Raisely’s Customer Support Specialists are our phenomenal front-line support team for our customers. They are product experts who understand best-practice fundraising, and how to bring a campaign to life on our platform.

You’ll be responsible for working closely with customers over our email support channels. On any single day you will be helping a charity set up a campaign, troubleshooting an issue you’ve found, tweaking the design of a page using CSS, or helping write clear and helpful documentation for our customers to find and use.

Beyond the day-to-day, you’ll play a pivotal role in improving Raisely. You’ll regularly bring customer feedback into our product roadmap, and partner with our engineering team as new features are built. You’ll have opportunities to share your expertise on webinars, our blog, and in best-practice guides and videos, as well as have opportunities to work with the rest of the team on our quarterly goals.

We’re on a mission to create the world’s first unified cloud platform for nonprofits. We empower nonprofits to connect with supporters, build impactful fundraising campaigns, and drive contributions to meaningful causes.

We’re a remote, mission-driven team spanning the globe, passionate about empowering nonprofits to amplify their impact. We value curiosity, collaboration, and creativity, leaving egos at the door while working toward innovative solutions for world-changing customers.

What will you be doing (your role)?

Here are some things that you might tackle in your first few months. Importantly, we’ll be here to support you along the way.

• Reply to questions in our support queue and expertly guide customers as they create their fundraising campaigns.

• Complete full reviews of campaigns before they go live, spotting little errors and opportunities to improve.

• Workshop new features with your peers, analyzing customer feedback and presenting it clearly in a feature pitch.

• Help craft helpful and easy-to-follow documentation to guide users on Raisely.

• Solve issues reported by our users, log bugs, and follow up with the engineering team to fix them quickly, as well as test beta versions of new features to spot potential issues and ensure our users have a smooth experience.

• Brainstorm with the team to find ways to make the Raisely customer experience even more amazing.

What we’re looking for (requirements):

• You’re technical & product-minded for our customers

• You have basic web coding knowledge (HTML & CSS), some experience in debugging API, integration & webhook issues, analytical skills, and the ability to navigate product processes, advocate for improvements, and collaborate with engineering and product teams.

• You’re a quick-learner & self-driven

• At Velora, we're constantly evolving our products and making them work seamlessly across our brands. You're comfortable picking up product knowledge on the fly and are self-driven to seek out information and understand how to support customers using different products.

• You're an empathetic communicator

• You have strong communication skills, empathy, and problem-solving abilities and can handle a high volume of support tickets while maintaining quality and customer satisfaction. You will inject your unique personality into your words within the support queue and you’ll spend every day speaking to passionate people, helping them create campaigns with a substantial impact in the world. For many of our customers, it’s their first time doing something like this. You’ll lean on your empathy to understand their goals, and support them in a way that will work for their unique situation.

• You thrive on solving problems

• Anyone on our Customer Success team will tell you that no day is the same. You’ve got to love understanding a problem and digging into it independently. Digital products come naturally to you, and you love playing around with something and getting it to work by yourself.

• You care about making a difference

• Yeah, we’re all here because we want to make the world better (and by that we mean a carbon-neutral utopia with world peace and just laws, where all people are treated the same with equal opportunity to thrive). So you’ve got to want that too! Bonus points if you know a little bit about the fundraising world.
