Manager, Sales Field Enablement - New York
August 2, 2025
The Team
As part of Datadog's GTM Enablement organization, the Field Enablement team drives seller performance through world-class training, coaching, and scalable learning experiences. We partner closely with Sales Leadership, Product Marketing, and cross-functional teams to deliver live enablement that helps sellers ramp faster, execute consistently, and drive impact throughout the customer journey. Our mission is simple: empower Datadog's sales teams to be confident, consultative, and quota-crushing.
The Opportunity
Datadog is scaling rapidly, and with that growth comes the need for high-impact enablement that supports onboarding, skills development, and sales excellence. As the Manager of Field Enablement, you'll lead a team of Field Enablement Managers responsible for delivering engaging, results-driven training sessions across the global sales org-while continuing to roll up your sleeves and facilitate programs yourself.
This is a player-coach role: you'll split your time between managing a team and directly engaging with sellers. You'll work cross-functionally with Sales, Enablement, and Product stakeholders to align programming with business needs and drive consistency in the field.
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.
