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.
