Vice President, Global Modernization Practice

MongoDB's mission is to empower innovators to create, transform, and disrupt industries by unleashing the power of software and data. We enable organizations of all sizes to easily build, scale, and run modern applications by helping them modernize legacy workloads, embrace innovation, and unleash AI. Our industry-leading developer data platform, MongoDB Atlas, is the only globally distributed, multi-cloud database and is available in more than 115 regions across AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure. Atlas allows customers to build and run applications anywhere-on premises, or across cloud providers. With offices worldwide and over 175,000 new developers signing up to use MongoDB every month, it's no wonder that leading organizations, like Samsung and Toyota, trust MongoDB to build next-generation, AI-powered applications.

We're looking for a high-impact leader to build and drive our Global Modernization Factory-an elite team responsible for accelerating enterprise transformation with Services as a Software.

This is a build-and-scale role for a proven leader in application modernization consulting. You will own the strategy, execution, and impact of a high-performing consulting practice, delivering measurable business outcomes for customers through field-developed, AI-powered modernization tooling. Your mission: build the best, engineering-first modernization practice in the industry, delivering application and platform transformation at scale.

This is not a status quo role. We need a builder, a problem solver, and a business leader-someone who thrives at the intersection of technical depth, customer strategy, and execution. If you're comfortable in ambiguity, energized by the challenge of scaling a world-class team, and ready to lead from the front, let's talk.

This role can be based out of our offices in NYC, Austin, Boston or remotely in Eastern & Central time zones of the United States.
