# Senior Manager, Product Design - Security at Datadog

- **Company:** Datadog
- **Location:** Madrid, Spain / Paris, France
- **Posted:** 2026-10-15

- **Apply:** https://careers.datadoghq.com/detail/8279650/?gh_jid=8279650

## Job description

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 catch threats where they start, stop them when they land, and shut down exposures before they turn into something worse.

You'll lead a team of designers at various stages of their careers across cloud, code and data security, turning an overwhelming amount of signal into something a security team can act on. The goal: build the security product people want to spend their day in. You'll own the design, push for excellence, and partner closely with Product and Engineering leadership to get there.

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

- 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.
- Bring AI fluency to how your team works, from how design gets explored and validated to how it gets shipped.

## Who you are

- 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 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.

## Benefits and Growth

- 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
- An 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 benefits for employees and dependents age 6+
- 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.
