Atlas allows customers to build anywhere—on the edge, on premises, or across cloud providers.

MongoDB Technical Account Managers are at the forefront of technical problem solving with key customers. Working on some of the most complex, large-scale application ecosystems on the MongoDB platform by customers in the financial services industry (FSI), this role combines:
- Deep product knowledge and expertise across multiple domains including FSI customer specific technologies, regulations, and policies to effectively address customer needs
- Polished technical communications
- Strong account leadership, with the ability to engage effectively at all levels of the customer
- Ability to not only proactively engage, but anticipate and preempt needs a customer may have or issues they could experience
- A high degree of ownership and willingness to go above and beyond for our customers
At MongoDB, TAM’s are responsible for the cultivation of customer confidence and delivery of positive, account-wide technical outcomes. This role specializes in understanding the unique use-cases, goals, and stringent requirements of our FSI customers.
Through systematic engagement phases including deep-dice discovery and roadmap development, TAMs define shared objectives with customers while showcasing the capabilities of the MongoDB product portfolio. In this process, they effectively navigate complex environments where there may be shared or even ambiguous responsibilities between the customer and MongoDB.
To maximize impact, TAMs are able to shift gears between enabling, coaching, and marshaling resources and get the right things done at the right time. They also act as the eyes and ears of the product team while working with marquee customers - listening for new requirements and leveraging opportunities for future development.
Overall, TAMs work closely with many teams to ensure MongoDB is staying one step ahead of customer needs. This role will help grow our focused service offerings for MongoDB FSI customers.
This role can be based out of our New York office or remotely in the east coast region.
Cool things you’ll do
MongoDB is on a mission to unlock the inner genius of our customers by making data stunningly easy to work with. As a TAM for FSI customers, you will be a primary resource for technical leaders and key decision makers at some of our biggest accounts. You will foster strong relationships externally and internally and advise these customers on how they can build and scale solutions with MongoDB.
You will serve as an expert resource on MongoDB Instances at any scale. You will identify opportunities to educate our customers on relevant, sometimes crucial topics, both through your own deep-dives and by bringing in relevant MongoDB teammates as subject matter experts.

At MongoDB, we also put a strong focus on enabling peer success by documenting and sharing knowledge. As a TAM, you will spend time with a variety of internal teammates as well as external stakeholders, sharing insight around our growing professional services offerings and MongoDB product lines.
Working with FSI customers, you may be exposed to material non-public information through the course of your work. For this reason, and due to the nature of the highly regulated industry in which our customers operate, you may be subject to enhanced background checks and additional constraints around the trading of securities. The successful candidate will understand this and have willingness to participate in enhanced background checks and agreements with customers which may include, but are not limited to, customer review of any proposed trades on behalf of the TAM, before they are executed.
