Principal Business Development Manager, Frontier AI Labs

mongodb · San Francisco · Full-time

About this role

The frontier AI labs are among the most consequential relationships MongoDB has. The platforms they build, the architectures they recommend, and the tools their ecosystems produce are shaping where AI applications get built and what infrastructure they run on. This role exists to make sure MongoDB wins at that layer.

In this role, you will own the end-to-end relationship with MongoDB’s frontier model lab partners. That means building and maintaining executive relationships, working directly with Product to improve the developer experience through deeper integrations, and driving GTM execution on joint initiatives that create measurable outcomes for both sides.

This is a senior individual contributor role. You will need to operate at the executive level with external partners while simultaneously driving internal alignment across Product, Engineering, Sales, and Marketing. The person who succeeds here combines sharp strategic instincts with the credibility and tenacity to get things done across complex organizations.

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