Are you ready to unlock intelligence? If you don’t think you meet all of the criteria below but are still interested in the job, please apply. Nobody checks every box - we’re looking for candidates that are particularly strong in a few areas, and have some interest and capabilities in others. 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.

If you've already done this kind of work — transforming how people and teams operate through AI — and you're looking for an environment where you can do it at scale with real ownership, this is the role. What you'll do: - Spend time inside business teams to understand how they actually work — their tools, processes, pain points, and highest-priority outputs. - Build AI-powered workflows, automations, and custom tools that address real bottlenecks and deliver measurable time savings. - Help team members develop their own AI skills through one-on-one coaching, working sessions, and structured practice — moving them from early experimentation to confident, independent use. - Recognize when a solution built for one team applies to others, and do the work to make it reusable across the organization. - Establish a clear framework for tracking AI adoption progress across business units and report findings to IT leadership on a regular cadence. - Set documentation standards for the team — every tool, workflow,
