You don’t settle for what’s #trending. You want to be the trendsetter. You have an eye for design, impeccable grammar and are always dreaming up new ways to build amazing social media content that bring results.
You are enthusiastic about all things marketing. Your passion for marketing doesn’t stop at social media, and you’re striving to grow your skills beyond this area. You’re eager to test new things, have a couple of marketing podcasts in heavy rotation, and nerd out over the numbers that show true impact.
You are a team player. You thrive in an environment where you can collaborate and work toward a common goal. You don’t need the spotlight to feel successful. Helping other people is how you define your own success.

You are ambitious and proactive. You can see the big picture and identify potential roadblocks in the process. You don’t stop trying when you reach a hurdle. Instead, you proactively find solutions and lead yourself well. You take ownership of your work. You aren’t satisfied unless the best possible product is out the door.
You are incredibly organized. Organization is your middle name. You love checklists and the satisfaction that comes from getting things done and making things happen. You are excited to color-code a calendar. You love taking what others see as chaos and creating a clear plan.

What We Do at KCM
For the past 13 years, KCM has been partnering with real estate agents to help families as they go through the home buying and selling process. We do this by helping agents better understand what’s happening in the overall real estate market so they can communicate the impact it has on their clients.
We believe every family should feel confident when buying and selling a home.
We believe in education. It’s the responsibility of a real estate professional to educate and serve their clients so that they can make confident and powerful decisions they feel good about.
We believe the best way to help families is to understand what’s happening in the market, why it’s happening, how it impacts consumers, and how to effectively communicate this information.
Who We Are at KCM
KCM is a pretty awesome place to work. In each of the last 5 years, we were honored to be recognized as one of the greatest places to work by Great Place to Work https://www.greatplacetowork.com/certified-company/1421922.
Working with the KCM Crew feels like you’re getting paid to hang out with friends. We definitely work hard and will challenge the best from you, but we’re more like family and friends than “office co-workers.” If you’re looking for a fun, exciting, challenging work environment, then KCM may be the place for you. You will be challenged, you will be pushed to grow, and we hope you will push us forward as well.
How to Apply
We have a non-standard application process. To jumpstart the process, we ask a few questions we would normally ask at the start of an interview. This helps speed up the process and helps us get to know you a bit better right out of the gate. Make sure to answer each question.
Then, just wait for us to reply. It can take some time to read through all the applications, but we do read all of them and we reply to everyone, even if it doesn’t seem like a great fit.
We’re excited and look forward to hearing from you soon!
