From the original posting

The MongoDB Query Team is seeking a Senior Staff Product Manager to provide division-wide, product leadership for our 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 the most complex trade-offs, anticipating systemic risks and cutting through structural friction that blocks multiple teams and initiatives. This role requires collaboration with distinguished engineers to rigorously debate strategy and pressure-test assumptions and advise executive leadership on options that balance long-term monetization, strategy, and business outcomes. And, where relevant, owns the pricing and monetization strategy for the product line.

This role can be in-office, flexible (hybrid), or remote anywhere in Canada.

Responsibilities

  • Product Vision and Roadmap: Spearhead strategic unity across multiple product areas over a multi-year horizon to drive a coherent product experience
  • Business Leadership: Originate and de-risk the division’s most consequential strategic bets, owning rigorous business cases and advising leadership on multi-year economic outcomes
  • Customer Advocacy: 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
  • PM Excellence: Elevate the global standard of product management by mentoring Staff and Senior PMs and pioneering new data-driven playbooks across the organization. Create frameworks and standards for customer and market research that others use for conducting high-quality customer and market research
  • Cross-Functional Alignment and Execution: Partner with Directors and VPs to shape investment allocation and sequencing across the query, developer experiences, and core database portfolio
  • Market and Engagement: Act as a primary external face for the product line, representing MongoDB to the industry, developers, standards bodies and at major conferences

Requirements

  • Experience: 10+ years of professional experience, including significant leadership in product management for platform, infrastructure, or database domains
  • Communication: Exceptional ability to communicate complex technical issues simply and convincingly to a wide range of audiences, including executive leadership
  • Strategic Execution: Proven success in delivering complex cross-functional projects and the ability to write, defend, and execute on multi-year business cases
  • Education: B.Sc. in a technical discipline, with Computer Science preferred, or equivalent relevant experience
  • Domain Expertise: 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
