Senior Staff Technical Program Manager, Global Security Office

Senior Staff Technical Program Manager, Global Security Office MongoDB’s mission is to empower innovators to create, transform, and disrupt industries by unleashing the power of software and data. MongoDB Atlas and MongoDB’s broader data platform help organizations build, scale, and run modern applications across cloud providers and environments. The Global Security Office protects MongoDB, our customers, and the trust that enables our business. The GSO works across security domains and business functions to improve our security posture, reduce risk, and help MongoDB deliver secure products and services at scale. As a Senior Staff Technical Program Manager, you will be a senior individual contributor and program leader for the GSO. The role will have two primary focus areas: • Directly lead and manage strategic programs which require senior level oversight due to high business impact and highly complex cross functional dependencies • Establish the standard by which technical program managers across the team will execute and report program status, including building a community of progress among program managers who are distributed across reporting lines within GSO. This role is designed for a technical program leader who can operate at the intersection of security, technology, risk, and business execution. The successful candidate will bring rigor without unnecessary process, create clarity from ambiguity, and build systems that help security teams and their partners execute predictably as MongoDB scales. Responsibilities • Serve as the senior program owner and trusted advisor for cross-functional security initiatives, partnering with executive sponsors and functional leads to establish accountability, sequencing, decision rights, and success measures. • Establish a consistent operating system for GSO programs and operational work, including program definitions, roadmaps, milestones, risk and issue management, decision logs, and outcome tracking. • Build integrated visibility into GSO priorities and progress, connecting team-level goals and workstreams to SMART goals and other company-level planning and review mechanisms. • Bring knowledge of the security domain to complement program management rigor such that risks can be addressed faster. • Drive convergence on project issues when teams disagree, resolve cross-functional deadlocks, and escalate only when decisions carry material, strategic, organizational, or enterprise risk. • Identify systemic opportunities to improve execution, including automation, AI-enabled workflows, reusable mechanisms, and common measures that reduce manual effort and improve decision quality. • Model MongoDB’s Leadership Commitment by communicating clearly, making trade-offs visible, maintaining high standards, and leading calmly and inclusively through change. Requirements • 10+ years driving large-scale, cross-functional technical programs across engineering, security, and product organizations, with a track record of delivering high-visibility outcomes in ambiguous environments. • Deep technical fluency and credibility in modern tech and security domains—such as cloud/infrastructure security, IAM, product security, resilience, or enterprise architecture—with the ability to evaluate system-level dependencies and trade-offs. • Proven ability to define multi-year roadmaps, operationalize quarterly goals, and balance pragmatic process with execution agility. • Demonstrated experience delivering large-scale, cross-functional initiatives, program strategies and roadmaps with significant technical complexity, ambiguity, and executive visibility. • Exceptional stakeholder management skills with a demonstrated ability to build consensus, hold teams accountable, and drive alignment across
