- Communication & Influence: Outstanding communication skills with ability to influence leadership and senior stakeholders across multiple regions. Experience facilitating cross-cultural collaboration. Fluency in English required; additional European languages preferred
- Cultural Understanding: Understanding of EMEA business environments, including cultural nuances, regulatory requirements, and market dynamics. Experience working across multiple countries with awareness of local business practices and customer needs
- PMO Maturity: Proven experience implementing PMO frameworks, governance structures, and maturity models. Knowledge of portfolio management best practices, resource optimization techniques, and value realization methodologies
- Change Leadership: Experience leading organizational transformation and change management initiatives. Ability to drive the successful adoption of new processes, tools, and methodologies across distributed teams. Track record of building consensus and managing resistance to change

Our take
MongoDB is an open-source, cross-platform, document-oriented database system. It stores data as JSON-like documents and is written in C++, Go, JavaScript and Python.
Essentially, the company develops tools and blueprints to help businesses and organisations modernise their legacy applications, migrating them to the MongoDB database and the MongoDB Atlas cloud database. With this initiative, MongoDB is particularly taking aim at Oracle customers with ageing applications running on the Oracle relational database system.
Since its release, MongoDB has become one of the most popularly used NoSQL database systems due to its ease of use and efficiency. It is also the fastest-growing database ecosystem, and boasts hundreds of millions of downloads. Recently, the company announced a partnership with Patronus AI, an automated evaluation and security platform, through which it will bring automated LLM evaluation and testing capabilities to enterprise customers.
