Sr. Manager, Leadership Development

MongoDB’s mission is to empower innovators to create, transform, and disrupt industries by unleashing the power of software and data. We enable organizations of all sizes to easily build, scale, and run modern applications by helping them modernize legacy workloads, embrace innovation, and unleash AI. Our industry-leading developer data platform, MongoDB Atlas, is the only globally distributed, multi-cloud database and is available in more than 115 regions across AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure. Atlas allows customers to build and run applications anywhere—on premises, or across cloud providers. With offices worldwide and over 175,000 new developers signing up to use MongoDB every month, it’s no wonder that leading organizations, like Samsung and Toyota, trust MongoDB to build next-generation, AI-powered applications.

The Senior Manager, Leadership Development has a critical role to play in this journey. In the last two years, the People Team has introduced a new framework called the Leadership Commitment that defines expectations for every person at MongoDB, including our people leaders, and these expectations collectively define our culture. We have embedded this framework into our core manager development, and are now focused on introducing a new program for our senior leadership team, as well as continuing to scale our emerging leadership development programs. The Sr. Manager, Leadership Development will partner with our Director of Leadership Development to lead the creation of innovative, results-driven leadership programs for our emerging and senior leaders.

The Culture, Talent and Development team is responsible for sustaining and growing our high performing culture and employees through leadership development and learning, talent processes and decisions, organization development, engagement, and inclusion.
