Senior Capture Manager

Senior Capture Manager, Federal Systems Integrators

As the Senior Capture Manager, Federal Systems Integrators (FSI), you will lead joint capture and channel coordination across Datadog's federal systems integrator and prime-contractor ecosystem, serving as the connective tissue between those partners and Datadog's internal federal sales teams. You will make sure capture activity happening inside FSI partner organizations is visible to, aligned with, and reinforced by Datadog's own federal sellers, and vice versa, so that partner-led and direct-led motions strengthen a pursuit rather than duplicate or collide with it. The role reports to the Channel & Alliances (C&A) organization and works cross-functionally with federal sales, distribution (Carahsoft, Vertosoft), deal desk, and legal to drive joint capture outcomes on priority federal pursuits.

At Datadog, we place value in our office culture - the relationships and collaboration it builds, and the creativity it brings to the table. We operate as a hybrid workplace to ensure our Datadogs can create a work-life harmony that best fits them.

Who You Are

Datadog values people from all walks of life. We understand not everyone will meet all the above qualifications on day one. That's okay. If you're passionate about technology and want to grow your skills, we encourage you to apply.

How Success Is Measured

This role carries defined leading indicators rather than a direct bookings quota, since captures in this motion typically run 12-24 months before transferring to an AE/PSM for close. Success is measured through capture plan completeness and quality, the rate at which programs advance through discovery, partner teaming, and architectural inclusion, and the portfolio's contribution to qualified sourced pipeline and closed bookings over time. Detailed year-over-year targets are tracked internally as part of the C&A scorecard.

Benefits and Growth

Benefits and Growth listed above may vary based on the country of your employment and the nature of your employment with Datadog.

This role carries an 85/15 base-to-MBO pay mix, where MBO refers to Management by Objectives. This is not a quota-carrying position; the MBO component is tied to the leading indicators and outcomes described above. Datadog offers a competitive salary and equity package. Actual compensation is based on factors such as the candidate's skills, qualifications, and experience. In addition, Datadog offers a wide range of best-in-class, comprehensive and inclusive employee benefits for this role including healthcare, dental, parental planning, and mental health benefits, a 401(k) plan and match, paid time off, fitness reimbursements, and a discounted employee stock purchase plan.
