About the Role
MongoDB's Query Team is seeking a Senior Staff Product Manager to provide division-wide product leadership for the fast, modular distributed query engine and flexible query system. As the most senior product management contributor, you will shape the multi-year strategy, product architecture, and market trajectory for the entire Query business unit. You will be the primary product authority on complex trade-offs, anticipating systemic risks and cutting through structural friction. This role requires collaboration with distinguished engineers and advising executive leadership on options that balance long-term monetization, strategy, and business outcomes. The role can be in-office, flexible (hybrid), or remote anywhere in Canada.
Responsibilities
- Spearhead strategic unity across multiple product areas over a multi-year horizon to drive a coherent product experience.
- Originate and de-risk the division's most consequential strategic bets, owning rigorous business cases and advising leadership on multi-year economic outcomes.
- Engage with strategically significant customers at the senior level (e.g., advisory boards and executive briefings) to surface cross-portfolio opportunities and inform the roadmap.
- Elevate the global standard of product management by mentoring Staff and Senior PMs and pioneering new data-driven playbooks.
- Partner with Directors and VPs to shape investment allocation and sequencing across the query, developer experiences, and core database portfolio.
- Act as a primary external face for the product line, representing MongoDB to the industry, developers, standards bodies, and at major conferences.
Qualifications
- 10+ years of professional experience, including significant leadership in product management for platform, infrastructure, or database domains.
- Exceptional ability to communicate complex technical issues simply and convincingly to a wide range of audiences, including executive leadership.
- Proven success in delivering complex cross-functional projects and the ability to write, defend, and execute on multi-year business cases.
- B.Sc. in a technical discipline, with Computer Science preferred, or equivalent relevant experience.
- Deep technical fluency in database query engines, query languages (SQL, MQL, etc.), developer experiences, distributed systems, and potentially AI platform tooling or LLM orchestration.
Nice to Have
- MBA, M.Sc., or Ph.D. in relevant technical or business domains.
- Experience with MongoDB or other non-relational database technologies.
- Demonstrated success leading products targeting developer personas in fast-paced, growing environments.
- Familiarity with open-source and cloud-native technologies.
