Senior Talent Acquisition Operations Specialist

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

We're looking for a Senior Talent Acquisition Operations Specialist to join our global Talent Acquisition Operations team.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in influencing through expertise, enjoys cross-functional collaboration, and is motivated by transforming ideas into scalable, data-informed solutions.
