Khoros built from Spredfast+Lithium:
Khoros, formerly Spredfast + Lithium, is the leading customer engagement platform built to turn siloed knowledge into enterprise value, and customers into contributors. By connecting consumer insights across all departments, Khoros gives companies the ability to run their business with their customers, anticipating their needs and accelerating sales, loyalty, and innovation. With 2,000+ customers, including 52 of the Interbrand 100, and ten offices globally, Khoros powers approximately 500 million digital interactions every day with one of the largest digital footprints in the world. From social media to online communities and messaging to digital customer care, Khoros helps companies authentically connect with customers throughout their journey building Customers for Life.
We are a company built on community. That means a few things.
It means that customer engagement is our guiding light and it’s where we focus our innovation. From our developers to our customer success team to our executive leadership, we all come to work thinking about how to better connect brands with consumers in an increasingly digital world.
It means that we believe customers should come first in brands’ marketing and care efforts—including our own. We work with transformative marketers at the world’s best brands. We celebrate their successes and stay attuned to their needs and desires.
It means that we stay social together. Team lunches, group fitness sessions, and company-sponsored volunteer opportunities are just a few of the many ways that our team stays connected.
Khoros embodies cultural diversity through inclusivity and team engagement. Not only do we offer catered lunches and regular massage sessions, but we organise quarterly social experiences and team-building activities and fortnightly 'Lunch and Learn' sessions to find out about other teams and individual topics of interest.
We approach who we hire and how we work based on a set of core values that support our company vision, shape our culture, and reflect our core beliefs as an organisation.
We earn trust through our actions and attitudes—Our customers and colleagues trust us to follow through on our promises. Every day, we earn that trust by working hard, operating with transparency and positive intent, and delighting our customers with our best efforts. We do what we say we’re going to do, and we know our contributions are measured not only by what we deliver but how we deliver it.
We win and grow as one team—Our greatest strength is our people. We aim to attract and retain amazing people with curiosity and aptitude to tackle complex questions with a growth mindset. We are motivated to take risks, work hard and have fun together. Being part of our team means contributing to a supportive, collaborative environment. We high five each other when we win, and we pick each other up when we fall.
We listen, learn, and lead to help our customers succeed—With our combined expertise, we offer the market a deep knowledge in customer engagement that is unparalleled. We believe that being a leader means growing and evolving with our customers. One of our strongest competitive advantages is our ability to listen to our customers when they give us feedback and turn those insights into action. If our customers succeed, so do we.
Diversity and Inclusion
We're stronger when we're diverse
When we say everyone should feel included at work, we mean every single person. We’re stronger when we’re diverse, which means our business relies on having different voices and perspectives at the table. All backgrounds, national origins, races, religions, sexual orientations, ages, abilities, and family structures are welcome at Khoros.
Equality and Transparency
We're stronger when we're equal and transparent
We are committed to equal pay across the organization as well as advocating for equality in the communities where we live and work. This is the kind of work that is never “done”, and we believe we should be vocal about the progress we still need to make.
