Customer Support Representative

ABOUT GIVEBACKS

Givebacks is the only platform built for K–12 that connects districts, parent organizations, and families in one simple, transparent payment ecosystem. Built on more than a decade of K–12 experience, we bring simplicity to school fundraising and payments so districts, organizations, and families can focus on what matters most: students.

Our mission is to give back the time and energy K–12 communities lose to admin work — by making school payments and fundraising simple, transparent, and cost-effective. Our vision is a world where every K–12 community has access to a simple, unified ecosystem for managing school payments and fundraising.

We live by five values: Carry the log (we share the weight as one team), Healthy hard work (we honor the whole person and celebrate the wins), Do the thought work (we make decisions with data and clear thinking), Passionate change makers (ambitious optimists making a real difference), and Comfortably uncomfortable (lifetime learners who fail forward). If that sounds like you, you'll fit right in.

Help us be the calm, caring voice every school community can count on.

Do you find real satisfaction in helping people, especially when you can turn a confused or frustrated message into a moment where someone feels heard? Are you patient, steady, and happiest with a clear process to follow rather than constant chaos? At Givebacks, our support team is the first voice thousands of parents, PTA volunteers, and school communities hear when something isn’t working. If you thrive in a warm, well-defined environment and take pride in getting the details right every time, this role was built with you in mind. 

THE ROLE

As a Customer Support Representative, you will be the first read on every incoming ticket, deciding what it needs and where it goes, then following through with clear, warm, and accurate replies. Some days will be quiet and steady. Others, especially during back-to-school season, will move fast. Either way, you’ll rely on a documented process, careful attention to detail, and a genuine calm that keeps your work consistent no matter what’s in the queue. You’ll also be a first line of feedback, flagging anything confusing or broken back to the team that can fix it. 

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Triage and Response

• Read, tag, and route every inbound ticket quickly and accurately so nothing sits unread and nothing urgent slips through.

Quality & Growth

• Complete a structured 90-day onboarding path toward full independent ownership of the triage queue.
