Datadog's Implementation Services team helps customers deploy and realize value from the Datadog platform quickly. Our Project Managers are the engine behind that by running complex, multi-stakeholder engagements end-to-end and keeping projects on time and on scope. As the manager of this team, you will lead a growing team of Senior Project Managers across North America. This is a true player/coach role: you'll manage and develop a team of three individuals, and run at least one customer engagement independently. You'll set the standard for delivery quality, build strong partnerships with our internal go-to-market teams, and help shape how the practice scales.
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.
What You'll Do:- Manage, develop, and mentor a team of Senior Project Managers, fostering a high-performance culture focused on delivery excellence and professional growth
- Own overall delivery quality across your team's portfolio, tracking project health, proactively resolving blockers, and stepping in as an escalation point when needed
- Partner with Sales, Customer Success, and Technical Account Management to ensure seamless handoffs, aligned expectations, and a world-class customer experience
- Build and maintain strong relationships with sellers and pre-sales teams across North America to grow the pipeline of Implementation Services engagements
- Connect directly with customers to champion our services, surface opportunities, and understand the impact of our program on their business
- Drive initiatives to improve delivery frameworks, tooling, and playbooks so the team can scale without sacrificing quality
Who You Are:- 5-7 years of people management experience, with a track record of developing high-performing project managers or delivery professionals
- Deep experience running complex, enterprise-level projects for SaaS implementations
- Rigorous about the fundamentals: scope management, risk identification, stakeholder alignment, and proactive communication are second nature to you
- Outstanding skills presenting to technical and executive audiences
- Experience with planning and scoping deals in a pre-sales capacity
- Able to travel via auto, train, or air up to 30% of the time across North America
