Product Marketing Manager, AI Governance (EMEA)
Location: EMEA
About the Role
Kong is building the connectivity layer for the AI era — securing, governing, and monetizing every LLM, MCP, agent, and API request in production.
As the Product Marketing Manager for our AI portfolio, you'll be the commercial engine behind the fastest-moving part of our business. Working alongside a team of deeply technical product marketers who own positioning for AI traffic management, agent identity, and AI observability, you'll plan the launches, campaigns, and content that drive pipeline.
This is a high-leverage execution role. You'll own launches, content, and campaign execution across the entire AI portfolio, serving as the single interface between AI R&D and the demand generation, field marketing, and sales teams that bring our story to market.
What You'll Do
- Own launch execution across the AI portfolio — Manage the launch calendar, tiering framework, and cross-functional launch process for all AI product releases, coordinating inputs from technical PMM specialists into cohesive go-to-market moments.
- Drive campaign strategy and content — Partner with demand generation and field marketing to build campaign briefs, messaging frameworks, and content assets (web copy, ebooks, webinars, videos) that translate technical differentiation into buyer-relevant narratives.
- Serve as the commercial interface layer — Act as the single point of contact between the AI product marketing team and downstream marketing and sales functions, ensuring consistent messaging across every AI offering.
- Support field and partner enablement — Collaborate with the revenue enablement team to deliver launch-aligned sales assets, talk tracks, and competitive positioning for the AI portfolio.
- Coordinate with event marketing — Drive AI portfolio presence at flagship events, including product announcements, session content, and booth messaging.
- Measure and iterate — Track launch and campaign performance, gather field feedback, and continuously refine messaging and asset strategy based on what moves pipeline.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Who You Are
- 2+ years of experience in product marketing, product management, or solutions engineering — ideally at an AI/ML platform company.
- A genuine, hands-on interest in AI infrastructure. You follow developments in LLM deployment, agentic frameworks, the Model Context Protocol, and AI governance, and can speak credibly to AI platform engineers without bluffing.
- A proven ability to translate complex technical concepts into crisp narratives that land with both technical practitioners and C-suite buyers.
- A track record of developing product launches, sales enablement materials, and competitive intelligence programs that move pipeline and accelerate deals.
- 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.
