About the role

Senior product design manager to lead design across Datadog's security products, shaping an industry-leading experience for security practitioners across cloud, code, and data security.

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.
  • You're in the work. 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.

Qualifications

  • 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.
  • Ideally: Security domain experience, or a portfolio of information-dense, data-rich interfaces. Industry-leading work on complex B2B, B2C or consumer products counts for just as much here.
