Job description

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.

MongoDB Engagement Managers are quota‑carrying Professional Services Sales roles. Engagement managers utilize customer‑facing sales, technical, consulting, and commercial experience to scope, negotiate and close Professional Services opportunities to accelerate and de‑risk the adoption of MongoDB by our customers.

As an Engagement Manager, you will be a key leader within the PS team and work cross‑functionally with the Sales, Professional Services, and Customer Success organizations to drive professional services sales.
