The Strategic Events Specialist is a key member of the Global Strategic Events team, responsible for supporting the planning and execution of MongoDB's strategic events with a primary focus on programs in the AMER region, while partnering to support global priority programs as needed. This role works closely with program leads and teams across MongoDB to deliver consistent, high-quality execution across assigned work streams. The ideal candidate is highly organized, detail-oriented, and reliable — someone who takes pride in tight execution and is building toward broader program ownership over time.

Who You Are

You care about the customer experience, not just the task list. You understand that the details you're responsible for are what customers actually feel. You take that seriously, follow through on what you commit to, and are relentless about delivering on time and to a high standard.

You're honest about what's working and what isn't. When something is at risk, you flag it early with context rather than hoping it resolves itself. You work within processes, recognize when a process needs to change, and say so directly. You apply good judgment within established guidelines and escalate cleanly when something is outside your lane.

You take ownership of your work. You don't wait to be told what needs attention. You demand a lot from yourself, balance getting things done independently with knowing when to pull others in.
