Why Join KEV?
This is a unique opportunity to shape a product that blends the in-person consumer facing side of the B2B2C model with the operational needs of public institutions — all while making a meaningful impact in K-12 education.

The ideal candidate will have a proven track record of deciphering and optimizing complex workflows, coupled with a passion for creating intuitive, user-friendly experiences that delight even the most change-resistant users.
As a key player in our high-growth environment, you'll own major initiatives around our in-person POS and payments experiences - from concession stands and merchandise tables to ticket booths and fee collection. We're looking for a strategic thinker with outstanding communication skills, deep empathy, and a drive to effect meaningful change. Your ability to thrive in a fast-paced setting and deliver results under pressure will be crucial. Your ability to take things in stride and with a sense of humor will be appreciated.
