As a Customer Success Manager, you will proactively drive new product attachment and effective strong relationships across our existing customer base through on-boarding, up-selling and cross selling. You’ll advocate for the customer internally and focus on a positive customer experience. Interactions are rooted in relationship-management, first and foremost, while also advocating for growth opportunities. Customer Success Managers follow a well-defined methodology that helps them identify the customer's unique needs and clearly convey the value of the Datadog product.

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.

• Customer-minded, always aiming to provide the most value possible
• Excited by working in an ever-evolving and fluid solution focused environment
• Experienced in negotiating contract terms and overcoming pricing objections without direct guidance for up-sell and cross sell activities

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 experience, we encourage you to apply.
