About this role
The role
MongoDB is hiring a Staff Product Marketing Manager to build and own our go-to-market narrative for the Public Sector vertical, with an initial focus on Federal Government and the broader public sector market. This is a foundational hire for MongoDB’s Industry Verticals product marketing function: you will define how MongoDB’s unified data platform, spanning cloud, on-premises, and hybrid database deployments with integrated, production-ready AI capabilities, shows up for government buyers.
You’ll turn a major compliance milestone into a durable competitive differentiator: developing the positioning, messaging, and sales-ready content that helps government agencies, systems integrators, and cloud/public-sector resellers understand why MongoDB is the right data platform for mission-critical, regulated workloads. You do not need prior government or public-sector work experience to succeed in this role — you need to be an excellent product marketer who can get fluent in a new domain quickly and partner closely with the compliance, product, and sales experts who already are.
Scope and phasing
This role is scoped in two phases. Phase 1 is the immediate mandate; Phase 2 is the natural expansion once the federal narrative is established. Phase 1 — Federal (primary focus at launch). Own the go-to-market narrative for U.S. federal civilian and defense-adjacent buyers. Federal is the harder, higher-compliance-bar, higher-stakes segment — it is also where MongoDB gives the most immediate right to win, so it’s the priority for the first 6–12 months. Phase 2 — State & Local, Education, and broader Public Sector expansion. Extend the positioning, content, and enablement playbook built in Phase 1 to State & Local Government and Higher Education (“SLED”), adapting messaging and compliance framing to that segment’s different procurement rhythm and compliance bar (see below).
What you’ll do
• Own positioning and messaging for MongoDB’s Public Sector go-to-market, leading the federal launch, then extending the narrative into State & Local and Higher Education as Phase 2
• Translate MongoDB’s data platform capabilities — document database, search, vector search, stream processing, and integrated AI — into mission-relevant outcomes and value propositions for government buyers and the systems integrators who serve them
• Partner with Compliance, Security, Industry Solutions and Product teams to accurately represent related certification requirements in external-facing content, staying current as MongoDB pursues additional authorizations (e.g., DoD Impact Levels, StateRAMP)
• Build the public sector sales enablement toolkit: battlecards, pitch decks, discovery guides, ROI/value models, and competitive intelligence — tailored first to federal buying processes and procurement vehicles, then adapted for SLED in Phase 2
• Develop content — solution briefs, customer decks, whitepapers, case studies, and web content — that makes the case for Mo
