Our client is a fast-growing modern consulting and managed services firm that partners with high-growth software vendors to help customers modernize their observability and IT operations stack. As a top Datadog partner Globally, they deliver implementation projects, enablement, custom development, and long-term managed services to enterprises across the globe.

We’re hiring a Senior Account Executive to expand their Datadog services practice across EMEA. This role is based in London and focused on selling both project-based services and managed services offerings to Datadog customers – in close partnership with the Datadog field team.

What You’ll Do

  • Own and grow a territory in close collaboration with Datadog EMEA reps and partner teams
  • Drive net new pipeline and close services deals — implementation, enablement, integrations, managed observability, and more
  • Build relationships with Datadog AEs, SEs, and partner managers to unlock joint opportunities
  • Maintain high in-field presence via customer meetings, Datadog events, QBRs, and workshops
  • Work hand-in-hand with RapDev delivery leaders and architects to scope, price, and deliver high-quality services
  • Serve as a trusted advisor to customers on observability best practices and how to accelerate Datadog adoption
  • Represent RapDev in the field – someone Datadog AEs want to introduce to their customers
  • Travel as needed across the region to support key relationships and deals (20–40%)

What We’re Looking For:

  • 10+ years of experience in enterprise sales, solutions consulting, or services delivery
  • Background in consulting or professional services (preferred)
  • Or deep experience selling or implementing observability platforms like Datadog, Dynatrace, AppDynamics, Splunk, or New Relic
  • Entrepreneurial mindset – you thrive in less-structured environments, build your own motion, and hunt for opportunity
  • Proven ability to work independently while staying tightly aligned with internal and external teams
  • Strong presence, emotional intelligence, and ability to build trust with enterprise buyers
  • A likable, credible, and partner-friendly style – you’ll be an extension of the Datadog team in-region
  • Familiarity with SOWs, project scoping, pricing strategies, and services packaging
  • Experience with managed services or recurring services-based revenue models (a plus)

Why Join?

  • High-growth business with an elite reputation in the Datadog ecosystem
  • Direct line to senior leadership, ability to shape GTM strategy
  • Opportunity to build the EMEA business with flexibility and autonomy
  • Lean, execution-focused team with zero red tape
  • Competitive compensation, benefits, and commission plans
