Director, Partner Programs

MongoDB's Partner Program is how we formalize value for every partner type in our ecosystem — Technology/ISV partners, Services and Solutions partners (including our Systems Integrators), Cloud partners (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud), Built with MongoDB partners, and Certified by MongoDB DBaaS partners. We're looking for a Director, Partner Programs to own this program end to end: the tiering and benefits structure, the incentive framework, certification (including our SI Associate and SI Architect tracks), and the operational rigor that keeps thousands of partners engaged and productive.

You'll report to the VP of Partner Strategic Operations and oversee all MongoDB Partner Programs globally, managing a team of Partner Program Managers. You'll be the connective tissue between the field-facing work being done in Sales Plays & Offerings, the platform work being built by our Business Product Manager (PRM), and the automation work coming out of Digital Process & AI Operations — making sure the underlying program itself stays coherent, well-governed, and aligned to company strategy as all of that activity happens around it.

This role can be hybrid near any of our MongoDB hub offices in the United States or remote in the United States.

• Partner directly with the Sales Plays & Offerings lead to evaluate and structure incentives behind specific sales plays and joint offerings, translating field-level recommendations into funded, governed programs
• Track incentive ROI and make the call on which programs to scale, adjust, or sunset

Manage program operations and team

• Manage a team of Partner Program Managers, each responsible for one or more partner categories, setting priorities and holding the team accountable to program health metrics
