About the role: We are seeking a dedicated GTM Strategy & Operations Manager with a proven track record in top-of-funnel recurring revenue cycle, ideally with experience in open source or similar enterprise software environments. This role will play a critical part in ensuring healthy demand generation, efficient new logo acquisition, and strong attraction-to-conversion performance by providing both strategic and operational support to the SDR and Marketing teams.

Who you are... - Experience with SFDC (Sales Cloud, CPQ), Clay, Clari, Outreach, Zoominfo and similar tools - Demonstrable competence with Google G-Suite tools - Excellent quantitative and analytical skills, a data-driven mindset - Strong customer service attitude, ability to work independently and in a fast-paced environment - Excellent written and communication skills. - 3-5 year relevant business experience - A team player who works well in a collaborative environment. - BA/BS in a quantitative field, MBA or related graduate degree a plus - If you don’t meet all of the requirements listed here, we still encourage you to apply because skills can be used in lots of different roles at Kong. #LI-JS2 About Kong: Kong Inc., a leading developer of API and AI connectivity technologies, is building the infrastructure that powers the agentic era. trusted by the Fortune 500 and startups alike, Kong's unified API and AI platform, Kong Konnect, enables organizations to secure, manage, accelerate, govern, and monetize the flow of intelligence across APIs and AI models.
