Manager, Sales Field Enablement - New York

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.

• Oversee planning and execution of regional and global sales workshops, onboarding programs, and ad hoc training requests
• Partner with Curriculum and Program teams to co-create and scale new training initiatives across segments and regions
• Build strong relationships with Sales Leadership to surface skill gaps, gather field feedback, and shape enablement priorities
• Define and track enablement success metrics that align with seller performance and business outcomes
• Champion a high-quality, engaging learner experience across all live sessions
• Contribute to hiring, onboarding, and performance management within the enablement team, fostering an inclusive and collaborative team culture

Who You Are
