Job description
We’re looking for a Senior Technical Product Marketing Manager to join our security product marketing team and help bring Datadog’s rapidly growing security offerings to market. In this high-impact role, you’ll collaborate closely with Product, Sales, Sales Engineering, and Enablement to translate complex technical capabilities into compelling narratives that drive awareness, adoption, and differentiation. As the first hire in this space, you'll own key go-to-market efforts, lead technical positioning for strategic initiatives, and mentor others on content strategy and enablement best practices. This is a unique opportunity to shape how Datadog tells its security story to a global market.
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 technical marketing plan for Datadog’s security product line, from launches to scaled adoption.
• Partner cross-functionally with Product, PMM, Sales Engineering, and Enablement to craft differentiated messaging, inform roadmap decisions, and build cross-product solution narratives.
• Create and deliver high-impact sales tools including battlecards, investigation flows, objection handling guides, and competitive workshops.
• Lead competitive strategy by synthesizing market insights and producing content that positions Datadog as a differentiated leader in cloud-native security.
• Act as a technical subject matter expert and trusted advisor — coaching field teams, reviewing enablement content, and influencing internal strategy.
• Represent Datadog in customer briefings, industry events, and webinars, serving as a go-to voice on observability and security.
Who You Are:
• 8+ years of experience in technical product marketing, developer relations, product management, solutions engineering, or related roles in cloud or security domains.
• Demonstrated subject matter expertise in one or more areas: cloud-native infrastructure (e.g., Kubernetes), threat detection and incident response, security operations, compliance, or data privacy.
• A strong portfolio of technical content and assets — such as demos, diagrams, enablement materials, and technical blogs or training sessions.
• Excellent communicator with the ability to craft clear narratives, present to diverse audiences, and translate technical depth into business value.
• Proven ability to drive cross-functional go-to-market initiatives and influence roadmap direction.
• Strategic mindset with a bias for action — you focus on impact over volume and thrive in fast-paced environments.
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.
Benefits and Growth:
• Generous and competitive benefits package
• New hire stock equity (RSUs) and employee stock purchase plan
• Continuous career development and pathing opportunities
• Employee-focused best in class onboarding
• Internal mentor and cross-departmental buddy program
• Friendly and inclusive workplace culture
Benefits and Growth listed above may vary based on the country of your employment and the nature of your employment with Datadog.
