Staff Product Marketing Manager

Mongodb

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 MongoDB in regulated, mission-critical environments, working within the constraints of public sector reference and PR approval processe *  Partner with Field Marketing, Demand Generation, and Partner Marketing to plan and launch public-sector campaigns, events, and co-sell motions with cloud hyperscalers, resellers, and systems integrators * Run competitive and win/loss analysis specific to the public sector segment, feeding insights back into positioning, sales plays, and product roadmap conversations * Serve as the go-to product marketing voice for public sector launches, readiness reviews, and executive/customer-facing engagements. WHAT YOU’LL BRING * 5–8+ years of product marketing (or closely related GTM/solutions marketing) experience in B2B enterprise software or SaaS, with a track record of owning positioning, messaging, and launches end-to-end * Proven ability to translate complex technical products into clear, differentiated value propositions for both technical and executive audiences — direct experience with data infrastructure, databases, or cloud platforms is a strong plus, not a requirement * Comfort learning and communicating regulatory/compliance concepts well enough to brief sales and build customer-facing content — prior compliance or public-sector experience is a plus, not required * Experience building and running sales enablement programs (battlecards, playbooks, ROI tools) and partnering closely with sales and field marketing teams * Strong cross-functional operator: comfortable driving alignment across product, compliance, sales, partner, and communications teams without direct authority. * Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to flex between mission-oriented narrative and technical depth *  Self-starter who can operate with a fair amount of ambiguity and build structure in a newer, less standardized go-to-market motion * Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience; MBA or technical/quantitative background a plus * No security clearance or prior government employment required. U.S. work authorization required; ability to work from a MongoDB office or remotely within the U.S. STAND-OUT QUALIFICATIONS / NICE TO HAVES For Phase 1 (Federal): * Direct experience with FedRAMP, DoD Impact Levels (IL4/5/6), CMMC, or ITAR — either holding the knowledge yourself or having partnered closely with a compliance/SME team to market around it *  Familiarity with federal contract vehicles and procurement channels, such as GSA Schedules, NASA SEWP, CIO-SP3, or other GWACs * Experience working with, or marketing through, federal systems integrators and resellers (e.g., Booz Allen Hamilton, Leidos, SAIC) or federal-focused aggregators/resellers (e.g., Carahsoft-style channel partners) * Understanding of federal budget and fiscal-year buying cycles and how they shape campaign and launch timing For Phase 2 (SLED expansion): * Familiarity with StateRAMP as the state-level analog to FedRAMP, and how its bar differs from federal compliance requirements * Understanding of state and local procurement processes (state contract schedules, competitive bid cycles) and higher-education consortium purchasing agreements *  Experience adapting a national or federal narrative into a faster-moving, more numerous, typically smaller-deal-size SLED sales motion General: * Prior experience marketing to any public sector buyer (federal, state & local, or higher education) * Experience marketing database, data platform, analytics, or AI infrastructure products.
