• Build and nurture long-term relationships with senior leaders and passive talent, representing Datadog with credibility.
• Run confidential searches with care, protecting sensitive information about candidates, and Datadog alike.
• Use market data, talent maps and pipeline insights to shape search strategy, calibrate stakeholders and influence hiring decisions.
• Partner with executive recruiters, hiring executives, candidates and People Partners to align on role needs, talent profiles and search progress.
• Support succession planning by identifying internal and external successors for critical leadership roles.
• Anticipate future executive talent needs and build proactive pipelines ahead of demand.
• Act as a trusted advisor to the business on leadership talent trends, competitor org structures and compensation signals.
• Improve executive sourcing practices, tools and reporting to raise the bar for the team.

Who you are:

• 7+ years of sourcing or recruiting experience, with meaningful time focused on executive or senior leadership talent.
• A track record of supporting executive stakeholders and earning their trust.
• Sound judgment and discretion handling sensitive information.
• Comfort using data to tell a story, set expectations and influence decisions.
• Strong partnership skills across recruiters, executives, candidates and people partners.
• Experience with, or a strong interest in, succession planning and proactive talent pipelining.
• Advanced sourcing skills, including market mapping, passive outreach and creative research beyond LinkedIn.
• Clear, polished communication that represents the company well with senior candidates.
