Customer Support Specialist

About Zeffy

Zeffy is the fastest-growing nonprofit platform in North America, helping organizations raise funds, run events, and engage donors. We are already working with more than 80,000 nonprofits and are doubling annually.

Millions of people dedicate their lives to causes beyond profit, running schools, shelters, and community initiatives. Yet most still lack modern tools. We believe the greatest opportunity for technology today is to amplify the impact of nonprofits.

Built on a sustainable, self-funded model, Zeffy reaches over 1M donors monthly and grows profitably, giving us the freedom to focus fully on our mission.

Nonprofit workers are heroes. They deserve the best technology, and we’re hiring top minds and top hearts to build it for them.

What makes our Support Team unique

As a Customer Support Specialist at Zeffy (reporting to the Head of CS), you’ll help thousands of nonprofits get the most out of our tools. You’ll spend most of your time supporting users via email and callbacks, and the rest owning projects that improve our support processes, tools, and overall experience.

We’re not your average support team. Unlike traditional tiered setups, everyone on our team handles complex and meaningful cases from day one. Our team of seven is passionate, driven, and if we’re being honest… pretty cool.

Support won’t be your only focus. Every two months, you’ll be assigned a project tailored to your skills and interests, so that you can grow your career. You’ll fully own your targets and metrics, and not just contribute to impactful decisions, you’ll actually make them happen. Our culture is built on trust, autonomy, and growth.

We have the best clients. Our users are nonprofit organizations doing incredible work. They’re kind, mission-driven, and genuinely appreciative of the help we provide. Our 4.9/5 satisfaction score speaks for itself!

If you’re ambitious, tech-savvy, and thrive in fast-paced environments, we’d love to meet you!
