Staff Product Manager

MongoDB's mission is to empower innovators to create, transform, and disrupt industries by unleashing the power of software and data. We enable organizations of all sizes to easily build, scale, and run modern applications by helping them modernize legacy workloads, embrace innovation, and unleash AI. Our industry-leading developer data platform, MongoDB Atlas, is the only globally distributed, multi-cloud database and is available in more than 115 regions across AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure. Atlas allows customers to build and run applications anywhere—on premises, or across cloud providers. With offices worldwide and over 175,000 new developers signing up to use MongoDB every month, it's no wonder that leading organizations, like Samsung and Toyota, trust MongoDB to build next-generation, AI-powered applications.

We are looking to speak to candidates who are based in Gurugram for our hybrid working model.

The Role

We are looking for an outstanding technical Staff Product Manager with deep experience of building advanced management systems for complex self-hosted systems. This person will be a key contributor to a Product team focused on ensuring that our most advanced customers have success self-hosting MongoDB Enterprise Advanced. They will help ensure that core database capabilities, such as workload management and operational resilience, are effectively managed and monitored within Enterprise Advanced. As our self-hosted offering, Enterprise Advanced is critical to enabling some of the most demanding customers - typically with workloads that are critical to customers' businesses, often with the highest security, availability and performance requirements. Many of these customers are looking to run MongoDB as a managed service within their own business using APIs and other programmatic tooling, and this role will lead on providing both the functionality and programmatic management experience that allows our customers to deliver a highly simplified MongoDB experience to their own customers.

This position will take ownership of a large portion of the Enterprise Advanced management experience, but collaborate as part of a team to continue driving and enhancing customer value from MongoDB Enterprise Advanced.

This role requires a driven self-starter who can take a high level of personal ownership and accountability, can work easily across multiple teams, is passionate about helping customers succeed, and enjoys working in a dynamic, fast-paced, and challenging environment.

The Team

We are a highly collaborative team of Product Managers, Engineers, Designers, Product Analysts, and Product Marketers, all working together to make the experience of working with data easy and enjoyable for developers.

We are a distributed team stretching from our offices in New Delhi, Berlin, Barcelona, the UK, NYC, to other locations in the US and worldwide. Every now and then, we all meet at one of our offices for project kickoffs, workshops, and other team events.

Role Responsibilities

• Own large portions of the Enterprise Advanced (EA) vision, strategy and roadmap for programmatic management and various management capabilities, to ensure customers have a frictionless experience self-hosting MongoDB for some of the most advanced, automated, demanding, and complex workloads
• Drive collaboration across Product, Engineering, Marketing, Sales, and Executive Leadership
• Lead the team to the right product decisions via deep engagement and research with customers, prospects, internal stakeholders, and partners
• Actively maintain a view of how the market, competition, and technologies are evolving, and factor that into product direction
• Bring a passion for careful data analysis to inform decisions
• Ability to enable and work with the various field teams, as well as with customers directly to appropriately map out customer use cases and requirements
• Advocate for our EA customers—including those programmatically automating management—with a passion for powerful but simplified management of advanced systems

Requirements

• 7+ years of product management or equivalent experience with advanced management systems for complex, distributed, and self-hosted systems. Particularly where such centralized management is delivered programmatically - via APIs or related tooling
• Solid technical skills. Our users are DBAs / developers / devops / ops engineers, and our product managers must be just as technical and have working knowledge in these areas to better advocate for our users. While not expected to write production code or be an expert in databases, you should be comfortable reviewing a PR, exploring APIs, and speaking authoritatively on any technical aspects of your portfolio's tools
• Expert-level proficiency in one or more advanced technical areas. Ideally, previous experience as a developer, operations engineer, or similar.
• Experience and demonstrated success in delivering software products to market
• Proven ability to balance strategic vision with tactical requirements, enabling effective decision-making in a fast-paced, growing team.
• Strong analytical skills with a bias for action, using data to drive decisions and improvements
• Proven experience working directly with enterprise customers to gather insights, understand technical requirements, and inform product direction.
• Experience working with external customers to gather insights and inform product direction
• Ability to write, defend, and execute a sound business case for new or ongoing product development
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to convey complex technical issues simply and convincingly to diverse audiences.

Nice to have

• Experience building advanced management systems for databases or related technologies
