From the job posting
Datadog's brand is entering a new chapter, and we're looking for a Principal Copywriter, Brand Editorial to own and evolve how we sound. As the founding writer on a multidisciplinary team of designers, illustrators, motion artists, and producers, you'll shape the ideas and narratives that define how Datadog shows up in the world. You'll also build the systems, standards, and tools that help thousands of colleagues scale brand voice and the company. You'll go deep on how the products actually work, then turn that complexity into clear, powerful ideas. You'll pair exceptional craft with real conceptual ambition, and raise the bar on both. 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: • Define and evolve Datadog's writing style, tone, and point of view, setting a consistent quality bar across campaigns, events, web, video, social, product marketing, and other brand experiences. • Concept and write high-impact brand work, including campaigns, videos, launches, and major event experiences, as well as ongoing work across social, web, and sales enablement. …

Why this is a Stretch role

Skills that often transfer to marketing & content: writing for a specific audience, newsletters and communication, community building, creativity on a deadline.
