Senior Technical Program Manager, Enterprise Technology

Technical Program Managers (TPMs) are responsible for our most crucial and complex projects that span technical teams, domains, and products at Datadog. As a TPM, you’ll lead execution of large scale projects, coordinate cross-organizational dependencies, and help teams deliver and become more efficient. Datadog is growing rapidly and you’d have an opportunity to solve deeply technical problems and impact our products. You can demonstrate your leadership abilities by driving decision-making and building strong relationships across the organization. The TPM team focuses on maintaining lightweight processes and continual improvements while optimizing and accelerating execution. Clear communication, metrics, and visibility are building blocks of our values. This role would be working with the enterprise technology teams to support office build outs, post acquisition processes and 3rd party SaaS tools.

At Datadog, we place value in our office culture - the relationships that it builds, the creativity it brings to the table, and the collaboration of being together. We operate as a hybrid workplace to ensure our employees can create a work-life harmony that best fits them.

What You’ll Do:

• Manage large-scale, cross-organization programs, integrations, and migration efforts
• Work with teams to clarify goals and deliverables; bring data to planning and prioritization
• Help break down projects into component parts, identifying and tracking dependencies and opportunities for optimization; proactively identify problems and recommend solutions before they become blockers
• Create and refine processes when necessary; maintain focus on reliability and continual improvements, and automation and scaling
• Identify KPIs and success metrics, collect and analyze data; make information visible
• Communicate goals, status, risks, and impact to teams and stakeholders; you are able to adapt communications to any level
  

Who You Are:

• Solid technical background with educational experience in computer science, an engineering discipline, mathematics, information systems, or equivalent work experience and you enjoy learning new technologies
• You have at least 5+ years of experience in technical program management in a dynamic and highly technical environment, a strong track record in managing complex cross-functional projects in a cloud/SaaS environment, and domain expertise in office build outs or 3rd party tooling
• You have experience working collaboratively across organizations; strong leadership and interpersonal skills, experience building and fostering effective working relationships
• You have strong communication skills, attention to detail and enjoy working in an innovative environment
• You take a data-driven approach to program management; building tools (workflows, custom work intake processes, estimation models), collecting and analyzing data, and driving stakeholder buy-in
• You have experience influencing without direct authority at senior levels internal and external to the engineering organization
