Senior Product Manager

The Migrations team at MongoDB builds tools and experiences that help customers migrate from one MongoDB cluster to another MongoDB cluster, on‑prem or in Atlas. We own products like Atlas Live Migrate (ALM), standalone mongosync, and related database tools that power mission‑critical migrations.

We are looking for a Senior Product Manager to own the end‑to‑end MongoDB‑to‑MongoDB migration experience. This is a high‑judgment, high‑stakes role. Migrations are the moment of maximum risk and maximum trust for our largest customers. When a migration goes well, a customer commits to the platform. When it goes badly, they question the relationship. You will own that moment.

We care less about whether you've worked on databases before and more about whether you're the kind of PM who can ramp fast on a hard technical domain, form a clear opinion about what needs to happen, and defend that opinion to senior engineers, field partners, and enterprise CTOs, especially when they disagree with you. Database and migration concepts are teachable. Judgment, conviction, and crispness are not.

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

Responsibilities

Set a clear, opinionated vision and strategy for MongoDB‑to‑MongoDB migrations and translate it into concrete, prioritized bets each release

Make hard prioritisation calls, including saying no to things with real customer or leadership support, and own those decisions and their consequences

Define and own the end‑to‑end roadmap for migrations, from initial assessment through execution, verification, and cutover

Build deep technical understanding of our migration tools and related concepts (replication, failover, verification, performance characteristics) and use it to shape requirements and tradeoffs with engineering. You don't need to know this on day one. You do need to know it deeply by month two

Represent product direction with conviction to senior engineering leaders, field partners, and enterprise customers, especially when they disagree

Stay close to customers and field partners through regular conversations to deeply understand migration use cases, pain points, and failure patterns

Own existing migration products end‑to‑end: architecture, key workflows, edge cases, and operational runbooks

Lead proactive, cross‑functional execution with Engineering, Program Management, Design, Docs, Support, and field to ship reliable, high‑quality migration experiences

Define success metrics for migrations and tools, build analytics that surface issues early, and use data to inform clear, timely decisions under ambiguity

Design and run deliberate rollouts for new capabilities, with explicit milestones, validation plans, and communication to affected customers and field partners

Communicate decisions, tradeoffs, and next steps clearly and early to engineering, field partners, and leadership, adapting the message to each audience

Required qualifications

5+ years of product management experience on technically complex, infrastructure‑level products. Database or distributed systems experience is a plus but not required. We care about your ability to ramp fast on hard technical domains and make sound product decisions once you do

Demonstrated success owning enterprise‑grade, technical products end‑to‑end — not just shipping them, but delivering measurable customer and business outcomes you can quantify

Technical fluency: comfortable discussing architecture, failure modes, performance characteristics, and tradeoffs with senior engineers, and connecting technical decisions directly to customer outcomes. You don't need to know what a write concern is on day one. You do need to be the kind of PM who will understand it deeply within your first month and have an opinion about how it affects the customer experience by month two

Proven ability to ramp quickly on complex products and domains, then drive proactive ownership rather than reactive executi
