At Kin + Carta, we’ve got opportunities to offer you — for growth, for leadership, for big, world-changing impact and for, dare we say it, fun. We are a global workforce that is committed to building a world that works better for everyone. And that starts with our Kin. That’s why we’re proud of:

Activities involve pipeline development, lead qualification, customer meetings, proposal development, negotiations, and closing. In addition, you will participate in industry networking and partner-sponsored events to build direct sales pipelines.

You are a trailblazer. You create opportunities for others. You are gritty and never give up. You never let things fall through the cracks.  You can bridge the big picture with the intricacies of execution.  You can hold an executive conversation with confidence.  You have a passion for exploring, “What’s next?” and are highly motivated, productive and organized.  You have the ability to build trust and rapport with stakeholders and connect the dots for the right support and craft a story to win.
