Senior IRM Analyst

The Information Security Risk Team at MongoDB is the operational engine of the internal and third-party risk programs. Situated within the Assurance, Risk, and Compliance (ARC) organization, the team is responsible for the "Reduction of Uncertainty" across the enterprise. We view this team as the "Operational Commander" of the risk function. The team oversees the entire lifecycle of risk identification, assessment, and treatment, ensuring that MongoDB’s leadership has a clear, quantified view of the top risks facing the organization. We are not just a compliance function; we are a "Risk Intelligence" unit that empowers the business to "Think Big" while keeping our eyes wide open to the risks we accept.

As the Senior Information Risk Analyst, you will serve as the subject matter expert and primary executor of our risk function. Reporting directly to the Risk Director, you will be responsible for conducting and owning the lifecycle of internal security assessments (annual + ad-hoc), applying risk methodology, producing risk memos and working with asset/risk owners across the business that powers MongoDB’s growth. This is a pivotal moment for our Risk function as we scale operations to meet the demands of a $100B+ database market while navigating an increasingly rigorous regulatory landscape (DORA, FedRAMP, NIS2).

This role can be based out of our Dublin office or remotely in Ireland.
