IT Analyst, 1

IT Analyst 1 

Hybrid — Overland Park, KS 

About the Organizations 

IT at Nextworld operates as a shared services function — our IT team directly supports two business units: Nextworld and Cloud Inventory. This role is based in the Overland Park, KS office and serves both organizations, giving you broad exposure across two distinct but complementary software businesses. 

Nextworld 

Nextworld helps companies solve messy, manual back-office workflows in weeks, not years. We work with growth-stage and mid-market businesses that are feeling the strain of Shadow ERP: spreadsheets, workarounds, disconnected systems, IT backlogs, and critical processes that live in people’s heads instead of governed systems. 

Our approach is simple: start with one painful problem, deliver a quick win fast, prove value, and grow from there. We help customers build what is missing, extend what they already have, and automate tedious work with AI — all without ripping out the ERP and systems they depend on. 

Cloud Inventory 

Cloud Inventory mobile-first applications empower organizations with real-time inventory visibility at all points in the supply chain, from the warehouse to the field. Based in Kansas City, our global team has the supply chain knowledge and mobile-first development expertise to deliver solutions that solve today’s business challenges. 

The Opportunity 

Nextworld is looking for an IT Analyst 1 to join our team based out of the Overland Park, KS office.

You’ll be the front-line resource for end-user technical support across both organizations, keeping systems running and people productive. 

This is a hands-on role for someone who thrives on solving problems quickly, communicates clearly under pressure, and takes pride in delivering exceptional service. If you like variety, ownership, and contributing to a team that powers the rest of the business, this is your role.
