About the Role
Kong is hiring a Content Manager to join our globally distributed marketing team. In this position, you'll shape how Kong tells its story externally — writing and editing content that resonates with both developers and business decision-makers.
You'll help run a content calendar that serves marketing and corporate communications priorities across regions. You'll own and execute content across formats, from first draft to published, and work closely with product marketing, demand gen, and comms to keep our editorial output sharp, on-brand, and strategically grounded. You'll also help surface stories worth telling and find the right way to tell them.
We're looking for someone who writes clearly for both a senior engineer and a VP of Engineering — and knows the difference. Someone who understands enterprise software and can get up to speed on a complex, technical product without much hand-holding. And someone comfortable using AI tools to move faster, but who believes a strong human touch is what makes content worth reading.

Ensure older content remains current and valuable by regularly auditing, updating, and optimizing for search and audience needs.
Support content promotion across platforms including LinkedIn, X (formerly Twitter), YouTube, and others.
