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
