And, where relevant, owns the pricing and monetization strategy for the product line.

We are looking to speak to candidates who are based in New York City for our hybrid working model.

• PM Excellence: Elevate the global standard of product management by mentoring Staff and Senior PMs and pioneering new data-driven playbooks across the organization. Create frameworks and standards for customer and market research that others use for conducting high-quality customer and market research
• Cross-Functional Alignment and Execution: Partner with Directors and VPs to shape investment allocation and sequencing across the query, developer experiences, and core database portfolio
• Market and Engagement: Act as a primary external face for the product line, representing MongoDB to the industry, developers, standards bodies and at major conferences
