Risks

Risk: Due to job title inflation in the market, your title may differ from what you are used to. We use our own competency matrix and job classification. Our standard is high, so what the market may call program management might be considered project management within KWD.
Measure: Although a title can feel rewarding and hold meaning for some, this is not an obstacle for you. You are driven by craftsmanship and substance.

Risk: KWD uses a model consisting of 70 percent fixed salary and 30 percent flexible compensation. That 30 percent is linked to the so-called Components A, B and C. These reflect the entrepreneurial character of KWD and our people.
Measure: KWD stands for Ability, Willingness and Courage. You have all three. For Component A, you contribute enthusiastically to KWD as an organization. Together with your project hours, these count as productive hours under Component B. Component C is the profit distribution.
