- Serve as a trusted advisor to hiring executives and the leadership team, shaping search strategy, candidate profiles, and market mapping.
- Build and manage a proactive pipeline of senior leadership talent through direct sourcing, market research, and a strong external network.
- Conduct in-depth candidate assessments, including competency-based interviews and reference checks, to ensure strong leadership and cultural alignment.
- Manage complex, multi-stakeholder search processes with discretion, precision, and executive presence.
- Partner with People teams on compensation strategy, offer construction, and negotiation for senior hires.
- Represent MongoDB's employer brand and leadership hiring standards in every candidate and stakeholder interaction.
- Continuously sharpen executive hiring processes, tools, and market intelligence to keep MongoDB competitive for top leadership talent.

- A track record of closing senior leadership searches (VP and above) in complex, fast-moving organizations.
- Deep experience partnering with and influencing senior executives and stakeholders.
- Strong market knowledge and an active network within the technology industry; experience in adjacent industries will also be considered.
- Excellent judgment, discretion, and the ability to navigate highly confidential searches.
- Sharp assessment and interviewing skills, with the ability to evaluate leadership capability, not just resume fit.
