Datadog is hiring a Product Manager II

Datadog is looking for a Product Manager II to own strategic initiatives within the Custom Metrics product area. This high-impact role sits at the intersection of infrastructure, storage, pricing, governance, and AI, directly influencing customer retention, expansion, and monetization. You'll drive cross-product initiatives and own major parts of the roadmap.

What You'll Do

• Own major initiatives on the Custom Metrics roadmap, focusing on AI-driven governance, agentic workflows, and expansion into Infrastructure, Logs, and APM.
• Conduct regular customer conversations, analyze usage data and support feedback, and synthesize insights to inform product direction.
• Drive end-to-end execution for features and improvements—from concept and validation through launch and iteration.
• Define and track success metrics tied to adoption, usage, retention, and customer satisfaction.
• Partner closely with Engineering and Design to scope solutions, evaluate trade-offs, and deliver iterative value.
• Collaborate with adjacent product teams (e.g., Infrastructure, Logs, APM) to ensure alignment and smooth integrations.
• Co-lead feature launches with Marketing, Sales, and Customer Success, ensuring clear positioning and enablement.
• Use data and customer feedback post-launch to refine features and improve impact.
• Support customer conversations, including handling escalations and gathering direct feedback for the roadmap.

What We're Looking For

• 3 to 5 years of product management experience.
• Proven ownership of a product area or major feature set, driving initiatives from discovery through delivery and iteration.
• Strong product discovery skills: able to independently run interviews, analyze usage data, and translate insights into clear problem definitions.
• Comfortable operating independently within a defined scope, while aligning with broader product direction and company priorities.
• Strong technical aptitude and ability to partner effectively with engineers on infrastructure, data-heavy, or systems-oriented products.
• Experience defining KPIs and using data to guide prioritization and measure impact.
• Clear, concise communicator who can align cross-functional partners and maintain steady execution momentum.
• Demonstrated ability to make thoughtful decisions amid ambiguity, balancing customer value, technical feasibility, and business considerations.

Nice to Have

• Experience in technical B2B SaaS or platform products.

• New hire stock equity (RSUs) and employee stock purchase plan (ESPP).
• Continuous professional development, product training, and career pathing.
• Intra-departmental mentor and buddy program for in-house networking.
