Kenect Looking for Director of Finance at Pleasant Grove, UT Full Time

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.

We are searching for a strong finance leader to join our team. This position will report directly to our VP of Finance and will take ownership of our FP&A processes.

While Kenect is still a young company, we pride ourselves on accurate, single-source-of-truth data, best-in-class financial actuals and forecasts, and rigorous financial discipline.

We are looking for an ambitious, highly motivated individual who seeks a collaborative, and fast-paced environment. You will have an opportunity to grow your career in a meaningful way but it will require hard work and dedication.
