Curriculum Manager

<p>Reporting to the Senior Manager, Enablement Curriculum and working across a cross-functional Enablement team, you'll build learning experiences that hold up in the field - objectives, practice, assessment, and the content that carries them. This is a builder's role. You'll decide how the learning actually works, and you'll own the quality of what ships.</p> <p class="p1"><em>At Datadog, we place value in our office culture - the relationships and collaboration it builds and the creativity it brings to the table.
