What you'd actually do

  1. Own and operationalize the Americas Sales Dev strategy. Define and execute the regional strategy aligned to MongoDB’s focus on quality pipeline generation as the primary success metric. Own headcount, coverage, and regional targets with Sales, Finance, and GTM Operations; and run a data-driven operating model with clear KPIs, disciplined forecasting, and weekly reporting
  2. Modernize Sales Development with AI-enabled workflows that amplify rep effectiveness, expand market coverage, and create capacity for deeper, more strategic customer engagement
  3. Lead, coach, and scale a high-performing leadership bench. Lead a strong bench of second-line leaders and frontline SD managers, set a rigorous operating rhythm (QBRs, weekly forecast and funnel reviews, performance and enablement cadences), and deliver exceptional coaching so your leaders run world-class 1:1s and team reviews using data-driven insights to raise the bar on performance
  4. Drive top-of-funnel excellence across the Americas. Raise the bar on qualification, discovery, and handoff quality so opportunities are well-scoped, strategically important workloads, and partner closely with Field RVPs/RDs on account coverage, segmentation, and inbound vs. outbound motions to ensure Sales Dev is focused on the highest-value parts of the market
  5. Build a true talent factory for MongoDB Sales. Proactively recruit top-tier Sales Development leaders, partner with Sales Enablement to leverage programs such as Sales Bootcamp, MEDDICC, Command of the Message, and BDR to CRO, and hold a clear point of view on promotion criteria, internal mobility, and readiness so your leaders build robust backfill and successor pipelines that make the org a career accelerator
