Manager, Global Entity Management

The posting, as Datadog wrote it

About the role

Datadog employs roughly 8,100 people across 35 countries through global subsidiaries, all under a Nevada parent. Some are operating companies. Others came to us through acquisitions. We open in new markets often enough that the structure is always moving, and we manage it in Diligent Entities. This role owns it.

The work is entity formation and maintenance in many jurisdictions, corporate records and statutory filings, and daily coordination with the Finance, Tax and People teams. You will deal directly with government agencies, registries, registered agents and local counsel around the world. You will also be the person the rest of the company asks whenever a question touches our corporate structure.

The role sits in Legal Operations, and you will report to our Senior Director, Legal Operations, who has supported entity management operations in the past. Our Associate General Counsel, Corporate & Securities owns the work product and sets the standards for entity management and for our securities filings. Legal Operations runs the function; Corporate & Securities owns the substance.

The placement also gives you breadth. Legal Operations covers legal technology and systems, process design, outside counsel and spend operations, restricted party and sanctions screening, product legal support, and the department's AI work. We expect to cross-train you across those areas over time, and to cross-train colleagues into entity work. Entity management will remain the substantial majority of this job.

On AI in particular, Legal Operations is where most of that work happens for the legal department. We look at how our current tools could be used better, we assess new ones, and we look for ways to extend AI into systems that were never built with it in mind. If you look at a manual process and wonder whether software should be doing it, there is room here for that.

On the securities side of the role

You will also handle Section 16 filings (Forms 3, 4 and 5), Forms 144 and Rule 10b5-1 plan administration, supervised by our Associate General Counsel, Corporate & Securities, who trains the team on it. Prior public company reporting experience is welcome but not required. We have trained people into this work before and it went well. What we need is someone who wants to learn it and who will hold the deadlines once trained.
