Senior Partner Manager - Channels (Public Sector)
As a Senior Partner Sales Manager (PSM), you will own and advance a portfolio of mature, revenue-ready public sector partners to help execute Datadog’s mission across government and regulated industries. This role is focused on operating at scale—protecting and growing existing business while uncovering net-new opportunities and accelerating adoption within new government agencies and programs. You will work closely with Systems Integrators, MSPs, and VARs to embed partners into account strategy, co-sell motions, and agency pursuits, partnering tightly with Datadog’s field sales teams to drive measurable outcomes. This position requires a seasoned partner leader with strong judgment, a bias for execution, and the ability to translate partner maturity into sustained revenue growth and expanded public sector impact.
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:
- Own and advance a portfolio of established, revenue-ready public sector partners (SIs, MSPs, VARs), focusing on driving consistent outcomes rather than early-stage recruitment.
- Protect and expand existing Datadog footprint by aligning partners to active customer deployments, renewals, and expansion opportunities across government agencies.
- Uncover and accelerate net-new opportunities by embedding partners into account strategy, agency pursuits, and co-sell motions with Datadog field teams.
- Partner closely with sales to prioritize high-value agencies and programs, ensuring partners are positioned early and effectively in the buying lifecycle.
- Run structured partner operating cadences (QBRs, pipeline reviews, account planning) focused on revenue, adoption, and execution—not activity for activity’s sake.
- Drive measurable partner-sourced and partner-influenced pipeline, holding partners accountable for outcomes and Datadog accountable for enablement and support.
Who You Are:
- 10+ years of experience in business development, strategic alliances, or channel sales within cloud services or SaaS organizations, with a track record of operating at scale with enterprise and public sector partners.
- Demonstrated success driving complex sales motions from opportunity identification through close, including influencing multi-stakeholder deals and building durable, executive-level partner relationships.
- Strong ability to understand technical concepts and architectural scenarios and translate them clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences, verbally and in writing.
- Willingness to travel approximately 15–20%, aligned to partner planning, executive engagement, and key customer moments rather than routine activity.
