SEO Manager

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.

As a member of MongoDB’s Digital Acquisition team, the SEO Manager will create keyword-optimized content targeting developers using search engines or LLMs to conduct research and make purchase decisions. You will be responsible for leading projects through the complete lifecycle, including keyword research and opportunity analysis, managing contractors for writing support or identifying in-house SMEs, providing SEO recommendations and reviews, tracking performance after publication, and working with web teams to promote awareness and adoption of MongoDB’s products and services. 

We’re seeking an analytical, curious, and data-driven individual. This role requires robust project management skills, steering many projects simultaneously and strategically prioritizing in the face of roadblocks. You should be extremely comfortable driving cross-functional collaboration and building relationships, as well as running independent analyses and communicating impact to non-marketers. 

This role can be based remotely in the United States.
