About the Role:
Kong is The AI Connectivity Company. Our platform sits at the centre of how enterprises manage APIs, AI agents, and the infrastructure connecting them and we’re scaling fast. The ADR role is the front line of that growth. The accounts you open today are the expansion stories of tomorrow.
As a Commercial Outbound ADR, you’ll identify and qualify new business opportunities across the EMEA commercial segment, working closely with our Sales and Marketing teams. This isn’t just a job, it’s the best way to fast-track a long career in tech sales.
We invest heavily in our people: a 4-week sales bootcamp, weekly 1-1 mentorship, continuous training throughout your tenure, and a leadership team that actually gets in the trenches with you. If you want an MBA in sales, this is the place to earn it.
