The opportunity
The Datadog Security design team (K9 Design, as we lovingly call it) is hiring a senior product design manager to lead design across our security products. This is a chance to shape an industry-leading experience for a new kind of Datadog user: security practitioners who need to…
What you'll do
Lead design direction across your team's products, and hold the bar for: design excellence end to end: interactions, visual detail, consistency and cohesion.
You're in the work. Run critiques, give direct and useful feedback, and push: the team toward bolder, more opinionated solutions rather than safe ones.
Coach and grow designers across our Paris, Madrid and New York offices,: helping each of them do the best work of their careers.
Help define a security design system built on top of Datadog's existing: components, with the security practitioner's workflows in mind.
Partner with Product and Engineering leaders to evolve cross-platform: thinking, shape roadmaps, and to set how the three disciplines work together day to day.
Take accountability for the product and business outcomes your team's design work influences.
What they're looking for
- + 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 the 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 the design of a product.
- 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.
- Ideally : Security domain experience, or a portfolio of information-dense,: data-rich interfaces. Industry-leading work on complex B2B, B2C or consumer products counts for just as much here.
