Department: Support

The Opportunity
The KWI Support team is opening a new opportunity within our Application Support division. As an Application Support Analyst, you will be responsible for supporting our clients as they navigate and utilize our Back Office Merchandising System, Ecommerce Platform, CRM Platform, and myriad other features from the KWI ecosystem of products. To be successful in this role you will need strong technical troubleshooting skills, strong research skills, the ability to self-prioritize a backlog of tickets with varying degrees of technical difficulty and business impact, and the ability to convey complicated technical details to a clientele of non-technical repeat clients.
The Company
We are a small team with a big vision; to be the premier provider of cloud technology solutions for retailers. KWI offers a complete, unified commerce solution from a single database, specifically designed to help specialty retailers grow their business. Our portfolio of customers includes Pandora, David Yurman, Tom Ford and many other globally recognizable brands.
We combine Point of Sale, Merchandising, e-Commerce, CRM, and Loss Prevention into one cloud-based platform. We are a Values and Mission driven organization, and we believe that if we develop and demonstrate leadership in our strategy, operations, and people, we will continue to drive product innovation and service excellence.
Who we are
We have the stability of a company that has been around for 40 years and the energy of a startup that is still figuring out how to do things better every day. We move fast, we question the status quo, and we expect everyone on the team to do the same. If you are genuinely curious, have a better-than-average level of common sense, and get excited by solving real problems rather than just doing your job description — KWI is for you. We do not have a lot of bureaucracy and we do not want people who need it. What we do have is a team that shows up, figures things out, and takes pride in the work.
AI at KWI
We are serious about AI. Not as a buzzword, but as a real part of how we work. We expect every member of our team to actively use AI tools to work smarter, move faster, and do more with less. We are not looking for someone who has heard of AI. We are looking for someone who can walk us through how they use it day to day: in their current role, in how they organize their work, and in how they solve problems. Curiosity and a willingness to experiment are non-negotiable.
