Careers at Kalen

Do great work. With people who give a damn.

We're strategists, creators, problem solvers, project wranglers, technology nerds, storytellers, and people who genuinely care about doing good work.

We're also people with families, hobbies, ambitions, opinions, lives outside of work, and different ways of seeing the world.

Kalen is a place for people who want to contribute, keep learning, take ownership of their work, and be part of a team building something together.

Good people. Good work. Keep getting better.

Real people.
Real work.

Who thrives here

Kalen isn't for everyone. That's kind of the point.

You'll probably like it here if...

You take ownership.

You don't wait for someone else to notice the problem. You communicate, ask questions, find solutions, and follow things through.

You care about the details.

Not because perfection is the goal, but because quality matters and our clients trust us with work that's important to them.

You can handle feedback.

Great work gets better through collaboration. You can give feedback thoughtfully, receive it professionally, and keep moving.

You're curious.

Marketing changes constantly. So do the tools we use. We need people who want to learn, experiment, and get better.

You understand that deadlines matter.

Our work is connected. When one person misses a commitment, someone else usually feels it.

You care about the team.

Individual talent matters. How you use it alongside everyone else matters more.

Talent gets you in the door. How you work matters just as much.

How we work

A lot of different people. One standard for how we show up.

Integrity

Rooted in trust.

Do what you say you'll do. Be honest when something goes wrong. Communicate early. Own it. Fix it.

Intentionality

Purpose in every step.

Understand the why behind the work. Don't just check a box because it's on the task list.

Collaboration

Creating together.

Ask for input. Share what you know. Respect different expertise. Make the work better together.

Results-driven

Performance with impact.

We're here to produce great work, but great work also needs to accomplish something.

Goal-oriented

Driven to achieve.

Know what you're working toward. Manage your commitments. Keep moving the work forward.

These aren't words we put on the wall. They're expectations for how we work.

Life at Kalen

We're serious about the work. We don't think work has to be serious all the time.

We work hard. We move quickly. We solve complicated problems. Some weeks are smoother than others.

But we're also building a workplace where people can enjoy the people they work with, be proud of what they create, continue developing their skills, and have a life outside of Kalen.

Work hard. Live well. Do good.

On location.

Room to own your work

We hire people for their expertise and expect them to use it.

Figuring it out.

A lot of different work

Agency life means industries, audiences, projects, and problems change constantly. Boredom isn't usually the issue.

Website planning sketches and sticky notes on a desk

Yes, this is work.

Keep learning

Marketing doesn't stand still, and neither can we. Learning new tools, technology, strategies, and skills is part of the job.

Work that matters

Our clients include businesses, healthcare organizations, nonprofits, public agencies, and organizations working on issues that affect real communities.

The Kalen Marketing Solutions team

Remote, but still part of the room.

A team around you

Strategy, design, development, content, video, media, technology, and operations don't happen in separate universes here.

Open positions

Find your place on the team. See what we're building next.

We're always interested in meeting smart, capable people who care about their work. When we're actively hiring, you'll find our open positions here.

Don't see your job?

If you don't see an opening that fits your background, you can still introduce yourself. Tell us what you're great at, what kind of work you're looking for, and why Kalen caught your attention.

Introduce Yourself

Sometimes the right person shows up before the right opening does.

Think this might be your kind of place? We'd like to meet you.

We're looking for people who care about the work, care about the people around them, and want to keep getting better at what they do.
