Official role information

<p>We are building a first-of-its-kind ISV partner motion at MongoDB, and this role is a founding part of that effort. 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.</p> <p>This is a greenfield opportunity.
