About this role

This senior role sits in Datadog's Channels & Alliances team and builds a partner ecosystem for its multicloud monitoring and observability product. It covers regional and global system integrators (SIs), managed service providers (MSPs), and value-added resellers (VARs), with a focus on customer acquisition, adoption, and revenue.

The manager identifies and recruits channel partners, then enables them through training, business planning, and joint sales. They coordinate technical and marketing work for partnership launches, run regular business reviews, report success metrics, and work with sales and related teams to create partner-sourced pipeline and revenue.

Applicants need 10+ years in partner business development, strategic alliances, or channel sales at a cloud-services or SaaS company. The posting also requires a record of creating opportunities through closing, negotiating contracts, meeting targets, and building long-term partnerships, plus the ability to understand technical concepts and architecture scenarios and explain them clearly in speech and writing.
