The Role

Responsibilities

• Set and champion a multi-year product strategy across interrelated identity areas, aligning dependencies and investments to MongoDB’s broader objectives
• Identify cross-cutting customer and market opportunities, build business cases for investment, and bring a clear point of view to senior stakeholders
• Lead workload identity federation and programmatic access initiatives across cloud and enterprise identity environments
• Define secure authorization approaches for AI agents and MCP clients, including delegation, identity lifecycle, policy, and administrative controls
• Drive developer-first access management, ensuring security controls enhance rather than obstruct developer velocity
• Partner with engineering, design, GTM, and cross-functional leadership to validate enterprise requirements, prioritize initiatives, and measure feature adoption
• Stay ahead of evolving cloud security paradigms, emerging standards (e.g., SPIFFE/SPIRE, O4AA), and AI access patterns to guide executive decision-making
• Represent MongoDB’s security and identity vision at industry events, customer advisory boards, and executive briefings
• Demonstrate creativity, an innovative spirit, and a bias towards action

Requirements

• 8+ years (or equivalent experience) in Product Management, Security Architecture, or Technical Leadership focused on IAM, Cloud Security, or Enterprise Infrastructure
• Experience influencing senior stakeholders and leading through ambiguity without direct authority, including establishing decision frameworks or operating mechanisms that improve execution
• Deep domain knowledge in authentication, authorization, federation protocols (OAuth 2.0, OIDC, SAML, SCIM), and policy-based access management (RBAC/ABAC)
• Hands-on familiarity with cloud identity models across AWS, Azure, and GCP, as well as secret-reduction strategies (e.g., IAM roles, short-lived tokens, vaultless access)
• Conceptual and practical understanding of AI agent workflows, tool-calling interfaces (MCP), and non-human identity security challenges
• Track record of building intuitive developer or administrative experiences for complex backend/infrastructure technologies
• Strong executive presence, public speaking ability, and experience engaging directly with CISO/CIO stakeholders
• Ability to serve as a trusted subject-matter expert, mentor other PMs, and raise the quality of product thinking across teams
• B.Sc. in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience

Nice to Have

• Experience with zero-trust architectures, SPIFFE/SPIRE, or machine-to-machine service meshes
• Understanding of database security models (TLS/x509, SASL, field-level encryption, audit logging)
• Familiarity with governance models for autonomous AI workloads and multi-tenant authorization
• Active participation in security standard bodies, industry panels, or open-source identity communities
• Advanced degree (M.Sc., MBA, or Ph.D.) in a technical or business discipline

Success Measures

• 2 Months: Build a comprehensive understanding of MongoDB Atlas and core database identity architectures, mapping existing technical debt alongside emerging workload and agentic identity requirements
• 4 Months: Establish trusted relationships across Engineering, UX, and GTM teams; deliver an audited, prioritized stakeholder matrix and product hypothesis framework for machine identity capabilities
• 6 Months: Own and execute the identity roadmap while driving measurable enterprise customer adoption
