Events & Engagement Manager, AI Startups & Ventures

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.

MongoDB is transforming the $138B+ data management software market by empowering developers to build the next generation of applications. As the leading modern data platform—and the first database company to IPO in over 20 years—we're at the forefront of innovation. Through MongoDB Ventures, we invest in the most exciting companies solving real problems for developers and data practitioners, from GenAI infrastructure to tools that accelerate app development and deployment.

We’re looking for a highly organized, creative, and detail-oriented Events & Engagement Manager to lead MongoDB’s startup event strategy and strengthen our presence across the startup and VC ecosystem. 

This is a highly execution-focused role, perfect for someone who thrives on building impactful, experimental event experiences, managing end-to-end logistics, and engaging directly with founders and investors. You’ll own the planning and execution of 20+ startup-focused events annually—including hackathons, demo nights, founder dinners, and networking activations at major conferences. Additionally, you will help support MongoDB Ventures portfolio companies, ensuring they get access to MongoDB’s network, technical resources, and go-to-market opportunities.

This is a high-visibility role within MongoDB’s startup ecosystem efforts, working closely with Marketing, Sales, and Partnerships to drive engagement and adoption among early-stage startups.

Position Expectations:

• Lead the planning and execution of 20+ high-impact, uniquely curated startup events each year—from hackathons and demo nights to intimate founder gatherings
• Own end-to-end event execution, including logistics, budgeting, vendor management, and on-site coordination, to deliver seamless and memorable experiences
• Champion MongoDB Ventures portfolio companies by ensuring priority access to MongoDB events, resources, and support
• Evolve and elevate the MongoDB for Startups program by identifying new ways to add value for founders and driving awareness across the startup ecosystem
• Cultivate strong relationships across the startup and VC ecosystem to drive deeper connections and stay ahead of emerging trends
• Collaborate cross-functionally to amplify MongoDB’s startup presence through integrated marketing, social media, and community engagement

The right candidate for this role will be:

• 3-6 years of experience in event planning, startup marketing, ecosystem development, or VC platform roles
• Experience planning and executing in-person events, including managing logistics, vendors, and on-site operations
• Deep understanding of the startup and venture ecosystem—you know what resonates with founders and investors
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
• Highly organized, detail-oriented, and execution-focused—able to manage multiple projects at once
• Must be based in San Francisco, CA, with the ability to modify a traditional workweek to attend events in evenings and weekends, as well as travel occasionally
