Customer Success Representative

BackerKit is the next-generation crowdfunding platform empowering creators to realize their biggest ideas and live their boldest creative lives.

Built for today's creative economy, BackerKit turns crowdfunding into a more repeatable, reliable source of funding directly powered by the fans you gain, keep, and grow with each campaign.

After over a decade of offering the #1 most trusted pledge management software in the market, we released BackerKit Crowdfunding in 2022, and in under two years, we've hosted some of the biggest, record-breaking campaigns and creators in crowdfunding history.

Our crowdfunding platform is now our fastest-growing product, powering the crowdfunding journey from end to end - and back again - through built-in pledge management, email marketing, and more, all in one place.

We're a founder-led, self-funded start-up with a diverse, close-knit team that prizes creativity, enthusiasm, and a willingness to learn.

If you think you fit the bill, we'd love to hear from you!
