Manager, Executive Communications

MongoDB•Denver, CO

About The Position

MongoDB is seeking a strategic and versatile communications professional to support executive communications across the company and serve as a strategic partner for internal and external storytelling. Reporting to the Director, Executive Communications, this role works closely with Corporate Communications, Product Communications, Analyst Relations, Employee Communications, Social and Influencer, Marketing teams, executives, and their offices. As the company-wide Executive Communications function is newly formed, the role involves both building the program and delivering its work. The position is based in the U.S., with hybrid or remote options available, and occasional travel is required. The role supports a portfolio of senior executives by developing their points of view, messaging pillars, and external platforms; producing communications in executives’ voices; creating repeatable communications systems; and identifying opportunities to increase executive influence. It also involves applying AI tools to communications workflows, collaborating on executive discoverability in AI-driven environments, and measuring whether executive ideas reach relevant audiences and decision-making forums.

Requirements

At least 6 years of experience in communications, including meaningful experience writing for and advising senior executives at a high-growth technology, enterprise software, SaaS, or cloud company.
Exceptional ghostwriting ability, including the ability to quickly adopt and consistently maintain an executive’s voice and translate complex technical and business concepts into memorable language.
Experience building executive thought leadership platforms, including speaking, social media, and bylines, with a track record of placements and notable opportunities.
Sound judgment and discretion with confidential and sensitive material, and the credibility to challenge a senior executive when a message is not effective.
A systems mindset, with experience building repeatable playbooks, briefs, and intake processes.
Fluency with AI tools and curiosity about using them to scale a small team’s output, while recognizing where human judgment is essential.
A data-informed approach to measuring communications impact and comfort being measured on influence rather than reach.
Strong cross-functional collaboration skills across communications, marketing, events, and executive offices.
Comfort operating amid ambiguity, shifting priorities, and a function that is still being built.

Responsibilities

Serve as the day-to-day communications partner to a portfolio of senior executives and their teams, developing and maintaining their points of view, messaging pillars, and external platforms.
Write in multiple executive voices across internal and external events, keynotes, talk tracks, social media, bylines, internal memos, customer and partner correspondence, and briefing materials.
Own communications playbooks for recurring executive moments, including organizational changes, all-hands meetings, launches, earnings, executive transitions, and crises.
Partner with executive offices, including chiefs of staff and executive assistants, to turn business context into narrative and establish workable intake, preparation, and review rhythms.
Build AI into communications work and use or help design tools for research, voice capture, drafting, and briefing preparation.
Partner with the AEO/GEO team to make executive ideas discoverable and credible for audiences using LLMs and agents.
Identify and prepare executives for appropriate speaking opportunities and stages, working with Corporate Communications, Product Communications, Analyst Relations, Social, and events and keynote teams.
Monitor industry news, competitive activity, and peer conversations, and translate findings into proactive opportunities.
Measure and report on influence, including whether ideas travel, executives reach important audiences, and narratives appear in decision-making forums.
