Job Description
Join Kong, a leading API management platform, as a Senior Staff Product Manager (Billing). In this role, you will lead the product and systems work behind Konnect's monetization strategy, including entitlements, metering, checkout, invoicing, and provisioning. You will work closely with various teams, including Product Growth, Pricing & Packaging, Finance, GTM, Sales, and Engineering. This position offers flexible time off, stock options, a home office stipend, and dedicated unplug days.
- Lead the product and systems work behind how Konnect makes money, including entitlements, metering, checkout, invoicing, provisioning, and enterprise and marketplace motions.
- Act as the product owner of Konnect's commercial operating layer, overseeing plan and entitlement design, usage metering pipeline, self-serve checkout, and subscription lifecycle.
- Work collaboratively with cross-functional teams, including Product Growth, Pricing & Packaging, Finance, GTM, Sales, and Engineering, to ensure successful product delivery.
- Have built or scaled consumption-based monetization and understand the tradeoffs between simplicity, accuracy, and customer trust when metering drives the invoice
- Pull your own numbers when you need them (SQL, Snowflake, Hex, or equivalent) and use data to set priorities rather than to decorate decisions already made
- Independently define and execute the long-term vision to bring billing, fulfillment, and provisioning to best-in-class for the company's success
- Have at least 6 years of product management experience in SaaS, with 2 or more spent directly in a billing, monetization, or pricing domain
- Have worked directly with Stripe or a metered billing platform (Metronome, Orb, OpenMeter), not through an engineer
- Hold billing surfaces (plan pages, checkouts, invoices, usage dashboards) to the same design standard as the rest of the product
- Can reason about the moving parts of a billing stack well enough to co-design the architecture with your engineering partner
- Have worked in or adjacent to API, infrastructure, or developer-platform products, and are comfortable with the technical context that comes with that territory
- Have carried a pricing or packaging change from proposal through to production, including financial modeling, plan configuration, grandfathering logic, migrations, sales enablement, and customer communication
- Experience leading an end-to-end pricing transformation or building a billing system from scratch
- Proficiency using LLMs and coding agents as part of your day-to-day product management workflow
- Shipped cloud marketplace integrations (AWS, GCP, Azure) or Salesforce CPQ-to-billing integrations
