Enablement Designer, Recruiting – 12-Month Engagement (NYC)Posted today$46K–$183K

The opportunity

Datadog is looking for a contract Enablement Designer for Recruiting and People to build and deliver the training content for our global team over a 12-month engagement. This is a hands-on build-and-facilitate role: you will design curriculum, produce content, and run live…

What you'll do

  • Design and build modular enablement content across the recruiting lifecycle:: intake, sourcing, assessment, closing, candidate experience, systems.

  • Produce it to a publishable standard: facilitator guides, participant materials, job aids, async modules, knowledge checks, and the LMS and SCORM packaging that gets them live.

  • Facilitate the core curriculum on an agreed cadence, including regional delivery.

  • Build the measurement layer: completion, confidence, and manager-reported readiness against a baseline.

  • Contribute the AI layer into existing manager development rather than building a parallel leader track.

  • Leave a maintainable content model: source files, owners, review cadence, update triggers.

What they're looking for

  • + years in Talent Acquisition, Enablement, Learning & Development, or: instructional design, with meaningful time inside or directly supporting a recruiting function
  • A prolific content builder: you can point to curricula, playbooks, and training materials you personally designed and shipped
  • A confident facilitator who can hold a room of experienced recruiters, in person and virtually
  • Fast to ramp and comfortable operating with limited hand-holding; you can: walk into a new organization, diagnose the gaps, and start producing
