Additional Information

Datadog's Implementation Services team helps customers deploy and realize value from the Datadog platform quickly. Our Project Managers are the engine behind that by running complex, multi-stakeholder engagements end-to-end and keeping projects on time and on scope. As the manager of this team, you will lead a growing team of Senior Project Managers across North America. This is a true player/coach role: you'll manage and develop a team of three individuals, and run at least one customer engagement independently. You'll set the standard for delivery quality, build strong partnerships with our internal go-to-market teams, and help shape how the practice scales. At Datadog, we place value in our office culture - the relationships and collaboration it builds and the creativity it brings to the table. We operate as a hybrid workplace to ensure our Datadogs can create a work-life harmony that best fits them.
