About the role

Are you ready to unlock intelligence?

If you don’t think you meet all of the criteria below but are still interested in the job, please apply. Nobody checks every box - we’re looking for candidates that are particularly strong in a few areas, and have some interest and capabilities in others.

Build Kong’s India marketing engine from the ground up.

About the Role:

Kong is the AI connectivity company. We help engineering teams manage, secure, and scale the APIs and AI traffic that power modern businesses.

India represents a significant growth opportunity for Kong. We’re looking for a Field Marketing Manager to build our marketing presence in the market from the ground up—turning strategic priorities into programs that create demand, accelerate pipeline, and establish Kong as a leader in API and AI connectivity.

This is a builder’s role. There’s no established playbook, inherited marketing engine, or existing team to lean on. You’ll have the ownership to define the strategy, make the bets, build the programs, and prove what works.

You’ll partner closely with Sales, global marketing, and channel partners to bring Kong’s story to India’s enterprise technology leaders. You’ll be expected to think strategically, execute hands-on, and connect every marketing investment to measurable business outcomes.

Your mission: build a repeatable, scalable marketing engine that drives growth for Kong in India.

What You’ll Do:

Own the India marketing strategy

Define the regional marketing strategy, priorities, and investment plan in alignment with India Sales and global marketing.

Identify the industries, enterprise accounts, and buyer segments with the greatest growth potential.

Turn market insights into focused programs that generate pipeline and accelerate revenue.

Make deliberate choices about where to invest—and where not to.

Build and execute account-based marketing

Partner with Sales to develop and prioritize target account lists, buying groups, and account-specific growth strategies.

Design and execute ABM programs that engage decision-makers, build buying-group awareness, and create opportunities within strategic accounts.

Coordinate campaigns, executive engagement, content, and field activities around account priorities.

Measure account engagement, opportunity creation, pipeline influence, and progression through the sales cycle.

Create demand that converts

Build integrated demand generation programs across digital, content, email, events, and partner channels.

Translate Kong’s global messaging into locally relevant campaigns that resonate with India’s enterprise technology buyers.

Work with Sales to define lead qualification, routing, follow-up SLAs, and conversion targets.

Requirements

·A builder’s mindset. You’ve built a marketing function, regional program, or demand engine from scratch—not just operated an established one.
·B2B technology marketing experience. You understand how to market complex technology solutions to enterprise buyers and translate technical value into business impact.
·Strong ABM and demand generation expertise. You know how to prioritize accounts, engage buying groups, generate demand, and build programs that contribute to pipeline.
·A track record in high-growth environments. You’re comfortable with ambiguity, shifting priorities, limited resources, and the need to move quickly.
·Cross-functional leadership. You can align Sales, global marketing, partners, and regional stakeholders without relying on formal authority.

Benefits

No benefits package published with this listing. Ask about it at first interview.
