Who We Are ActBlue is a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating cutting-edge technology that fuels Democratic victories and enables progressive causes to thrive. Our vision is simple: building change through the power of people. Since our founding, we’ve been building innovative solutions to revolutionize grassroots fundraising – if you’ve donated to a Democratic campaign or a progressive organization online, you’ve probably used our platform! We believe in putting power in the hands of small-dollar donors by helping thousands of groups — from local candidates to national movements — mobilize their communities and create a lasting impact. Every member of our team is deeply committed to advancing our shared mission and core values. Together, we are shaping the future of democracy. THE OPPORTUNITY The Customer Experience department serves as the front line of support for ActBlue.

The Customer Experience Associate will be primarily responsible for fielding support inquiries via email through our ticketing system and occasionally over the phone. This position involves resolving a variety of questions and requests in a timely fashion, so attention to detail, efficiency, and good judgment are a necessity. The ideal candidate will desire to learn the ins and outs of our platform and become a product expert on how campaigns, organizations, and donors interact with our expanding tools. What You Will Do

• Field and categorize assigned incoming support requests from campaign and organization admins, grassroots fundraisers and update customer profiles (“triage”)
• Meet assigned quality and quantity KPIs
• Act as a resource and educator for campaign and organization users on a variety of inquiries, including but not limited to navigating our products, processing refunds, account access and permissions, and all types of contribution forms
• Assist entity users with technical troubleshooting and bug detection, and work with our technical team on surfacing these issues
• Escalate complex or non-routine issues to manager or appropriate team members using good judgment
• Monitor cross-team communication channels and work collaboratively in assisting with support requests from other user-facing teams

• Organized and efficient via email and over the phone: The person in this role will be responding to a high volume of inquiries each day and will regularly be problem-solving with customers
