Principal Partner Programs Lead

We are building a first-of-its-kind ISV partner motion at MongoDB, and this role is a founding part of that effort. As Sr. Partner Manager for ISVs, you will own the identification, development, and scaling of partnerships with independent software vendors across two key categories: industry-specific ISVs building vertical applications in markets like financial services, healthcare, insurance, retail, and manufacturing, and horizontal AI-native ISVs developing platforms and tools that serve builders across industries.

This is a greenfield opportunity. You will help shape the program from the ground up, define how MongoDB goes to market with ISV partners, and build a repeatable playbook that scales. You will move from initial outreach and product-market fit validation through to field distribution and co-sell execution with MongoDB's sales organization. This role requires a rare combination of business development instinct, commercial acumen, and the ability to work cross-functionally in a fast-moving environment.

We are looking to speak to candidates who are based in London for our hybrid working model.
