Company description

Kekst CNC Defines Reputation When It Matters Most.

We counsel CEOs, boards, and leadership teams as they seek to grow, transform and protect their businesses. For more than 50 years, companies and institutions have turned to Kekst CNC in high-stakes situations – transactions, transformation, shareholder activism, crises and regulatory scrutiny. In these moments, how a business defines its reputation shapes its future. Our heritage lies at the intersection of strategy, capital markets and reputation. We combine senior counsel, deep insight, critical judgement and rigorous execution so that strategy and communication reinforce each other and drive measurable outcomes.

Overview

Here at Kekst CNC, we enjoy high level access to some of the world’s biggest corporate brands – helping them to deliver first class communication strategies that build trust, reputation, and engage with key stakeholders.

Kekst CNC is seeking a hands-on engineer who builds and ships the solutions – apps, automations, dashboards and AI agents – primarily on our Microsoft foundations but comfortable dropping into code and APIs where that's the better answer. Treats internal teams as clients, works as part of a team delivering client solutions, and supports Kekst CNC globally. Work to support ambitions in Kekst CNC transformation and working directly within Kekst CNC Intelligence, globally as well as within Publicis EMEA AI working group.
