Senior Capture Manager, Federal Systems Integrators - Public Sector As the Senior Capture Manager, Federal Systems Integrators (FSI), you will lead joint capture and channel coordination across Datadog's federal systems integrator and prime-contractor ecosystem, serving as the connective tissue between those partners and Datadog's internal federal sales teams. You will make sure capture activity happening inside FSI partner organizations is visible to, aligned with, and reinforced by Datadog's own federal sellers, and vice versa, so that partner-led and direct-led motions strengthen a pursuit rather than duplicate or collide with it. The role reports to the Channel & Alliances (C&A) organization and works cross-functionally with federal sales, distribution (Carahsoft, Vertosoft), deal desk, and legal to drive joint capture outcomes on priority federal pursuits. Travel: Less than 25% Clearance: An active U.S. government security clearance is preferred but not required. Candidates without an active clearance are encouraged to apply.

This role shapes response strategy and reviews submissions but is not solely responsible for authoring them. Advance qualified pursuits through customer discovery, partner teaming, and architectural inclusion, then transfer qualified pursuits to Account Executives (AEs) and Partner Sales Managers (PSMs) for execution Build durable working relationships with FSI partner capture and Business Development (BD) leads and with Datadog's federal account teams so coordination happens proactively, not only when escalated Who You Are: 8-10+ years of experience in capture management, channel/alliances, or business development within U.S. federal technology sales, with direct exposure to partner-led (sell-thru) motions through systems integrators or primes Experience specifically bridging channel/alliance partners and internal direct sales teams, ideally in a partner-liaison or joint-capture role rather than a standalone direct capture role Working knowledge of government contract vehicles (GSA Schedule, SEWP) and how pricing, SKUs, and quoting flow through public sector distributors such as Carahsoft and Vertosoft Established relationships with, or experience working alongside, major federal systems integrators and primes Working familiarity with cloud infrastructure, observability, cybersecurity, or DevSecOps concepts, sufficient to represent Datadog's technical category credibly with partners and agencies Confident resolving channel conflict diplomatically, able to align a partner-side team and an internal federal team on a single approach without either side feeling sidelined Able to quickly understand deal structure concepts relevant to multi-partner environments - MFN clauses, teaming agreements, pricing consistency across distributors - and explain them to others verbally and in writing Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including translating between partner-facing and internal-facing audiences Datadog values people from all walks of life.
