Full job description

We’re hiring a Compensation Specialist to join the compensation team as we continue to grow! Compensation at Datadog is a data-driven team dedicated to constantly improving the way we hire, develop, and support our most valuable asset: our people.

In this role, you will support core compensation programs while developing particular expertise in executive compensation, compensation planning for new-market entry, and mergers and acquisitions. You will partner with stakeholders across the People team, Finance, Legal, Tax, Payroll, and other business functions to analyze complex compensation questions and translate findings into clear, actionable recommendations.

Whether you’re looking to learn from the best or be the best, the People team is dedicated to furthering personal development and team success.

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:

Analyze complex business problems and issues using data from internal and external sources to provide insight to decision-makers including PBPs, People Leadership, and other Senior Leadership at Datadog
Support the design, administration, and governance of executive compensation programs, including executive benchmarking and compensation-related materials for senior leadership and the Compensation Committee
Assist with annual executive compensation planning processes and the preparation and validation of compensation data used in public-company disclosures
Support compensation planning for entry into new countries and markets, including market-pricing approaches, salary structures, statutory compensation requirements, pay practices, and implementation considerations
Support compensation due diligence and integration for mergers and acquisitions, including employee census reviews, job and level mapping, compensation comparisons, incentive and equity analyses, retention planning, and compensation harmonization
Partner closely with People Business Partners to provide relevant compensation analyses

Who you are:

4+ of compensation or related experience
Attention to detail and analytically driven
Experience leading efforts around market pricing, annual compensation cycles, compensation plan/structure design
Experience in executive compensation and compensation committee preparation a strong plus
A collaborative, self-starter mindset with the ability to flex and think critically
Some understanding of RSUs and other equity offerings
The ability to distill large and complex data sets into digestible, relevant points supporting recommendations
A commitment to maintaining the highest level of confidentiality and utilizing appropriate tact and professionalism
Awareness of global compensation principles and regulations
Ability to balance multiple priorities
Workday experience preferred

Datadog values people from all walks of life. We understand not everyone will meet all the above qualifications on day one. That’s okay. If you’re passionate about technology and want to grow your skills, we encourage you to apply.

Benefits and Growth:

New hire stock equity (RSU) and employee stock purchase plan (ESPP)
Continuous professional development, product training, and career pathing
Intra-departmental mentor and buddy program for in-house networking
An inclusive company culture, opportunity to join our Community Guilds
Generous and competitive benefits package
Continuous career development and pathing opportunities

Benefits and Growth listed above may vary based on the country of your employment and the nature of your employment with Datadog.
