Job description

The Principal CRO and Web Analyst will drive the insights, measurement, and experimentation that shape Datadog's website roadmap and improve how users discover, learn, and convert. You'll use data to uncover opportunities, size impact, guide prioritization across high-value pages and journeys, and inform audience segmentation and personalization. This role combines analytical depth, clear storytelling, and hands-on execution across testing and optimization while shaping the experimentation culture and strategy that the broader team operates within. You'll partner closely with Marketing, Product, and Web Engineering to deliver measurable gains in engagement and conversion.

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:

  • Own website analytics, KPI frameworks, and user behavior insights to inform the website roadmap
  • Identify performance gaps using data, benchmarks, funnel analysis, and user behavior patterns
  • Translate insights into clear recommendations, prioritization frameworks, and experimentation plans
  • Define and scale Datadog's web experimentation program, including testing strategy, methodology, and best practices
  • Improve engagement and conversion through testing, optimization, segmentation, and personalization initiatives
  • Partner with Marketing, Product, and Engineering to align experimentation with business priorities and present findings to senior leadership

Who You Are:

  • You have 10+ years of professional experience, including 6-8 years in conversion rate optimization, web analytics, experimentation, or a related field
  • You have strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to turn data into clear narratives and decisions
  • You have experience with user behavior data, funnel reporting, audience segmentation, and testing methodologies
  • You have experience with analytics and experimentation tools such as GA4, Metabase, Datadog Digital Experience tools, VWO, or similar platforms
  • You are comfortable influencing cross-functional teams and senior stakeholders, guiding prioritization and investment decisions using data
  • You bring strong attention to detail and high standards for data accuracy, instrumentation, and measurement integrity

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 & Growth:

  • Generous and competitive benefits package
  • New hire stock equity (RSUs) and employee stock purchase plan
  • Continuous career development and pathing opportunities
  • Employee-focused best in class onboarding
  • Internal mentor and cross-departmental buddy program
  • Friendly and inclusive workplace culture

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