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.
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. You will move from initial outreach and product-market fit validation
through to field distribution and co-sell execution with MongoDB's sales organization. This role requires a rare combination of
business development instinct, commercial acumen, and the ability to work cross-functionally in a fast-moving environment.
We are looking to speak to candidates who are based in London for our hybrid working model.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
ISV Partnership Development
- Identify, recruit, and activate high-potential ISV partners across both vertical (industry-specific) and horizontal (AI-native)
categories, prioritizing partners with strong product-market fit and distribution potential
- Source and structure partnership agreements, define joint value propositions, and establish the commercial and technical
foundations for long-term partnership success.
- Validate initial product-market fit with new ISV partners through early integration work, customer proof points, and joint
pipeline generation
Partner Scaling and Field Distribution
- Develop and execute partner GTM plans that activate MongoDB's sales field around ISV partner solutions, including co-sell
plays, joint account targeting, and field enablement materials
- Work with ISV partners to drive adoption and distribution of validated integrations through field sales channels, partner-led
motions, and marketplace presence
- Manage ongoing partner success by tracking adoption, pipeline contribution, and co-sell performance, and refining GTM
strategies based on results
Program Building
- Contribute to the design and evolution of MongoDB's ISV partner program, including tiering frameworks, onboarding processes,
and success metrics. This is a new motion for the company and you will have meaningful influence over how it takes shape
- Build reusable assets such as partner playbooks, joint solution briefs, and field guides that accelerate the productivity of
both MongoDB sellers and ISV partners
Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Partner closely with MongoDB's Sales, Pre-Sales, Product, Marketing, and Legal teams to align on partner strategy, drive joint
initiatives, and deliver measurable outcomes

planning

- Maintain a deep understanding of the vertical SaaS and AI application landscape, including how ISVs build, distribute, and
scale in the markets MongoDB serves
- Represent MongoDB at relevant industry events, conferences, and partner communities to build visibility and accelerate
partnership development

and you are comfortable operating with ambiguity

partners to prioritize and why

conversations

relationships with key Sales stakeholders to begin field distribution Deliver first quick wins
