About the role
- The Datadog Security design team is hiring a senior product design manager to lead design across security products.
- This role involves leading a team of designers across cloud, code, and data security to turn complex signals into actionable insights for security practitioners.
Responsibilities
- Lead design direction across your team's products, and hold the bar for design excellence end to end: interactions, visual detail, consistency and cohesion.
- Run critiques, give direct and useful feedback, and push the team toward bolder, more opinionated solutions rather than safe ones.
- Coach and grow designers across our Paris, Madrid and New York offices, helping each of them do the best work of their careers.
- Help define a security design system built on top of Datadog's existing components, with the security practitioner's workflows in mind.
- Partner with Product and Engineering leaders to evolve cross-platform thinking, shape roadmaps, and to set how the three disciplines work together day to day.
- Take accountability for the product and business outcomes your team's design work influences.
- Bring AI fluency to how your team works, from how design gets explored and validated to how it gets shipped.
Requirements
- 10+ years in design, including experience leading and growing high-performing teams.
- A design leader first: a user advocate with a sharp eye for detail, strong taste and the willingness to get into the work and give direct feedback.
- A track record of leveling up a team's output, with before-and-after examples of how your leadership transformed the design of a product.
- You've led complex products or features: a zero-to-one launch, a reimagining of something established, or both.
- A strong communicator who collaborates effectively with executive and cross-functional stakeholders.
- Able to demonstrate AI fluency, either in your own work or in how you've led teams through it.
- Comfortable navigating the technical complexity of modern software development and cloud infrastructure.
Preferred qualifications
- Security domain experience, or a portfolio of information-dense, data-rich interfaces.
Benefits
- Product training to develop an in-depth understanding of our product and space
- Continuous career development and pathing opportunities for internal mobility
- Intradepartmental mentor and buddy program for in-house networking
- An inclusive company culture, ability to join our Community Guilds (Datadog employee resource groups)
- New hire stock equity (RSUs) and employee stock purchase plan
- Free, global mental health benefits for employees and dependents age 6+
- Generous global benefits
Workplace
- We operate as a hybrid workplace to ensure our Datadogs can create a work-life harmony that best fits them.
