Travel & Events Coordinator - NYC

Our Travel and Events team oversees the corporate travel program and internal events for Datadog.  The team helps to keep our employees safe, happy, and productive, which means every day is different. Facilitating business travel for many of our 8,000+ Datadogs around the globe, our travel program involves oversight of our airline and hotel partners as well as internal education of our travel policy. Events planned range from 50 person offsites to a 3,000+ person global sales conference including an annual sales incentive trip for some of our top performers.

We're looking for a Travel and Events Coordinator to join us in the New York office to help us scale our travel and events globally. This role will focus on our travel and internal events initiatives, while playing an active part in supporting our growing employee base around the world.

Who You Are:

• A true people person with an empathetic and friendly demeanor
• Eager to learn, grow, and contribute with a positive, team-player attitude
• Flexible and adaptable, remaining calm under pressure
• Incredibly organized with strong time-management skills; able to move between tasks easily and adjust priorities accordingly
• Someone who exhibits careful attention to detail when reviewing written materials and reliably grasp both explicit and implicit requirements
• Able to communicate clearly and concisely in writing and are comfortable writing full responses with just a few guiding bullet points

• An active listener and quick learner, picking up new systems with ease
• Able to stand for long periods and lift up to 25lb
• Able to work non-traditional hours if needed for events
• 3 years work experience in coordination/project management or a comparable role working for multiple stakeholders (including college internships)
