The database market is massive (the IDC estimates it to be $89B+ by 2024!) and MongoDB is at the head of its disruption. The MongoDB community is transforming industries and empowering developers to build amazing apps that people use every day.

Taking on the responsibility of leading this team means dedicating yourself to their development. A Sales Development leader at MongoDB hires outstanding talent, maps out the gaps in that rep’s skillset, holds them accountable to reaching their potential, and takes pride in turning that ADR into an AE.
• Revenue Development: As an SDR manager, you will be a key asset to our Enterprise Sales organization as we look to grow MongoDB across the world. Partnering with Directors and Vice Presidents across our sales organization, you will be a crucial part of uncovering new opportunities, determining how to unlock new territories, and driving revenue into our pipeline.

• Collaborate with Marketing and Sales Operations to establish and tune scalable processes for Incoming Lead Management and Marketing to Sales

Interview Advice

Interviewing is not an easy thing and can be alien to some people. We want you to succeed. When we interview, we’re trying to determine a couple of things:

1. Would you be successful if you were part of our team?
2. Will you love working here and be a positive influence on our team?
3. Will you grow during your time here?

We seek to provide feedback throughout our interview process, usually directly in the interview. We love working with people who are always trying to better themselves.

When you’re preparing to interview, you’ll often be sharing stories about your current and past roles. An excellent way to frame this is with the CARR model: Context, Action, Results, Reflection. This allows you to succinctly share the experiences you’ve gained.

We’re looking for people with a passion for technology. Make sure you invest some time in learning about MongoDB, the industry we operate in, what we offer and how we set ourselves apart.

To drive the personal growth and business impact of our employees, we’re committed to developing a supportive and enriching culture for everyone.
