As a manager of product operations, you will lead and grow a team of experienced product operations specialists, while also delivering high-quality operational support to product managers, leadership and other cross-functional partners. This is a hands-on management role: you will coach and mentor team members, set clear priorities, and build scalable processes that enable world-class product operations.

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.

• Manage and develop a team of product operations specialists, providing mentorship, feedback, and career development. 
• Establish clear expectations and operational best practices to ensure consistent, high-quality team output.
• Build, refine, and scale processes for roadmap planning, customer feedback integration, and launch execution.
• Develop tooling and create standards for key product management processes (feedback intake, roadmap prioritization, product execution)
• Lead product-wide communications and operational support for major events such as user conferences, product summits, all-team meetings, and cross-functional forums.
• Incorporate user voice into the product development process.
• Drive centralized product knowledge and enablement, ensuring PMs and stakeholders have the tools, resources, and education needed to succeed.
• Partner with product, engineering, marketing, and other stakeholders to ensure smooth product lifecycles, launches and communication.
• Foster a culture of accountability, growth, and collaboration within the product team.

Who You Are:
