  • Identify problems and escalate to the appropriate next level of support as necessary.
  • Understand the platform and data well enough to respond to basic issues.  
  • Maintain a 1 business day response time for candidate and internal support inquiries.
  • Collect and analyze data to understand trends and potential solutions.
  • Collaborate with partner teams in WeVote to investigate and resolve candidate/user needs.

 

 

Your background:  

  • Computer skills required: Google Workspace 
  • 1-2 years of experience in technical support 
  • Zendesk or similar ticket tracking tool preferred
  • SAAS product support/knowledge preferred
  • Detail oriented 
  • Good written communication skills 
  • Analytical thinker 
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced environment 
  • Capability to explain technical concepts to non-technical users 
 

Essential Requirements

Availability: At least 5 hours each week during our core team hours M-F 9 a.m. - 6 p.m PST with the ability to work 1-2 hours during Pacific Time overlap. Hours are flexible as long as a 1 business day response time is met Monday to Friday.  Must be available to attend the team meeting each week.  

Why This Role Matters

This isn't just volunteer work – it's experience that makes a real difference. You'll develop advanced technical skills, work with cutting-edge civic technology, and help millions of Americans participate more effectively in democracy. Plus, you'll join a network of passionate professionals committed to positive change.
