Our Channels & Alliances Team’s charter builds and activates a strategic, differentiated and high-impact partner ecosystem for our best-of-breed multi-cloud monitoring product, one partner at a time. As a Senior Partner Manager, you will recruit and develop channel partners that drive new customer adoption and revenue, including Regional and Global Systems Integrators, Managed Service Providers, and Value Added Resellers.

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.

• Proven experience managing and scaling strategic security partners, such as MSSPs/MSPs, SIs, distributors, and ISVs/technology alliance partners (preferred)


• Strong ability to articulate security business value, translating customer needs into clear security use cases (e.g., threat detection and response, posture management, SIEM/SOAR, IAM) and building compelling value propositions


• Ability to quickly understand observability and security technical concepts and architectural scenarios, and clearly communicate them, both verbally and in writing, to technical and non-technical stakeholders


• Demonstrated success in driving sales opportunities end-to-end, from lead generation through deal closure, including effective negotiation and long-term partner relationship building
