Social Media Manager

Datadog is looking for a Social Media Manager to advance our social media program. This role sits at the intersection of content creation, strategy, and corporate communications - owning the day-to-day execution of Datadog's social presence while helping shape how social supports our broader comms and marketing mission.

You'll report to our Senior Group Manager of Corporate Communications, while working in close partnership with the Senior Social Media Manager and the rest of the Corporate Communications team. This is a role for someone who is equal parts creative and analytical: you can write a scroll-stopping post and explain exactly why it worked.

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:

• Manage the content calendar and day-to-day execution across social channels, including Instagram, LinkedIn, and X.
• Develop and execute social communication plans for product announcements, launches, global events, and other key company initiatives in partnership with communications, marketing, and cross-functional teams.
• Create and manage social content and programs that showcase Datadog, including employee advocacy initiatives, internal and external newsletters, and content supporting sponsored and Datadog-hosted events.
• Monitor social channels and engage with relevant conversations, identifying cultural moments and routing mentions that require broader support to the appropriate internal teams.
• Analyze social performance and translate results into actionable insights and reporting for executives and cross-functional stakeholders.
• Partner with the Senior Social Media Manager and larger Corporate Communications team to continually refine Datadog’s social strategy, processes, and approach to audience engagement.

Who You Are:

• You have 4-6 years of experience in social media strategy and content creation, ideally within a corporate communications, marketing, or brand marketing function.
• You’re a strong writer and editor with excellent attention to detail and the ability to develop engaging content for distinct audiences and channels.
• You understand how social media works alongside media relations, executive communications, paid opportunities, and broader integrated communications programs.
• You have experience using social media analytics and management platforms, such as Sprout Social or Hootsuite, and translating performance data into insights for senior audiences.
• You can manage multiple channels, projects, and stakeholders while collaborating effectively across a large organization.
• You’re curious about social platforms, trends, culture, and emerging technologies, including opportunities to use tools such as large language models to improve social media workflows.

Datadog values people from all walks of life. We understand not everyone will meet all the above qualifications on day one. That's okay. If you’re passionate about technology and want to grow your skills, we encourage you to apply.

Benefits & Growth:

• Generous and competitive benefits package
• New hire stock equity (RSUs) and employee stock purchase plan
• Continuous career development and pathing opportunities
• Employee-focused best in class onboarding
• Internal mentor and cross-departmental buddy program
• Friendly and inclusive workplace culture

Benefits and Growth listed above may vary based on the country of your employment and the nature of your employment with Datadog.

Datadog offers a competitive salary and equity package, and may include variable compensation. Actual compensation is based on factors such as the candidate's skills, qualifications, and experience. In addition, Datadog offers a wide range of best in class, comprehensive and inclusive employee benefits for this role including healthcare, dental, parental planning, and mental health benefits, a 401(k) plan and match, paid time off, fitness reimbursements, and a discounted employee stock purchase plan.

The reasonably estimated yearly salary for this role at Datadog is:

$94,000—$125,000 USD
