Kong Inc.

Partner Sales Manager

Kong Inc.

Partner Sales Manager driving partner revenue growth in India for Kong's API and AI technology solutions. Building strategic partnerships and executing go-to-market plans with key stakeholders.

Posted 6/2/2026full-timeMaharashtra • 🇮🇳 IndiaSeniorLeadWebsite

About the role

Key responsibilities & impact
  • Own the India partner number. Sell Kong's full portfolio — products, renewals, professional services, support — through and with focus partners.
  • Build the joint GTM plan with the India sales team. Identify and sign new partners where there are gaps.
  • Drive partner-sourced pipeline. Set targets, run the cadence, hold partners (and yourself) to them.
  • Build joint assets with focus partners — reference architectures, blueprints, solution briefs that field teams on both sides actually use.
  • Run joint marketing events that generate pipeline, not just logos on a banner.
  • Get inside your partners' business. Understand how they make money, where Kong fits, and what it takes to win together. Then pull in the right cross-functional support — enablement, CX, marketing, ops — to make the projects land.
  • Build a focus partner plan for India and execute it with sales engineering, SDRs, customer success, and marketing alongside you.

Requirements

What you’ll need
  • 8+ years in partner, channel, or alliances sales, with a track record of driving GTM across channel, GSI, and hyperscaler partners.
  • Existing relationships with India's regional and national system integrators. You can name the partners you'd start with on day one.
  • A bias toward net-new, sourced business — not just tagging partners onto deals you'd close anyway.
  • Comfort running many partners and many activities in parallel without losing the thread on any of them.
  • Experience selling infrastructure, developer platforms, or API/AI technology to enterprise buyers in India.
