Description
Datadog is looking for a Curriculum Manager to build and manage enablement curriculum for our EMEA Sales and Customer Success teams.
Reporting to the Senior Manager, Sales Enablement Curriculum and working across a cross-functional Enablement team, you'll build learning experiences that hold up in the field - objectives, practice, assessment, and the content that carries them.
This is a builder's role. You'll decide how the learning actually works, and you'll own the quality of what ships.
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.
Who you are:
- An owner: You take pride in your outputs and their outcomes. You take ownership from design through launch and everything that comes after it.
- An innovator: You challenge the status quo, bring new ideas, and look for ways to improve what already exists.
- An agile problem solver: You shift seamlessly between detail and big picture to meet the moment, adapting to change with a solutions-oriented mindset.
- A lifelong learner: You challenge assumptions and use curiosity to drive continuous improvement.
- A trusted advisor: You ask sharp questions, synthesize complex ideas, and build relationships to understand and explain ambiguous concepts.
- A clear communicator: You bring structure, clarity and polish to your work - written, verbal or visual.
What you'll do:
- Build the curriculum for EMEA Commercial Sales and Customer Success. Develop high-quality enablement content (instructor-led materials, facilitator guides, eLearning, job aids and assessments) for both individual contributors and their frontline leaders, built to instructional design and adult learning principles.
- Build within the learner journey. Contribute to and build the components of role-specific journeys (onboarding, everboarding and on-demand) inside the curriculum arc for your area.
- Know what good looks like. Translate performance expectations into observable behaviors and clear proficiency standards.
- Turn business problems into learning design. Partner with Program Management and Strategy & Operations to identify the key behaviors and knowledge a program needs to shift, and design the learning that gets there.
- Own the learning objectives for the programs you build, and design assessments that measure against them.
- Build programs that drive durable behavior change. Design practice, reinforcement and refresher paths into programs.
- Develop content with build partners and other Enablement teams, including subject matter experts who don't report to you, and manage your build schedule so programs meet quality standards and timelines.
- Partner with facilitators, operations teams and test audiences to ensure successful rollouts of new and updated programs.
- Help maintain the programs you build, keeping content accurate, current and consistent after launch.
- Use AI well. Use AI for scripting, storyboards, assessment drafting and learner-feedback analysis, and coach peers on responsible AI-assisted content creation.
Your experience:
- 4–5 years in Enablement, Learning & Development, Sales, Revenue Operations or similar (bonus points for a combination)
- Proven track record designing and building enablement content with measurable learner impact
- Working knowledge of adult learning principles and a learning design methodology (e.g. ADDIE or equivalent)
