Manager, Talent Management

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 role of Manager, Talent Management has a critical role to play in this journey. The People Team is currently focused on building an organization that can continue to scale at the pace of MongoDB, as well as integrating our Leadership Commitment framework into our talent ecosystem. The Leadership Commitment defines expectations for every person at MongoDB, including our people leaders, and these expectations collectively define our culture. The Manager of Talent Management will work with the Sr Director of Talent Management to build and operate a global talent management system that not only helps our organization continue to scale but also embeds the Leadership Commitment into how we assess, develop, and plan for the future, focusing first on senior leaders.

This role is a part of the Culture, Talent and Development Team, a Center of Excellence on the People Team, reporting to our Sr. Director of Talent Management. The Culture, Talent and Development team is responsible for sustaining and growing our culture and employees through leadership development and learning, talent management processes, organization development, employee listening, engagement, and inclusion.
