Senior Employer Brand Marketing Manager - Americas

Datadog’s Employer Brand Marketing (EBM) team is a collaborative group of content creators, growth marketers, and event strategists working to attract top talent around the globe. We’re looking for an organized and creative Senior Employer Brand Manager to lead our talent brand identity and growth efforts across the Americas.

This role is ideal for a seasoned marketer who knows how to build a trusted employer brand, whether that’s launching campaigns in new markets, managing employer reputation, or scaling organic and paid media efforts. You’ll work closely with our global Employer Brand team—including our Growth Marketing Lead, regional Employer Brand Managers, and Events team—to increase awareness and engagement among engineering and sales talent in AMER.

The Senior Employer Brand Manager will be responsible for building and executing an employer brand roadmap, with a focus on brand and content. You’ll lead integrated, multi-platform campaigns and collaborate closely with our People, Creative, and Corporate Marketing teams. Leveraging data, insights, and best practices, you’ll build plans and execute campaigns and content to reach and engage technical and business talent, generate qualified leads, and drive measurable results for the business.

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:

• Develop and execute strategies to build awareness and affinity for Datadog as an employer among engineering and sales audiences.
• Partner with cross-functional teams to align employer brand efforts with the broader people and talent strategy.
• Lead the planning, execution, and optimization of integrated campaigns across organic and paid social, blog, website and CRM content, paid program, employee advocacy, and more.
• Create content and assets tailored to specific candidate personas and platforms.
• Highlight authentic employee stories and culture through compelling storytelling.
• Use data to assess performance, measure impact on sentiment and hiring outcomes, and optimize future efforts.
• Drive collaboration across internal teams to ensure consistency in EBM initiatives across AMER and emerging markets.
• Maintain clear and organized documentation (budgets, OKRs, roadmaps, reporting).
• Build regular reports to communicate impact, insights, and learnings.
  

Who You Are:

• 7+ years of global integrated marketing experience, including 1+ years focused on Employer Brand Marketing.
• You’re both a planner and a do-er: comfortable setting strategy and rolling up your sleeves to execute.
• Proven ability to shape and grow an employer brand, especially for technical and sales talent.
• An excellent writer, able to craft engaging, on-brand content across platforms. Bonus: experience with tools like Canva, Adobe Express, or similar.
• Comfortable managing and optimizing multiple concurrent campaigns, adapting messaging for different audiences and channels.
• Ability to develop compelling, targeted messaging and recruiter talk tracks that resonate with passive and active candidates.
• You use insights to drive decisions and you’re quick to adapt when the data tells you to shift course.
• You can take a project from idea to execution independently, managing everything from research to analysis.
• A collaborative teammate with a bias for action and a passion for authentic, human storytelling.

A day in the life:

You might start your morning reviewing performance metrics from a recently launched social campaign, checking what’s resonating and identifying opportunities to optimize. Next, you’re meeting with Recruiting to get a detailed brief on hiring needs in a new market, asking smart questions to shape your go-to-market approach.

After lunch, you’re editing a blog post that spotlights a senior engineer’s unique career path, then jumping on a sync with the global Employer Brand team to align on campaign timelines. You close out the day experimenting with new social formats to tell our story in fresh ways.

Every day, you’ll balance strategy and execution, crafting meaningful narratives and driving measurable impact.

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.
