These capabilities are provided on a SaaS-based data analytics platform that enables Dev and Ops teams to work collaboratively to avoid downtime, resolve performance problems, and ensure that development and deployment cycles finish on time. The team Sales Enablement is an integral part of the GTM Enablement organization at Datadog -- a team responsible for empowering all Go-To-Market (GTM) teams to drive Datadog’s next phase of growth. We’re interdisciplinary thinkers leveraging diverse backgrounds in business development, education, management consulting, law, finance and business operations to build, deliver and optimize Datadog’s enablement programs. Our sales enablement function partners with teams across Datadog - from leaders to other GTM teams - to ensure our company goals are met and our salespeople reach their potential.

You’ll empower the team to anticipate the needs of the field, prescribe data-driven solutions, and elevate performance at scale. If you’re excited about shaping the future of enablement at a hypergrowth company—and raising the bar for what field enablement can deliver—we’d love to talk.
