We’re interdisciplinary thinkers leveraging diverse business backgrounds in management consulting, investment banking, business development, and tech to accelerate Datadog’s global growth. We work directly with Datadog’s most senior leaders to set strategy, improve efficiency across the business, support data-driven decision-making, own complex operations, and more.

In this role, you will serve as the strategic partner for our Commercial segment in the Americas region, identifying opportunities for revenue growth & sales force effectiveness, spearheading strategic initiatives across our go-to-market teams, and driving critical annual planning activities. This role offers the chance to make an immediate and significant impact as we continue to expand our Americas footprint.

• Wear many hats: partner with senior stakeholders in sales, channels & alliances, marketing, customer success, and more on key strategic and operational priorities.
