Review, approve, or reject content submitted by users, ensuring it aligns with MongoDB’s voice, tone, and has all required reporting fields (campaigns, regions, etc.) correctly configured
• Targeted Content Strategy: Manage and publish targeted content streams, such as the "Thought Leadership" list, to ensure key messages reach specific internal audiences like executives
