Datadog is looking for an L&D Senior Facilitator to design, deliver, and enhance learning programs that advance the company’s performance and strengthen our culture.

You will have the opportunity to make a big impact at Datadog by being the first L&D person sitting in the Paris office and enabling our People team to deliver more frequent and effective learning programs globally. A critical focus of this role is instructor-led facilitation, through which you will empower our global population to upskill and learn in real-time through connection, discussion, and practice. You will help unlock the potential of current and future employees by leading engaging, impactful, and enjoyable learning experiences. This role will also involve partnering with stakeholders across the business (with a focus on EMEA & APAC) and within the People team to ensure we are offering high-quality learning & development programming that meet the unique needs of all participants.

• Contribute to special projects such as mentorship, DEI, new hire onboarding, system integration and optimization, and other people programs that help us recruit, develop, and retain top talent

• Work in lock step with multiple dynamic active programs and program managers requiring different capture systems and modes of communication

• Work with a team of seasoned facilitators to continually challenge, support and drive each other in skill building and refining expertise
