Program Manager, Commercial Compliance
at MongoDB
United States
The MongoDB Compliance team manages the strategy, execution, and maintenance of our global security certifications and regulatory requirements. We ensure that our cloud database products meet the rigorous security standards required by our customers in the most highly regulated industries worldwide.
We act as the primary interface between external auditors and our internal Product, Engineering, and Legal teams. Our goal is to translate complex regulatory requirements into scalable operational processes, maintaining a compliant and audit-ready posture across our diverse portfolio.
The Commercial Compliance Program Manager role is an individual contributor role responsible for leading high-stakes audits and specialized compliance workstreams. This role owns the lifecycle of complex frameworks like IRAP, ENS High, PCI, SOC2 and ISO 22301, and manages the relationship with our Financial Services customers during audit deep-dives. You will lead internal audit cadences and perform gap analyses for new market expansions.
You are more than a task-tracker; you own the program's success. By mapping technical evidence to regulatory intent across global jurisdictions (Spain, Australia, US, etc.), you directly enable the sales organization to close enterprise-level deals and expand MongoDB’s global footprint.
Key Responsibilities:
- Lead Global Audits: Manage end-to-end execution of external certifications (PCI, SOC2, ENS High, IRAP, ISO) from scoping to final issuance
- Financial Services Lead: Act as the primary point of contact for customer audits, defending our control environment and responding to deep-dive security inquiries
- Operational Oversight: Drive internal audit cadences and the POA&M process, ensuring technical teams remediate findings within SLAs
- Compliance-by-Design: Partner with Engineering/Product to map new regulatory requirements to our central framework and guide product roadmaps
- Gap Analysis & Maturity: Perform NIST CSF maturity assessments and identify how single controls can satisfy multiple global jurisdictions
- Technical Documentation: Author and review customer-facing security collateral that accurately reflects our architectural guardrails
Requirements:
- 7+ years in GRC, InfoSec, or IT Audit within a high-growth SaaS/Cloud environment
- Proven track record leading technical audits for ISO 27001, SOC 2, or PCI
- Strong understanding of security principles within AWS, GCP, or Azure
- Exceptional ability to translate technical complexities into compliance assurance for external auditors and enterprise customers
- Advanced proficiency in Jira for managing high-volume remediation workflows and control data
- Preferred: Professional certifications such as CISA, CRISC, CISSP, or ISO Lead Implementer
