## About the role

Kong's IT team is standing up a new capability: a small, specialized group that goes directly into business functions and builds AI into how work gets done. We call them AI Enablement Specialists — and we're looking for a senior practitioner to help lead that effort.

## What they're looking for

- Hands-on experience with AI development platforms and tools such as Claude, Claude Code, MCPs, LLM APIs, custom agent frameworks, or workflow automation platforms
- Background in change management, organizational development, or a large-scale rollout that required bringing skeptical stakeholders along
- Experience in consulting, solutions engineering, or a client-facing technical role where you had to earn trust and deliver results quickly
- Familiarity with the enterprise SaaS tools Kong runs on: Okta, Slack, Google Workspace, Salesforce, Jira, or Freshservice
- Experience creating internal toolkits, playbooks, or training programs that outlived your involvement and were adopted at scale
- Familiarity with Kong Konnect, Kong Gateway, or API management concepts — understanding how APIs and AI models connect will help you build smarter tools
