About The Position

We are building a first-of-its-kind ISV partner motion at MongoDB, and this role is a founding part of that effort. As Sr. Partner Manager for ISVs, you will own the identification, development, and scaling of partnerships with independent software vendors across two key categories: industry-specific ISVs building vertical applications in markets like financial services, healthcare, insurance, retail, and manufacturing, and horizontal AI-native ISVs developing platforms and tools that serve builders across industries. This is a greenfield opportunity. You will help shape the program from the ground up, define how MongoDB goes to market with ISV partners, and build a repeatable playbook that scales. You will move from initial outreach and product-market fit validation through to field distribution and co-sell execution with MongoDB's sales organization. This role requires a rare combination of business development instinct, commercial acumen, and the ability to work cross-functionally in a fast-moving environment. The position is remote and open to candidates located in New York City, NY.

You are energized by greenfield opportunities. You do not wait for a playbook to exist before taking action, and you are comfortable operating with ambiguity
You can structure a partnership deal, evaluate partner ROI, and make a compelling internal case for which partners to prioritize and why

Manage ongoing partner success by tracking adoption, pipeline contribution, and co-sell performance, and refining GTM strategies based on results
