Job description

MongoDB is seeking an executive public-sector leader to build the next phase of growth across Federal civilian and Defense. As General Manager, you’ll have significant autonomy to shape a more self-sufficient business by integrating Clarity’s federal engineering and modernization capabilities with MongoDB’s product and go-to-market teams, expanding our position in Defense, and establishing the partnerships, authorization strategy, talent, and operating discipline needed for sustained growth.

MongoDB acquired Clarity Business Solutions to accelerate the modernization of government applications. Clarity is a federal-focused software and systems engineering firm with expertise in data analytics, data processing, and data flow. Its team combines technical delivery capabilities with experience navigating federal missions, procurement, and security requirements. You will shape how Clarity’s people and capabilities work alongside MongoDB by aligning strategy, customer engagement, delivery, and operating practices while preserving the specialized expertise federal customers rely on.

MongoDB Atlas for Government’s achievement of FedRAMP Certified – Class D (formerly known as FedRAMP High) expands MongoDB’s ability to support high-impact government workloads, secure AI, and mission-critical modernization across cloud environments. This is an opportunity to build on customer trust and strong executive commitment, address significant unmet demand across government, and shape a business with the ambition and resources to become a meaningful growth engine for MongoDB.
