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 have come together to build the foundation of the modern data platform, helping thousands of organizations move, transform, and trust their data. As a combined company, we're past $700M in ARR, with more than 2,500 full-time employees across more than two dozen countries, and we're still in growth mode.
We're building a durable, enduring company. A public offering is on our path, but it isn't the finish line. We're looking for leaders who want to build something that lasts well beyond any single milestone.
About the Role
We're looking for a Vice President of Total Rewards & People Operations to lead global compensation, benefits, and people operations for the combined company. This is a senior leadership role for a proven people leader. You'll build and lead a high-performing, diverse team, and you'll design the rewards and operational foundation that supports our next stage of scale.
You'll partner closely with our executive team and serve as a direct liaison to the Compensation Committee and Board of Directors. You'll bring clarity and sound judgment to some of the most important decisions we make about our people. You'll also build a people operations function that scales through great systems and tools rather than headcount. And you'll invest in your team so they use those tools strategically, not just efficiently.
Most of all, you'll help create an employee experience that feels genuinely special and maintains fairness, at global scale.
This is a full-time remote position based out of the US.
What You'll Do
Lead and build an exceptional team
- Lead, develop, and inspire a global team across compensation, benefits, people operations, and HR systems. Set a high bar for performance, growth, and inclusion.
- Build a high-performing organization with clear ownership, strong accountability, and a culture of transparency.
Invest in your team's development so they become highly strategic operators and advisors to the business.
Own global compensation strategy
- Own compensation philosophy, structure, and programs for all employees, including base pay, variable pay, and equity.
- Lead executive compensation strategy and serve as the primary liaison to the Compensation Committee and Board. Prepare materials, advise on program design, and work with external compensation consultants and counsel.
- Design and evolve equity programs appropriate. This includes equity guidelines, refresh strategy, burn rate and dilution management, and future plans.
- Bring pay practices up to public-company standards, including governance, disclosure readiness, and pay equity analysis. Keep compliance current with evolving pay transparency laws across jurisdictions.
Lead global benefits at scale
- Own the global benefits strategy across more than two dozen countries, balancing competitiveness, equity across geographies, cost discipline, and local compliance.
- Manage broker, carrier, and vendor relationships, and bring rigor to renewals, plan design, and program effectiveness.
- Harmonize benefits across the combined organization in a thoughtful, well- communicated way.
Build scalable, tech-forward people operations
- Lead people operations, HRIS, and people systems strategy. Build a highly efficient function that scales through tools, automation, and AI rather than proportional headcount growth.
- Own the global employee lifecycle, from onboarding through offboarding. Make it consistent, compliant, and memorable for employees.
- Drive data integrity and people analytics that help leaders make faster, better decisions.
- Partner with Finance, Legal, and IT on payroll, global employment entities and EOR strategy, and internal controls.
Be a strategic partner to the business
- Advise the executive team on rewards and operational decisions with pragmatism and speed, always tied to business outcomes.
- Translate complex tradeoffs into clear recommendations, and make decisions decisively.
- Communicate with employees transparently and directly about how and why we reward people the way we do.
What You'll Bring
- 10+ years of progressive experience in total rewards or people operations, including significant time leading these functions at the VP level or equivalent.
- A track record as an established, mature people leader who has built and scaled high-performing, efficient teams.
- Deep experience owning employee and executive compensation, including direct work with a Compensation Committee and Board of Directors.
- Experience leading global benefits across many countries in a complex, multinational environment.
- Experience overseeing people operations and HR technology, with a strong point of view on building functions that scale through systems.
- Strong enterprise experience at a company of our size or larger, ideally in high-growth B2B software or technology.
How You Operate
- Authentic and direct. You say what you mean, build trust through candor, and model transparency for your team and the company.
- Fast and decisive. You move with urgency, make clear calls with imperfect information, and adjust quickly when needed.
- Wise and pragmatic. You bring deep expertise and sound logic, and you know when "great and shipped" beats "perfect and pending."
- People-first leader. You measure your success by the strength of your team and the experience of our employees.
- Builder's mindset. You're energized by growth and focused on building for the long term, not a single milestone.

How do you become a vp operations in Texas?
Becoming a vp operations in Texas typically starts with a bachelor's degree in business administration, industrial engineering, or a related field, often supplemented by an MBA from a Texas institution such as UT Austin McCombs or Rice Jones. Texas does not require a state-issued license for this executive role. Employers expect a career path through operations manager and director-level positions, with demonstrated experience leading large teams and managing complex budgets before reaching the vice president level.
How much do VP operationses make in Texas?
VP operationses in Texas earn a median of about $103,230 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $46,190 for the lowest 10% to over $264,620 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire vp operationss in Texas?
Employers hiring vp operationss in Texas right now include BNY, Exyte, and JPMorganChase, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Texas's concentration of energy companies, regional retailers, and technology firms means vp operations roles here often carry responsibility for both physical infrastructure and enterprise-wide process improvement.
Which Texas cities have the most vp operations jobs?
Dallas, Houston, and Austin account for the largest share of vp operations openings in Texas. Houston leads because of its density of energy, petrochemical, and logistics headquarters, while Dallas draws hiring from corporate headquarters in retail, financial services, and healthcare operations, and Austin's technology and semiconductor sector drives consistent demand for operations executives overseeing high-growth, multi-site organizations.
Are there remote vp operations jobs in Texas?
Yes, but they're less common than in purely analytical roles because vp operations positions typically involve direct oversight of facilities, teams, and physical processes. About 55% of vp operations openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, with the remote-eligible share concentrated in technology companies and corporate holding structures where the operations function is more strategic than site-specific.
How can I get hired as a vp operations in Texas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is moving into an operations coordinator or operations analyst role at a large Texas employer such as a regional distribution center, a hospital system like HCA Houston Healthcare, or a manufacturing plant, then advancing through operations manager and senior director titles. Building credentials in project management and pursuing a lean or Six Sigma certification strengthens a candidate's profile significantly for promotion toward a vice president role within large Texas organizations.
