Application Support Specialist

Application Support Specialist Full Time Austin, TX Office, Austin, TX, US Kairos Living is replacing a stack of disconnected tools with our own internal property management operations platform. This is where our maintenance, construction, leasing, procurement, and vendor teams do their daily work. You will be the person who makes the platform click for the people using it. That means becoming the deepest product expert in the company outside of Product itself, training every team that touches the platform, answering their questions in real time, and turning what you learn into documentation, videos, and prioritized feedback for the development team. You'll also own day-to-day administration of the platform's notification system and select system-level configurations. You'll support both internal teams and our external vendor network, so you're comfortable being the patient, friendly voice on the other end of a question, whether it's from a Kairos associate or a general contractor's office manager. This role is for someone who likes being the bridge between the people doing the work and the people building the tool.
