Managing Director, CXO Advisory

at  MongoDB

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 anywhere—on the edge, on premises, or across cloud providers. With offices worldwide and over 175,000 developers joining 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 for the thought leader and technical expert in the particular vertical (e.g., Financial Services, Telecommunications) to join the CXO Advisory team. This part of the industry solutions organization is a fast-growing, globally-dispersed team working in an exciting space with nearly limitless opportunities of growth! Our team’s members are the experienced practitioners and experts and work directly with the C-Suite of our clients around the application modernization and related strategies and at the same time, be able to work with customer developers and talk their language.
The Application Modernization Advisory team is the MongoDB expert community delivering thought leadership and practical directions for the legacy modernization and innovation of application stacks. This is NOT limited to database interactions but a holistic end to end view based on the experiences of the MongoDB team, including the full application stack. Generative AI is playing a key part in that - not only as a tool for modernization of legacy systems but turning a development organization towards the next challenges. The individual equally engages with clients and continues to evolve the approaches and concepts at the same time. The focus is on support for a well defined group of global enterprise clients that are closely aligned to the MongoDB Strategy. The team is very hands-on and the responsibilities range from supporting executive sales conversations, developing sales materials and training sales representatives and the wider sales community, advising customers on modernization strategies to providing senior leadership for individual modernization pilots and programs. At times, to ensure the success of customer projects, it will be necessary to dive into code to help provide technical direction. Superb communication skills including presentation skills are a paramount prerequisite. Past experience in software development and management of software is also required.
You’ll work closely with a broad variety of functions inside the whole company, including sales,, professional services, product, and marketing. You will play a key role in winning deals and driving the business forward and will be a trusted advisor to a wide range of clients. The location for this role is quite flexible but needs to be in the specified region.
This role can be based remotely in Europe where MongoDB has an established entity.
