The Team
Our GTM Enablement team plays a critical role in helping Datadog's Sales, SDR, and Customer Success teams succeed by equipping them with the right skills, knowledge, and tools at the right time. We partner closely with teams across Sales, Customer Success, Product Marketing, Curriculum, and Operations to ensure enablement programs translate into real performance in the field.
If you like adding value and seeing the direct impact of your work through the people you lead, and you thrive in dynamic environments where you can roll up your sleeves and get things done, this role is for you.
The Opportunity
Datadog is investing further in EMEA, and we're looking for a Manager, Field Enablement to lead our team of Field Enablement Managers supporting Sales, SDR, and Customer Success across the region — a frontline people leadership role where you'll manage, coach, and grow your team while helping execute the enablement strategy and quality bar for EMEA.
You'll partner closely with EMEA Sales, SDR, and Customer Success leadership, as well as Enablement Curriculum, Program Management, and Operations teams, to translate regional priorities into a coordinated enablement plan across markets and segments — keeping your team's programs tightly aligned with our global Field Enablement standards.
This role is ideal for someone who has excelled in field/sales enablement and leadership, cares as much about developing enablement practitioners as developing sellers and CSMs, and wants to help build the enablement leadership layer for one of Datadog's fastest-growing regions.

- Set the enablement strategy and priorities for EMEA in partnership with Sales, SDR, and Customer Success leadership, translating regional business goals into a coordinated plan across your team.
