This role is designed for a high-level communications strategist with at least 8 years of experience, specifically within the B2B tech or SaaS sectors. The ideal candidate has a sophisticated understanding of data infrastructure and AI, possessing the gravitas to act as a direct counselor to C-suite executives (CEO/CPO). You should be a "player-coach" who can pivot from high-level narrative strategy to hands-on drafting of keynote scripts and op-eds. The position offers a broad salary range up to $226k, plus equity and robust benefits like 20 weeks of gender-neutral parental leave and fertility assistance. While the role requires an on-site presence in New York City or Palo Alto, it places you at the center of the AI revolution, shaping the public voice of a cornerstone company in the modern data stack. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have a proven track record of placing executives at top-tier events and in global media outlets. * Can translate complex technical concepts (like vector databases or cloud architecture) into compelling human stories. * Thrive in high-growth environments where you must manage multiple executive voices simultaneously. * Are an exceptional writer who can mimic a leader’s specific tone and "voice" with precision.
MongoDB is looking for a Director, CEO Communications to support the CEO across key communications moments for the company. This is a highly strategic, hands-on individual contributor role responsible for shaping and executing a clear, consistent narrative across customers, investors, and employees.
The person in this role will help connect the dots across quarterly earnings, company All Hands, flagship customer events such as .local, and other key leadership moments. They will work closely with the CEO, CMO, the CEO’s Chief of Staff, Investor Relations, and cross-functional partners to ensure our messaging is aligned, credible, and grounded in the business.
This is not a traditional communications manager role. We are looking for someone who can move quickly from strategy to draft to execution, operate with sound judgment in high-visibility moments, and serve as a trusted partner to the CEO. The right candidate is a strong writer, practical operator, and visual storyteller who is comfortable working across functions and audiences with speed, precision, and low ego. This person must be able to distill complex product roadmaps and financial data into a conversational narrative without losing technical accuracy.
The ideal candidate brings experience from high-growth, venture-backed, or founder-led environments and understands how to pair strong executive communications with external narrative-building.
