Company mission
To empower innovators to create, transform, and disrupt industries by unleashing the power of software and data.
Role
Who you are
- You have excellent judgment and create the agenda. You can take in a lot of information and quickly figure out what matters, what doesn’t, and where the real story is. You proactively raise ideas and opportunities and turn them into action
- You understand the technology and the industry. You are fluent enough in AI, application architecture, and data infrastructure to engage credibly with technical executives, developers, product leaders, technical media, and analysts
- You know how influence works to drive outcomes. You have strong media and analyst relationships, understand social and influencer ecosystems, and are curious about where audiences are moving and how AI is changing discovery and recommendation
- You are a strong executive counselor. You can work with senior executives, challenge their thinking when needed, and help turn an interesting idea into a point of view people remember
- You are a strong operator and global leader. You build and develop strong teams and culture, create clarity when things are messy, and turn complicated, high-stakes moments into clear plans with owners, decisions, and deadlines
What the job involves
- This is not a traditional corporate communications role. You will work closely with the CMO, CEO, and our technical leaders to sharpen the ideas we want to be known for and make sure they reach the people — and increasingly the AI systems — shaping technology decisions
- This role will lead the evolution of communications for an AI-mediated world—using traditional media, creators, technical media, podcasts, and other trusted voices to shape what people think and influence the sources AI systems use to generate answers and recommendations
- Narrative and communications strategy: Partner with the CMO and MongoDB senior leadership to turn the company narrative into a clear external agenda and make sure it holds across executive communications, major company moments and various channels (media, analysts, social, etc.)
- Decision making: Bring strong judgment on what is worth talking about, where we have something differentiated to say, and how we make it land globally
- Executive communications: Build strong platforms for our CEO and other senior leaders and help sharpen their points of view and get them in front of the audiences that matter
- Media, social and influence: Lead how MongoDB shows up across traditional and technical media, social media, influencers, creators, podcasts, newsletters, and emerging platforms while building the relationships that matter and keep finding new ones as influence moves
- Industry analyst relations: Build strong, strategic relationships with the analysts shaping how enterprises understand the market and MongoDB’s position in it
- The big moments: Own how MongoDB’s story lands in the market at major company moments. From launches, keynotes and earnings to partnerships, competitive moments and reputation issues. Bring together market insight, product positioning and proof, and developer perspective into one coherent narrative, then lead the media, analyst and influencer strategy, timing and execution that makes it land
- Leading the global communications team: Build and lead a strong team across corporate, executive, product, analyst, social, internal, and regional communications, with a clear global strategy that works across markets
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 organizations modernize 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.
