Staff Product Manager

The observability market is shifting from surfacing data to delivering answers. MongoDB is looking for a Staff Product Manager to lead that shift for database users, owning the strategy that takes customers from raw telemetry to AI-powered diagnostics and autonomous remediation, so developers can focus on building great applications instead of managing infrastructure.

You will define how MongoDB turns raw telemetry into actionable intelligence, set the vision for AI-powered root cause analysis and proactive recommendations, and shape what best-in-class database observability looks like at global scale.

The ideal candidate has experience shipping products that deal with data at scale, can engage deeply with senior engineering on technical architecture, and knows how to balance long-term platform investment against near-term customer value.

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

What you'll do

Define the vision, strategy, and multi-year roadmap for MongoDB observability, balancing the needs of developers, ops teams, enterprise customers, and internal engineering teams

Help shape the next generation of AI-powered and agentic observability, including intelligent anomaly detection, automated root cause analysis, and proactive recommendations that help customers resolve issues before they escalate

Own product strategy for experiences that span database health, performance diagnostics, alerting, log analysis, and data visualization, creating a coherent observability journey rather than a collection of disconnected tools

Identify high-impact opportunities across the observability stack, from how customers monitor and understand their deployments to how MongoDB can reduce the operational burden of managing a database fleet at scale

Lead customer discovery with developers, DBAs, and enterprise teams; turn qualitative and quantitative insights into clear product decisions that reduce time spent managing the database and increase time spent building applications

Partner deeply with engineering and design to frame problems, define requirements, make tradeoffs, and deliver high-quality products from discovery through launch and iteration

Establish clear success metrics for observability, using product analytics, customer feedback, research, and market signals to evaluate progress and adjust priorities

Communicate product direction and decisions clearly to senior leaders and cross-functional stakeholders, including the rationale behind what we will and will not build

Raise the bar for product management by mentoring other PMs, improving product practices, and modeling strong judgment, customer empathy, and execution

What you'll bring

10+ years of product management experience; including experience leading complex technical products in the data management or analytics space

A track record of defining strategy and delivering products used by technical audiences, ideally across database, data infrastructure, or observability

Experience translating ambiguous customer and business problems into focused strategies, product narratives, roadmaps, and prioritized execution plans

Demonstrated ability to lead through influence across multiple engineering and product teams without relying on formal authority

Excellent customer instincts and the ability to move comfortably between user research, product details, business strategy, and executive communication

Experience launching products that require behavior change, ecosystem coordination, or adoption across both self-serve and enterprise customers

Comfort working with AI-enabled product experiences and evaluating where automation, guidance, and human control create the most value

Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to make complex technical concepts clear and compelling

A bias toward action, disciplined prioritization, and the judgment to make decisions with incomplete information

Nice to have
