Support Technician

Our first shop opened in 1981 in Penzance, selling durable clothing to artists and mariners. Today, we’re a modern, data-enabled omnichannel retailer with a growing international presence. We blend heritage with innovation, designing timeliness clothing made from responsibility sourced fabrics, and using technology to improve how we operate, grow and serve customers.

As we scale in the UK, North America and Europe (primarily through third-part partnerships), we’re investing in data, systems and digital capability to support our people and our growth. It’s an exciting time to join us!

There will be 1 in 4 on-call rota requirement for this role. Further details can be shared at interview stage.

• Supporting colleagues with software releases and ensuring systems, interfaces, and batch routines run smoothly.
• Preparing hardware, maintenance and troubleshooting where required.
• Participating in daily stand-ups, weekly team meetings, and regular reviews of overdue tickets with the Service Desk team

• A keen interest in technology.
