  • Experience managing and mentoring a high-performance sales or specialist team in a co-sell / overlay structure
  • Strong understanding of cloud security products, including but not limited to SIEM, CSPM, CWPP, and container / Kubernetes security
  • Proven ability to influence cross-functional teams and navigate complex joint selling motions, particularly with partners and channel organizations
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills with both internal teams and customer executives
  • Passion for building scalable processes and fostering a collaborative, inclusive team culture
  • Datadog values people from all walks of life. We understand not everyone will meet all the above qualifications on day one. That’s okay. If you’re passionate about technology and want to grow your skills, we encourage you to apply.
