- Contribute to business growth initiatives, providing feedback to product and marketing teams to influence product development and go-to-market strategies.

- Represent Kong with professionalism, acting as a brand ambassador at industry events, conferences, and customer meetings.

What You’ll Bring:

- 7+ years of experience in enterprise sales (>5k employees), with a proven track record of closing complex deals in a SaaS, cloud, or enterprise software environment.

- Demonstrated success in selling to large enterprises, particularly to senior-level executives and across multiple departments.

- Strong consultative selling skills, with the ability to understand customer needs and present compelling solutions that drive business outcomes.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
