You will develop deep expertise across Virtuous CRM+ and Raise, diagnose complex technical and workflow challenges, and partner closely with Engineering and Customer Success to drive timely, effective resolutions that protect donor trust and customer confidence.

• Meet and maintain performance metrics including response time, resolution time, ticket throughput, and CSAT.

• Troubleshoot complex, non-standard issues by reproducing problems, analyzing data, and identifying root causes.

• Investigate and validate potential product defects, document findings clearly, and collaborate with Engineering through Jira to drive resolution.

• Propose creative and practical solutions or workarounds to help customers accomplish their goals—even when the product isn’t behaving as expected.

• Manage customer expectations by providing timely updates, setting clear next steps, and communicating technical details in an understandable way.

• Work closely with Customer Success to support customer health, retention, and overall experience.

• Adapt to evolving responsibilities and priorities in a fast-paced, growing SaaS environment.
