Description:

The Assurance, Risk, and Compliance (“ARC”) Initiatives team at MongoDB owns the strategy, governance, and delivery of our most critical cross-functional risk and compliance initiatives. We design and execute programs that support compliance audits, risk assessments, employee awareness and enablement, and the implementation of common control frameworks, along with consistent operating cadences that align key stakeholders, accelerate decision making, and drive the execution of initiatives that reinforce MongoDB’s assurance, risk management, and compliance objectives. We define and track key metrics and deliver clear and timely, executive reporting to provide transparency, measure progress, and ensure lasting operational resilience and governance.

You will drive end-to-end ownership of policy lifecycle management, from drafting and review through implementation and ongoing maintenance, while coordinating inputs across teams to ensure accuracy, consistency, and adoption. Additionally, you will lead documentation standardization efforts, facilitate stakeholder reviews, and perform gap analyses to continuously strengthen and mature our ARC policy framework.

Responsibilities:

• Lead the end-to-end execution of company-wide compliance programs, including the annual security policy and procedure review cycle

• Establish standards, templates, and governance processes to ensure consistency and clarity across all compliance documentation
• Maintain a centralized, audit-ready repository for policies, procedures, and supporting artifacts
• Act as the primary point of contact for cross-functional teams (HR, Legal, Engineering, Product)
• Drive alignment, gather inputs, and ensure timely completion of policy updates and compliance deliverables
• Ensure policies and procedures align with regulatory, security, and internal control requirements
• Support internal and external audits by maintaining complete, accurate, and accessible documentation
• Translate audit findings and regulatory changes into actionable policy program updates

• Develop and maintain dashboards to report on program health, completion rates, and obstacles. Present status updates and metrics to leadership
• Evaluate existing program workflows and implement improvements to increase efficiency, reduce manual effort, and improve the stakeholder experience

Requirements:

• 5-8 years of program management experience, ideally within an Information Security or high-growth technology environment
• Experience creating and managing policy and procedure programs or governance frameworks
• Deep understanding of security and compliance frameworks (e.g., SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, HIPAA, NIST CSF)
• Strong proficiency in managing full-lifecycle projects, including scoping, planning, risk mitigation, and change control
• Advanced experience with Jira and Confluence, including the ability to build custom dashboards and manage complex documentation repositories
• Maintain and support a GRC/policy management platform to ensure consistent policy administration and system usability
• Excellent interpersonal skills with the ability to hold cross-functional stakeholders accountable to deadlines in a professional and effective manner
• Exceptional attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple overlapping priorities without losing sight of milestones
• A proactive, self-directed approach to work. You enjoy taking ownership of a program and building the structure necessary for its success

Responsibilities & Expectations

• You are expected to be the owner of your assigned programs. While you will work closely with technical SMEs, you are responsible for the logistical success of the workstream. Your success is measured by the timely completion of program goals, the clarity of your reporting, and your ability to anticipate and resolve project bottlenecks

• You will become the go-to resource for designing, scaling, and executing policy and compliance programs within a cloud-first organization. This role is responsible for independently and collaboratively developing and managing policies and procedures, with a strong understanding of compliance frameworks and the ability to interpret and operationalize control requirements

Leadership

• Leadership in this role is demonstrated through influence and mentorship. While you may not have direct reports, you will guide cross-functional teams in developing and standardizing policies/supporting documentation, as well as provide mentorship on policy governance, standardized documentation practices, and compliance alignment
