Strategic Events 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.

The Strategic Events Manager, First-Party Events is a critical member of the Strategic Events team, focusing on internally produced, first-party strategic events. This role will work closely with the Global Strategic Events Senior Manager, the broader Strategic Events team, and other cross-functional teams to plan and execute a wide range of event marketing programs.

A significant focus of this role will be on the global MongoDB.local program, driving lead generation and adoption of MongoDB’s developer data platform. The ideal candidate is a proactive and detail-oriented event professional who thrives in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment.

Additionally, this person should be prepared to support the broader Strategic Events team in executing MongoDB’s global events program as needed.
