About the Role Datadog’s Technology Partnerships team builds and scales partnerships with the technology companies that matter most to our customers from AI/ML platforms to data platform providers. As a Technology Partner Manager, you will own the full, 360-degree relationship with a portfolio of strategic Technology Partners, with a particular focus on cutting-edge AI/ML and Data Platform companies. You’ll be the connective tissue across three pillars of partnership: co-build (joint product and integration roadmaps), co-market (joint awareness and demand generation), and co-sell (joint pipeline and revenue). This is a highly cross-functional, relationship-driven role that requires equal comfort in a product roadmap discussion, a marketing planning session, and a sales enablement meeting. 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.
