[Hiring] Chat Support Specialist @Givebutter

Role Description

Givebutter is looking for a Chat/Email Support Specialist with a positive attitude, attention to detail, and the ability to understand what a user is really asking - not just what they typed - and respond with clarity and confidence.

As a member of our Customer Support team, you will have the opportunity to support the fundraising efforts of a large and diverse group of NPOs, ranging from small nonprofits to large educational institutions to Fortune 500 companies.

The primary responsibility of this role will be responding to inquiries from current users via live chats and emails. We are an industry leader in the support space with high expectations:

• First response time for live chats is <2 minutes.
• Live chats account for 80% of your workload.
• CSAT is >96%.
• IQS scores must be 98% or above.

This role requires strong problem-solving skills, sound judgment, and confidence, even with a rapidly changing product. You will regularly encounter questions that don’t have an obvious or documented answer. Successful candidates are comfortable analyzing situations in real time, asking thoughtful follow-up questions, and working toward a solution even when the path forward isn’t immediately clear.

We’re looking for someone who takes ownership of the user experience during every chat and email:

• Actively working through problems.
• Thinking beyond the surface question.
• Ensuring the user leaves the conversation feeling confident about the solution.

You’ll have access to internal resources, documentation, and a supportive team - but you’ll be expected to navigate conversations independently and confidently. You should also be comfortable multitasking: researching, navigating tools, and communicating clearly all at once.

If you do your best work when you have time to research before responding, prefer to use a decision tree, or when conversations follow a predictable pattern, this isn't the role you're looking for.

If the thought of waking up every day and getting to "help people help people" excites you, then we look forward to hearing from you. 😀

This is a direct-hire, permanent position. You will be an employee of Givebutter via an EoR called Deel.
