The role is currently an individual contributor position that will work closely with the MongoDB for Startups, MongoDB Ventures, Revenue Marketing, Partner Marketing, and Customer Advocacy teams. 

Position Expectations

• Build and run our VC partnership and marketing motion: Develop relationships with high-value VCs across tiers, and build the playbook for engaging their portfolios, including programs, executive engagement, and founder-focused programming.

• Build and run VC-focused events: Plan and deliver events for VC partners and their portfolio founders, such as founder dinners, portfolio workshops, and partner summits, in our hub cities and alongside flagship ecosystem moments. Work with the events and regional teams on execution, and tie each event to referral and pipeline outcomes
• Align execution across teams: Work with Program Operations, Startup & Venture Marketing (acquisition and content), and regional teams so strategy translates into execution

The right candidate for this role will be:

• 8+ years in partner-facing marketing or program building across technology or cloud partners, startups, VCs, or accelerators
• An existing network among VCs and/or top technology partners that you can put to work from day one
• A record of building pipeline or funnel motions with measurable results
• Experience building programs from scratch with a small team

• Experience driving initiatives from strategy to measurable pipeline outcomes across stakeholders who don't report to you
