Form of workAbout us
Kenect is based in the "Silicon Slopes" of Utah. Our goal is to Kenect businesses with consumers through our state-of-the-art business texting platform.
We work very hard to make text messaging the primary communication tool for any business across the U.S. and Canada. Texting is the way the consumer wants to do business. It's time for businesses to embrace that trend and stop the constant game of voicemails, phone tag, and making customers wait on hold.
About This Role
As a Human Resources Business Partner (HRBP), your main role is to align HR strategies with Kenect's overall goals. Your key responsibility is ensuring that HR strategies and initiatives fit seamlessly into the broader business objectives. In this important position, you'll be a catalyst for organizational success, fostering a workplace culture that's dynamic, people-centric, and geared towards success. Your expertise and leadership play a key role in shaping a positive work environment.
What you will be doing
We believe in hiring self-motivated team members who can run alongside us without needing to be "managed" along the way. Yes, we have managers and 1:1s. Yes, we believe in giving open two-way feedback. We also believe in having team members that can run without the daily guidance that some companies prefer.
Kenect is an equal opportunity employer. We are an organization comprised of people of all kinds of backgrounds, and believe this mix is precisely what makes us strong. All employment decisions at Kenect are based on business needs, job requirements, and individual qualifications without regard to race, color, religion or belief, family or parental status, or any other status protected under federal, state, or local law.
