Do you want to know more before you contact us? Here is a list of common questions.

What is your main focus as a company?

We have always had strong development teams that were able to cover projects of great size and in outstanding quality. Since 2015, we have also been working on projects dealing with data in marketing and platforms. We primarily facilitate digital customer experience - mainly in large volumes - both strategically and technologically. 

The long-run effect of our work is a perfectly running tech/data system, usually also an increase in sales, brand equity or just a system to control any data and its stream. 

The final solution is always a puzzle we have to solve together within our team & our client. 

Examples of projects we have worked on: 

• Digital transformation of Daimler/Mercedes customer journey using Salesforce Marketing Cloud

• Global scalable website development for Procter-Gamble 

• Centralised European CRM management for Renault 

How does it feel to work in KINDRED.?

• We are a great team of friendly colleagues, happy to share our professional know-how and offer a helping hand. 

• We are a very international environment - now having more than 20 nationalities on board, yet without a complicated hierarchy, you can meet the top management on a daily basis. Expect to speak English often. 

• We allow a high level of independence and freedom to show your talent, deliver meaningful results and come up with innovative ideas. 

• We respect our people, and therefore we offer flexibility to choose a mix of remote/office work, the volume and type of your contract, or your own set of benefits within the Publicis Care benefit scheme.

How does the management work?

Since mid-2025, the Czech team has been led by Ondřej Liška, Czech Site Lead. His leadership is open and approachable, rooted in trust, collaboration, and the belief that the best ideas come from within the team. From an organisational perspective, the Czech team reports to Poland, while maintaining a high level of autonomy in day-to-day operations. Ondřej is supported by Václav Obst (Finance Manager) and Karolína Janatová (HRBP), who ensure the team has the support and space to contribute, innovate, and take ownership of their work.

So what about Publicis Groupe - what is their role?

The Publicis Headquarters need us to apply certain processes in management or safety standards, but they give us a lot of independence and plenty of opportunities. They also provide shared funding and support on global projects.

All CZ brands share the same office and support teams like HR, finance, and IT. Apart from that, pretty much everything is up to us. We enjoy the culture of a startup within a global top advertising player. 

How is the team organised?

We are almost reaching a headcount of 100, yet most of our teams are not larger than 15 people. We still prefer to do it the old way - having our own table and a manager you meet in person, so unless you prefer a hotspot, you will probably sit close to your team or people you relate to.

People usually are or can be in touch with their manager daily. We will also connect you to people who do similar work on other projects so that sharing know-how and getting help will be easier for you. It is very common that people come and ask questions, share/test ideas together.

We have a system of team or project statuses, 1:1 regular meetings, 360 evaluations and other tools and methods to clarify & manage expectations and satisfaction on both sides. All of it is supported by a great People Care team, who are happy to listen and help.

Ok, so you say know-how is your priority -  how?

It is within our cultural code, and it is our top priority to share & learn from other teams or within teams. Most of the development is run within the company/teams either by senior colleagues or our partners. We encourage our people to complete certifications like Salesforce Marketing Cloud, Adobe Campaign, and others we use for projects and that are highly demanded on the labour market here as well as abroad. We provide opportunities to learn and grow, especially within the data, digital marketing, and international cooperation domains. Soft skills, languages and other broader L&D topics come from our HQ-HR team. It is also possible to join training programs from other parts of the Publicis - trends in TikTok, stress management, you name it.

What technologies and tools do you use?

Our IT tech stack with the most common technologies marked in Bold:

• FE: React, Vue.js, HTML, CSS, SCSS

What does your Office look or feel like?

We are based on one of the two floors of the Publicis Groupe CZ Office at Palmovka - Dock IV. It is a brand new & fully equipped Office Park just a few meters from Palmovka metro station that has balconies with an amazing view of the Vltava river. We enjoy fresh morning coffee & evening drinks there. Also parties, gatherings or grill-soares. You will love it!

Ok, also, how does the hiring process look?

We react as fast as we can. We usually call/mail first to check that we are on the same page regarding the position, and then we set up the first call. The first call is usually online, and attendees include our HR specialists and your future manager. The next time we meet is always in the Office so that you can check how you feel there and see the people on the team. Sometimes we test your skills - always briefly and reasonably. If all works out well, you can be aboard within a couple of days. We can also plan your start day months ahead. We are hiring and growing basically nonstop! 

Last but not least- do you offer any benefits?

Yes, of course! You can choose one of four care pack variants focusing on well-being, health, fun or growth, respectively. Among these are classic cafeteria vouchers, meal allowances, insurance, or an extra week of paid holiday, psychotherapy, or very cool perks like a company chalet (chata) or charity projects during work time. Just get your individual mix.  Moreover, we offer a variety of events, training, and company discounts. Enjoy!
