About this role
Datadog is looking for a Customer Success Manager to serve the DACH region from Dublin on a hybrid, contract basis. You'll own the full lifecycle of customer growth—from smooth onboarding through identifying expansion opportunities and managing renewals. The role blends relationship building with commercial acumen: you'll partner closely with sales, monitor how customers use the platform, surface adoption gaps, and negotiate upsells and cross-sells independently. You'll also advocate internally across support, product, finance, and legal teams to ensure customers get maximum value from the observability platform.
The ideal candidate brings 5–7 years in customer-facing account roles, strong negotiation skills, and comfort operating in a fluid, solution-focused environment. You're a communicator who thrives on building trust and driving visible impact. Datadog emphasizes that experience doesn't need to be perfect on day one if you're genuinely motivated by the work and technology.
Datadog offers structured support to help you succeed: comprehensive onboarding, formal sales training (MEDDIC and Command of the Message), mentorship, stock equity, and ongoing professional development. The company operates as a hybrid workplace and values an inclusive culture.
