Senior Manager, Product Design - Security

The Datadog Security design team (K9 Design) is hiring a senior product design manager to lead design across our security products. You will lead a team of designers across cloud, code, and data security, turning overwhelming signal into actionable insights for security teams. You will own the design, push for excellence, and partner closely with Product and Engineering leadership.

• Lead design direction across your team's products, holding the bar for design excellence end to end: interactions, visual detail, consistency, and cohesion.
• Run critiques, give direct and useful feedback, and push the team toward bolder, more opinionated solutions.
• Coach and grow designers across our Paris, Madrid, and New York offices.
• Help define a security design system built on top of Datadog's existing components.
• Partner with Product and Engineering leaders to evolve cross-platform thinking, shape roadmaps, and set how the three disciplines work together.
• Take accountability for product and business outcomes influenced by your team's design work.
• Bring AI fluency to how your team works, from design exploration to validation to shipping.

• 10+ years in design, including experience leading and growing high-performing teams.
• A design leader first: a user advocate with a sharp eye for detail, strong taste, and willingness to get into the work and give direct feedback.
• A track record of leveling up a team's output, with before-and-after examples of how your leadership transformed product design.
• You've led complex products or features: a zero-to-one launch, a reimagining of something established, or both.
• A strong communicator who collaborates effectively with executive and cross-functional stakeholders.
• Able to demonstrate AI fluency, either in your own work or in how you've led teams through it.
• Comfortable navigating the technical complexity of modern software development and cloud infrastructure.
• Requirement: Demonstrated ability to use AI coding tools in day-to-day workflows and validate, critique, and refine AI-generated output.
• Bonus/Plus: Motivated to push the boundaries of how AI can improve software engineering best practices and contribute to building AI-enabled products.
• Ideally: Security domain experience, or a portfolio of information-dense, data-rich interfaces. Industry-leading work on complex B2B, B2C, or consumer products counts just as much.

• Product training to develop an in-depth understanding of our product and space.
• Continuous career development and pathing opportunities for internal mobility.
• Intradepartmental mentor and buddy program for in-house networking.
• Inclusive company culture, ability to join our Community Guilds (Datadog employee resource groups).
• New hire stock equity (RSUs) and employee stock purchase plan.
• Free global mental health benefit through Modern Health.
• Generous global benefits.

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