About this role
Datadog's Deal Desk team sits at the intersection of sales, legal, finance, and product—structuring complex SaaS deals and providing quoting support to the global sales organization. In this senior role, you'll own deal architecture and pricing strategy, working directly with customers on negotiations while ensuring compliance with internal controls and revenue recognition principles. As the business scales, this position offers real opportunity to shape how deals get done across a fast-growing company.
You'll need at least four years of deal desk experience with demonstrated expertise in structuring SaaS transactions, plus solid knowledge of revenue recognition. The role demands strong communication and attention to detail, comfort negotiating with customers, and the ability to work independently under pressure while juggling multiple stakeholders. Familiarity with Salesforce, CPQ tools, and advanced Excel skills are valuable; experience with both would be a meaningful advantage.
This is a hybrid role in San Francisco with a salary range of $94,000–$125,000, complemented by equity, comprehensive benefits, and career development support. The position suits someone who enjoys solving complex problems at the intersection of sales and operations, and who can balance customer needs against company policy without losing sight of either.
