[Hiring] Product Marketing Manager @Kong

Role Description

Kong is building the connectivity layer for the AI era — securing, governing, and monetizing every LLM, MCP, agent, and API request in production.

As the Product Marketing Manager for our AI portfolio, you'll be the commercial engine behind the fastest-moving part of our business. Working alongside a team of deeply technical product marketers who own positioning for AI traffic management, agent identity, and AI observability, you'll plan the launches, campaigns, and content that drive pipeline.

This is a high-leverage execution role. You'll own launches, content, and campaign execution across the entire AI portfolio, serving as the single interface between AI R&D and the demand generation, field marketing, and sales teams that bring our story to market.

What You'll Do

• Own launch execution across the AI portfolio.
• Drive campaign strategy and content.
• Serve as the commercial interface layer.
• Support field and partner enablement.
• Coordinate with event marketing.
• Measure and iterate.

Qualifications

• 2+ years of experience in product marketing, product management, or solutions engineering — ideally at an AI/ML platform company.
• A genuine, hands-on interest in AI infrastructure.
• A proven ability to translate complex technical concepts into crisp narratives.
• A track record of developing product launches, sales enablement materials, and competitive intelligence programs.
• Highly collaborative — you thrive working across Product, Marketing, Sales, and Partner teams.
• Comfortable owning a stage: keynote presentations, analyst briefings, customer roundtables, and demo-heavy sessions.
• Experience in open-source software, SaaS platforms, and enterprise go-to-market motions is strongly preferred.
• Familiarity with the AI connectivity landscape is a strong plus.
