Senior Technical Product Marketing Manager Agent Identity & Auth (EMEA)

As enterprises move from AI experiments to production agentic systems a new problem has emerged: agents are non-human actors that need identity authentication and authorization and the traditional identity stack wasnt built for them.

This role owns Kongs story in one of the most important emerging categories in AI infrastructure. As Senior Technical PMM for Agent Identity & Auth youll define how the market understands agent identity: how agents are authenticated what theyre authorized to access and how enterprises establish trust and accountability across autonomous systems.

This is a category-shaping role. Youll build the narrative for a market thats still being defined with the opportunity to establish Kong as the definitive voice on non-human identity in agentic architectures.

• Own positioning and messaging for agent identity and auth Define the technical narrative for how Kong authenticates authorizes and governs agents and other non-human actors across AI and API traffic.

• Shape the category Develop thought leadership that frames the agent identity problem for the market and establishes Kongs point of view through blogs talks analyst conversations and industry engagement.

• A proven ability to translate complex technical concepts into crisp narratives that land with both technical practitioners and C-suite buyers.

• 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 energize you rather than intimidate you.

• Experience in open-source software SaaS platforms and enterprise go-to-market motions is strongly preferred.

• Familiarity with the AI connectivity landscape -including awareness of competing and complementary vendors across API gateways AI observability vector databases iPaaS and agentic orchestration frameworks - is a strong plus.
