About this role
Datadog's Channels & Alliances Team is building a partner ecosystem to drive adoption of its multi-cloud monitoring platform, and this Senior Partner Manager role is central to that effort in the Mumbai region. You would own the full lifecycle of channel partnerships—recruiting Systems Integrators, Managed Service Providers, and Value Added Resellers, then enabling them through training, joint selling, and regular business reviews. Success means generating pipeline and revenue directly from these partners while coordinating technical and marketing support for their launches.
The role demands seven or more years in partner-facing or channel sales at cloud or SaaS companies, with a track record of closing deals and negotiating durable partnerships. You'll need to absorb technical concepts quickly and translate them for non-technical audiences, and experience managing premier Cloud MSP partners is a plus. The position is based in Mumbai and requires 20–30% travel. Datadog offers competitive compensation tied to your performance, equity grants, professional development, and an inclusive workplace culture, though specific benefits vary by country.
