TECHNICAL SUPPORT SPECIALIST

The company provides a cloud-based native Salesforce application for SMS and WhatsApp communications, along with expert Salesforce implementation services, to a diverse range of clients, including global education organizations, nonprofits, social ventures, foundations, international development organizations, and commercial businesses.

This role is a great fit for someone who is curious, a quick learner, and solution-focused when it comes to client needs.

What we hold sacred around here

Empathy: A powerful characteristic that’s about being in tune, seeing, knowing, and understanding others while also relating as a human in a tech-minded world. Listen. Ask questions. Offer tactful solutions. Instead of serving our own interests, we are wired to serve others.

Hustle & Tenacity: We are action-oriented and happiest in motion. We take pride in delivering exceptional experiences for our clients & partners. In the midst of adversity or challenges, we don't quit, but hold to a vision and eliminate barriers to find resolution & make things happen.

Twinkle in your Eye: It’s that hidden energy, emotion, or humor – the excitement of having a particular idea before putting it into action. You know something about something and you are excited to share that knowledge.

Proactive: We aim for a no-surprises policy that builds trust by outlining next steps early and often, identifying patterns, and courageously communicating. A little extra effort up front saves a big effort later on. Proactivity is a generous and conscientious act.

Growth Minded:  We are continually evolving, creating, beautifully curious, and willing to step outside our comfort zones. Unwilling to settle for how things are, we are always looking for ways to engage more effectively and efficiently. Navigating a growing and dynamic business is easiest with a growth mindset.
