Senior Product Manager, Clo (Archived) | VirtualInterview.ai

As a Senior Product Manager on Datadog’s Cloud Cost Management team, you’ll own the vision, strategy, and execution for rate optimization — a critical area helping our customers intelligently reduce their cloud spend through smarter purchasing and usage strategies.

You’ll work closely with cloud providers, enterprise customers, and internal engineering and design teams to deliver a best-in-class product experience. This includes building tools and workflows that help customers identify savings opportunities, optimize committed use discounts (e.g. Savings Plans, Reserved Instances), and make real-time decisions that lead to better financial outcomes.

This role offers the opportunity to influence the future of how businesses manage their cloud costs, drive millions in savings, and scale cloud operations efficiently—while working across Datadog’s product suite to bring cost awareness and optimization into every layer of observability.

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.

What You’ll Do:

Define and execute the product vision and roadmap for rate optimization within the Cloud Cost Management product suite

Develop deep customer empathy by engaging with FinOps teams, DevOps engineers, and CFO stakeholders to understand their cost optimization pain points

Build products that automate cloud savings recommendations, track coverage and utilization of discounts, and surface real-time optimization opportunities

Define and monitor key success metrics to measure product impact and drive data-informed decision making

Collaborate with cloud partners (AWS, Azure, GCP) to stay aligned with evolving pricing models and discount programs

Build relationships with other Datadog product teams and identify opportunities to surface costs across the Datadog product suite

Partner with Marketing and GTM teams (within both Datadog and partners) to generate awareness and drive adoption of Datadog’s Cloud Cost Management product

Evangelize the product both internally and externally, positioning Datadog as a leader in cloud cost optimization
