Customer Success Manager (Key Accounts)

As a Customer Success Manager, you will proactively drive new product attachment and effective strong relationships across our existing customer base through on-boarding, up-selling and cross selling. You’ll advocate for the customer internally and focus on a positive customer experience. Interactions are rooted in relationship-management, first and foremost, while also advocating for growth opportunities. Customer Success Managers follow a well-defined methodology that helps them identify the customer's unique needs and clearly convey the value of the Datadog product. 

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.

What You’ll Do: 

• Partner with the sales team to ensure smooth transition and onboarding experience

• Proactively build relationships with customers to create mutual trust

• Successfully carry-out the full-sales cycle for any growth opportunities in existing customer accounts

• Act as advisor to customers to ensure they’re leveraging the Datadog solution effectively

• Monitor and identify usage trends to uncover renewal risks and promote greater adoption rates

• Collaborate cross-functionally across internal Datadog teams (Support, Product, Finance, and Legal)

Who You Are:

• A strong communicator with excellent attention to detail

• Motivated by building long-term and long-lasting relationships

• Driven by the opportunity to make a visible impact with your work

• 5+ years of experience in a customer account facing role

• Customer-minded, always aiming to provide the most value possible

• Excited by working in an ever-evolving and fluid solution focused environment

• Experienced in negotiating contract terms and overcoming pricing objections without direct guidance for up-sell and cross sell activities

• Proven track record of achieving account expansion targets, with success measured by the growth and retention of a portfolio of accounts

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.
