ABOUT KSQUARED
We’re building a social housing sector free from the gatekeeping of sustainability, where going green isn’t just an aspirational thought, but a realistic and life-changing option.
Day to day, we act as a single point of contact throughout the sector, applying our industry expertise to ensure everyone has access to greener housing. This impartial role makes us a trustworthy ally to every party, supporting the implementation of that change from start to finish.
Ksquared was founded by Kasang Kajang in 2019. As an early team member, you’ll have the chance to help Kasang and Francis shape the culture and impact of the company with career progression opportunities. We’re looking for people to join our team who wholeheartedly believe in our vision for the future and want to dedicate their time to carrying out our mission to achieve positive and lasting change in the sector.
Our company values are more than just buzzwords. They represent us as people and inform our behaviours and ways of working - which we’ve spent time crafting carefully together and putting into practice. That’s because a positive company culture matters to us.
Ksquared is a place where we work hard to create excellent outcomes for our clients and partners, and where we ensure we have active, positive lives outside of work, making time for socialising, hobbies and relaxation. We can’t wait to hear about what you love to do, too.
