MongoDB is looking for a Customer Marketing Lead dedicated to MongoDB’s events program to join our Global Corporate Marketing team. In this role, you will be responsible for translating customer stories into engaging slide decks and speaker notes for keynotes and breakout sessions at MongoDB and partner events. As the primary liaison between the Customer Marketing and Storytelling/Events Content team, you’ll manage requests to localize customer content in these presentations, manage customers’ speaker participation in event sessions, and participate in a committee that will determine which customer stories should be featured at these events.
The right candidate has a successful track record of working cross-functionally across internal teams and external comms teams and leaders, to analyze and synthesize content, and craft impactful presentations that are both technical and compelling. You will be responsible for identifying the right customer for the right event opportunity and then coordinating their participation (securing participation, arranging travel/arrangements, etc). You’ll lead the communications with customers to highlight and capture their narratives, manage the related deliverables (like speaker notes and draft slides), and offer your expertise in coordinating logistics and speaker coaching.
In addition to managing customers at MongoDB events, you’ll also be responsible for leading customer coordination around MongoDB’s participation at third-party events, such AWS re:Invent and other industry gatherings.

As part of this role, you will also act as a liaison to secure customers for on-site activities at various events.
Another integral responsibility will be ensuring that our logo slides for events are current, consistent and present a comprehensive view of our global, regional (AMER, APAC, EMEA), and AI customers. Lastly, you’ll team up with our Early Access Program and Product Marketing teams to identify customers who can help us make meaningful, impactful product launch announcements at keynote events. Put simply, your central role will be to bring our customers’ MongoDB journeys to life, fostering greater engagement at events, and exposing a broader audience to our customers’ remarkable MongoDB stories.
This role will report to the Senior Director of Customer Marketing & Executive Engagement, and can be based out of our San Francisco or Boston offices with hybrid and remote options available. Frequent travel will be required.
