We're looking for an Executive Sourcer to find, engage and build relationships with the leaders who will shape Datadog's next chapter. You'll partner closely with executive recruiters, senior leadership and people partners to map talent markets, deliver upon confidential searches and get ahead of future leadership needs.

Beyond filling today's searches, you'll help executive hiring at Datadog and act as a trusted advisor to the business on the executive talent landscape through various project work.

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:

Contribute to Sr. Director+ searches across functions, from market mapping to candidate engagement and handoff.

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.
