2 — Does KnowBe4 offer remote or hybrid work? (Remote Work Policy)
Answer-first: KnowBe4 operates a flexible/hybrid approach to work—employees and teams commonly have options to work remotely, in a hybrid model, or in office locations depending on role and geography; the company’s careers pages describe flexibility as an explicit feature of its work environment KnowBe4 Careers — Careers in USA / Flexible Work Environment KnowBe4 Careers — Benefits & Perks.
Details and evidence: KnowBe4’s careers content states that the company provides “ultimate flexibility to adjust to the needs of each employee and each team,” and notes that many roles are available in remote or hybrid formats across its global offices KnowBe4 Careers — Locations & Culture. The company lists remote job postings (for example, account executive roles) alongside location‑based roles such as software engineering positions in Clearwater, FL on its public job listings KnowBe4 Job Openings. Third‑party job boards and KnowBe4’s own job listings show a mix of remote, hybrid and office‑based roles, confirming that remote and hybrid arrangements are part of the company’s hiring mix KnowBe4 Job Openings Greenhouse / KnowBe4 jobs board.
Practical note for candidates: Specific teams may set expectations (for example, some sales or customer‑facing roles may be hybrid or location‑tethered). Job listings on KnowBe4’s careers page and the associated job posting will list the role’s work arrangement; candidates should review individual job details on https://www.knowbe4.com/careers/job-openings KnowBe4 Job Openings.
3 — What is the salary range at KnowBe4? (Compensation)
Answer-first: Specific company‑wide salary ranges are not published by KnowBe4 on its public careers pages; role‑level salary information is available through third‑party salary aggregators and employee reports, which show meaningful variance by role, level and geography. The company’s careers pages do not publish standardized salary bands for every open position; therefore, specific data regarding company‑wide salary ranges is not publicly disclosed by KnowBe4 on its official career pages KnowBe4 Careers — Job Openings.
What external data shows: Salary aggregator sites and employee‑submitted salary reports (Glassdoor, PayScale and similar aggregators) list role‑level compensation ranges for KnowBe4 positions; those role reports show variation by function—sales roles typically include commission/OTE structures, engineering roles report higher median total packages, and support and junior roles report lower base ranges Glassdoor — KnowBe4 Salaries overview. Because these are external, user‑submitted aggregates rather than company‑issued bands, they should be treated as indicative rather than authoritative Glassdoor — KnowBe4 Salaries (aggregate).
Guidance for candidates: The company’s public job postings are the best starting point for compensation expectations; candidates should also consult reputable salary sites and discuss ranges with KnowBe4 recruiters during the application process. Because KnowBe4’s own careers content does not publish uniform salary bands, we consider the specific company‑wide salary range to be not publicly disclosed on official channels KnowBe4 Careers — Job Openings Glassdoor — KnowBe4 Salaries overview.
4 — How does KnowBe4 handle layoffs? (Job Security)

What the public record shows: The KnowBe4 careers content and the assembled evidence for this report list hiring activity across multiple locations and roles, and company press materials emphasize growth and recognition; none of the company pages and certification materials included in our evidence set record a recent public layoff announcement KnowBe4 Careers — Open Positions KnowBe4 press. Independent review of the dataset assembled for this report returned no verified company press release or official filing by KnowBe4 describing a workforce reduction at the time of publication.
Caveats: Absence of a public announcement in the sources reviewed is not definitive proof that individual team reorganizations or local staffing changes have not occurred; it means that no publicly verifiable, company‑wide layoff announcement was present in the evidence used for this report KnowBe4 Careers.
