Program Manager, Commercial Compliance

MongoDB•New York, NY

About The Position

The Compliance team at MongoDB manages the strategy, execution, and maintenance of our global security certifications and regulatory requirements. We ensure that our cloud database products meet the rigorous security standards required by our customers in the most highly regulated industries worldwide. We act as the primary interface between external auditors and our internal Product, Engineering, and Legal teams. Our goal is to translate complex regulatory requirements into scalable operational processes, maintaining a compliant and audit-ready posture across our diverse portfolio. The Program Manager / Senior Analyst is a mid-to-senior level individual contributor role responsible for leading high-stakes audits and specialized compliance workstreams. Unlike the Analyst level, this role takes full ownership of complex international frameworks—such as IRAP and ENS High—and manages the relationship with our Financial Services customers during audit deep-dives. You will lead internal audit cadences and perform gap analyses for new market expansions.
