure required to successfully implement complete solutions for complex GSI mega-agreeme
