We are looking for a confident, customer focussed individual who would relish the opportunity to be part of an exciting new venture with big ambitions, to join us as Customer Success Manager. Rocket Fund is a crowdfunding platform for schools that's on a mission to enhance learning for all by enabling students to access the latest technology. We are already making waves across the education sector and we have ambitious plans to transform education globally. This is your chance to get involved in the early stages.

After a successful pilot, with 160 schools across the UK raising £140,000 for a variety of products, we’re now looking to scale the platform further, whilst building a marketplace and online community.

• Supporting users through the fundraising process - to help maximise the amount they raise
• Managing fulfillment & collecting reviews once they hit their target
• Creating content - writing blogs, Tweets and Facebook posts to support teachers & celebrate their achievements

You will also be working closely with the Senior Programme Manager to build the marketplace. This is likely to involve:

• Helping new suppliers to set up their store and get the most out of Rocket Fund
• Reviewing suppliers, their product offerings and customer feedback to ensure we always offer the best for schools

• An entrepreneurial self-starter, willing to get stuck in, take responsibility and pick up the phone
• Personable, able to develop relationships quickly and a good listener
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Well organised, with good attention to detail and able to multitask
• Good IT skills: experience using Salesforce would be useful
• 2+ years experience in a Customer Success / Support role is desirable
