The opportunity:

Datadog is seeking an Event Marketing Manager to join our high-performing team and support third-party events and tradeshows across the EMEA region. As a key member of Datadog's Event Marketing team – the driving force behind our high-impact, experiential marketing programs – you will play a critical role in executing best-in-class events that generate leads, pipeline, and scale our brand presence. With hundreds of events run globally each year, this role requires someone who is highly organized, detail-oriented, and thrives in a fast-paced environment. The ideal candidate has a proven track record of delivering high-quality event experiences, consistently meeting deadlines, and collaborating cross-functionally. If you're passionate about creating impactful brand experiences and excited to help shape Datadog's event footprint across EMEA, we'd love to hear from you!

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 Datadog's end-to-end presence at large-scale third-party (sponsored) events in EMEA, including strategy, planning, logistics, onsite execution, staffing, audience engagement, and performance measurement.
• Uphold high standards for live event experiences, ensuring strong brand alignment and delivering programs accountable for measurable pipeline contribution — leads generated, opportunities influenced, and pipeline created — with every investment decision defensible with data.
• Evaluate sponsorship packages and make activation investment decisions (tier selection, add-ons, what to cut) grounded in pipeline return; support contract preparation, negotiation, and vendor management.
• Leverage AI tools to accelerate event research, vendor evaluation, briefing documents, post-event reporting, and stakeholder communications — improving speed and quality of outputs.
• Partner closely with the broader EMEA Marketing team to ensure cohesive regional planning and integrated execution.
