The Role

This is a chance to be a genuine change-maker in US higher education — and one of the most compelling sales opportunities in the market right now.

Kinetic is the global market leader in enterprise software for student housing, residence life, conferencing, events, and campus operations. We've been doing this since 1998. More than 350 institutions across the world run on our platform. We are trusted, proven, and battle-tested at scale.

And yet, in the United States, most residence life and housing teams have never heard of us.
That's the opportunity.

There are only two vendors in the world capable of handling the deep, complex operational demands of large-scale student housing at the enterprise level. We are one of them. Until recently, US institutions haven't had a genuine choice. Many are running on legacy systems they've outgrown — systems that frustrate their teams and limit what they can deliver for students. Now there's a credible alternative, with a 27-year track record of transforming operations at institutions just like theirs.

This role is about closing. It takes a seasoned new logo hunter — someone who knows how to build conviction in an uninformed audience, navigate complex institutional sales cycles, and drive decisions in an environment where inertia is the enemy. You won't just be opening doors; you'll be walking through them, winning over stakeholders at every level, and bringing home contracts that mark the beginning of decades-long partnerships.

Once you close, you hand over to a dedicated customer delivery and success team who take ownership of the relationship — so you can stay focused on hunting. But make no mistake: the partnerships you create are permanent. Kinetic is part of Volaris Group and Constellation Software, a buy-and-hold acquirer — we will never be sold. The institutions that choose us are choosing a partner that will be there for the long haul, investing in their success year after year. What you win, we keep — and we build on — forever.

If you're a top-tier new logo closer who wants to do meaningful work — not just hit a number — this role was built for you.
Who We Are

Kinetic is part of Volaris Group, a division of Constellation Software Inc. — one of the largest software companies in the world. Constellation is a buy-and-hold acquirer. We are never sold. We grow, we invest, and we build for the long term alongside other global market leaders in education technology and beyond.

That backing matters. It means the resources, the stability, and the ambition to win in the US market — for good.
