About the role
- You move beyond what data confirms to anticipate where customer needs and competitive dynamics are heading before the data makes it obvious, acting effectively even when signals are incomplete.
- This role can be in-office, flexible (hybrid), or remote in the United States.
Responsibilities
- Anticipatory Customer Discovery: Maintain deep market and customer knowledge across a complex domain, reading subtle signals across developers, framework maintainers, and enterprise buyers to anticipate unstated customer needs and competitive dynamics (including how AI-native tooling is reshaping developer expectations)
- Go-To-Market & Field Enablement: Drive go-to-market messaging strategy alongside Product Marketing
- anticipate enablement or positioning gaps closely enough to drive cross-functional work-engaging with developer communities, hopping on sales calls, and publishing blog posts-before major launches or key deals
- Communication & Executive Influence: Deliver difficult or incomplete messages directly across leadership levels with a clear point of view, using reasoned arguments and data to influence without authority, including explaining the rationale behind what you will and won't build
- Customer Engagement: Manage high-stakes enterprise customer conversations independently, converting pain points into roadmap contributions and bringing in leadership only when trade-offs extend beyond your domain
- Craft Mentorship: Mentor more junior PMs in developing roadmap judgment, customer intuition, and trade-off framing, helping them move from reporting facts to defending clear points of view
- Go-To-Market & Field Enablement: Drive go-to-market messaging strategy alongside Product Marketing; anticipate enablement or positioning gaps closely enough to drive cross-functional work-engaging with developer communities, hopping on sales calls, and publishing blog posts-before major launches or key deals
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience in product management, technical product delivery, or software engineering, with a track record of owning complex, business-critical product areas.
- Deep domain expertise in developer tools, client libraries, database drivers, ORMs/ODMs, or application framework integrations
- Proven capability to spot delivery, technical, and operational risks early across complex cross-team dependencies
- 5+ years of experience in product management, technical product delivery, or software engineering, with a track record of owning complex, business-critical product areas. Ideally with SDKs, developer tools, APIs, or client-facing libraries
- Strong technical fluency in at least one major programming language, alongside real familiarity with how developers construct applications using drivers, ORMs, or ODMs
- Demonstrated ability to make sound product and roadmap decisions under ambiguity using incomplete signals (support issues, usage telemetry, community sentiment)
- Track record of building actionable business cases, including adoption modeling and financial justification for new product capabilities or ecosystem investments
- Strong cross-functional influence without direct reporting authority, with the confidence to deliver direct, transparent messages to senior stakeholders and pitch to business unit owners internally and externally
- Excellent oral, written, and customer-facing presentation skills, with experience managing high-stakes enterprise customer and developer community conversations
Nice to have
- Familiarity with MongoDB specifically, or with how ODM/framework ecosystems (e.g., EF Core, Hibernate, Laravel, Django, Spring Data) relate to an underlying database's driver layer
- Familiarity with how AI-native tooling (agent frameworks, AI SDKs embedded in traditional frameworks) is reshaping developer expectations of client libraries
- MongoDB's unified data platform, the most widely available, globally distributed data platform on the market, helps organizations modernize legacy workloads, embrace innovation, and unleash AI.
- Our cloud-native platform, MongoDB Atlas, is the only globally distributed, multi-cloud data platform and is available across AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure.
