Job Description
We are looking for a Principal Product Marketing Manager to shape how we tell the story of AI at Datadog. In this role, you’ll create a durable messaging framework for our AI portfolio — spanning generative, agentic, and correlative AI — and turn it into compelling content for campaigns, thought leadership, events, and sales enablement. You’ll partner with other PMMs, Demand Generation, Product, and Field teams to ensure our AI narrative is easily digestible by sellers and resonates with technical audiences.
If you are a storyteller with the technical depth to grasp complex AI modalities with the influence to drive alignment, this role will energize you.
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:
- Develop a cohesive messaging framework for AI features across the Datadog platform, including Autonomous Agents, Platform AI, and AI-enhanced products.
- Drive a steady cadence of AI thought leadership content, such as blogs, e-books, webinars.
- Own communications and content strategy for AI industry events.
- Support AI marketing initiatives with demo scripts, marketectures, customer stories, and business value tools.
- Drive and align on Product Marketing strategy with cross-functional stakeholders including leadership and C-suite.
- Lead global sales enablement efforts—designing training plans, presenting at SKO, and creating qualification guides and sales decks.
- Conduct market and competitive research to inform messaging, sales enablement, and product strategy.
Who You Are:
- 8+ years of experience within B2B SaaS companies, marketing highly technical products.
- Experience marketing AI products like AI agents, predictive features, chatbots, or MCP.
- Demonstrated experience leading significant positioning and/or complex messaging initiatives with visibility at the senior leadership level.
- A polished, confident communicator with a strong executive presence and the ability to engage with marketing and product leadership.
- Proven ability to create compelling narratives, with writing samples, pitch decks, or presentations on highly technical topics for practitioners and/or executives.
- Highly collaborative and adept at finding synergy across workstreams with PMMs, Product Management, and Sales Enablement.
