Our Travel and Events team oversees the corporate travel program and internal events for Datadog.  The team helps to keep our employees safe, happy, and productive, which means every day is different. Facilitating business travel for many of our 8,000+ Datadogs around the globe, our travel program involves oversight of our airline and hotel partners as well as internal education of our travel policy. Events planned range from 50 person offsites to a 3,000+ person global sales conference including an annual sales incentive trip for some of our top performers.

Who You Are:

• A true people person with an empathetic and friendly demeanor


• Eager to learn, grow, and contribute with a positive, team-player attitude


• Flexible and adaptable, remaining calm under pressure


• Incredibly organized with strong time-management skills; able to move between tasks easily and adjust priorities accordingly
