About this role

MongoDB’s Security Product Management team is seeking a Staff Product Manager to own security, compliance, and public sector product strategy within Atlas for Government (A4G). In this role, you will be a key member of the security product management team, helping make data security a market differentiator that enables MongoDB to win in enterprise and regulated industries.

You will lead product strategy and execution for capabilities and programs that support federal compliance requirements and broader regulated-industry needs. You will work across Engineering, Compliance, Legal, Security, and Go-to-Market teams to translate complex regulatory and customer requirements into clear product investments, roadmaps, and outcomes.

This role is suited for a candidate who can orchestrate multiple interlinked product areas, own cross-team product and architectural trade-offs, and align senior stakeholders around multi-year bets. You will be expected to identify opportunities and dependencies that cut across team boundaries, bring clarity to ambiguous problem spaces, and establish reusable ways of working that help MongoDB deliver secure, compliant platform capabilities for public sector and other regulated markets.

You will partner closely with senior engineering and business leaders to evaluate trade-offs, sequence investments, and bring clarity to decisions that balance customer impact, execution risk, and long-term business value.

This role can be based out of of our offices or remotely in the United States.
