Kinnek is the champion for small businesses. Our mission is to build a single platform for small businesses that makes discovering, transacting and interacting with suppliers more powerful, more trustworthy and easier than ever before. We are doing this by moving the billion dollar industry of small business purchasing online with our revolutionary product and tech.

As a consumer, you buy things at a store. You can easily visit various retailers all over the country to find pricing for what you're looking for, and you can easily find thousands of reviews for something as small as a latte. As a small business, though, things aren't so simple. A small business may buy hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of dollars’ worth of purchases each year, but they're forced to do it in a way that's extremely outdated.

Kinnek is revolutionizing the way small businesses make purchases. We have helped our network of 150,000 businesses in North America receive hundreds of thousands of quotes for purchases worth $4 billion across hundreds of categories. We have also built the first B2B reputation ecosystem, built on a foundation of 18,000+ company profiles containing verified customer reviews and other reputation data that are used to generate trust between businesses.

We are looking for a world class candidate to join our lean, but mighty Operations team. There’s a reason everyone says “Ops Don’t Stop”. The Operations team is the internal driving force at the core of Kinnek - we touch each department within the organization and help to not only build our foundation for growth, but make sure it is operating at its peak performance every day. You will play a pivotal role in making Kinnek “go” — doing all the behind-the-scenes functions necessary to augment and enrich Kinnek’s thriving ecosystem. You will spend the majority of your time leveraging and honing Kinnek’s technology to ensure our suppliers’ valuable product and reputation data is processed swiftly and efficiently. We are looking for a fast learner who is detail-oriented, diligent and eager to crush our daily responsibilities.
