Who We Are: 

KL&A is an IT consulting firm that knocks the socks off our clients. We work closely with organizations across the United States to develop creative business solutions through project & program management and custom software applications so they can focus on what’s most important…their mission.
 

We are honored to be named a Top Workplace by the Detroit Free Press for five consecutive years! Here at KL&A, we love what we do and believe that our employees are our greatest asset which is why we search for the best and brightest (and perhaps the most caffeinated) of the bunch. This is why our employees have the opportunity to work in an environment of their choosing: whether in the dynamic office environment, in your PJ bottoms at home, or a combination of the two. 

Who You Are:  

You’re super creative and thrive in environments that make you think outside the box. You’ve got a smashing sense of humor that you’ve been dying to incorporate into your work. Not only are you looking for a company that’s truly open to new ideas, but you’re hoping to work for people that embrace even the wackiest of ideas. You can’t wait to constantly be a part of something new and exciting. You love capturing a brand’s personality and sharing it with the world. You’re a stickler for perfection, especially when it comes to design. You enjoy collaborating with those around you but can also accomplish tasks as a solo artist. You’re able to seamlessly transition from one task to the next without skipping a beat, as well as juggle multiple tasks when necessary. Continuous learning is important to you, so you stay up-to-date on the latest marketing and design trends. You’re personable, self-motivated, and love lending a hand to your colleagues.
