About Crowdfunder
At Crowdfunder, we're on a mission to tackle society's biggest challenges by making ideas happen. We believe that the most transformative ideas often come from within the community. As the UK's leading crowdfunding platform for community causes, we've helped raise over £450 million for 100,000+ projects, supporting a community of 3.5+ million people united for good.
We're not just about raising funds, we're about nurturing grassroots innovation to create meaningful societal change. From sports clubs and charities to social enterprises and community groups, we help turn ideas into reality through the power of collective action.
The Role
Reporting to the Head of Customer Experience, you will be the first point of contact for a wide range of people who use and support the Crowdfunder platform. You will manage inbound queries from project owners, charity partners, and the general public – directing, resolving, and escalating as appropriate. You will support project queries, carry out due diligence checks, flag technical issues, and provide admin support across onboarding and funding applications.
This is a role that demands curiosity, common sense, and a genuine desire to help people. No two days are the same, and the ability to think on your feet, do your own research, and adapt quickly is just as valuable as any prior experience. You will be joining a small, motivated team where your contribution will be visible and your growth actively supported.
Key Responsibilities
* Providing outstanding written customer support that reflects Crowdfunder's values
* Managing inbound emails and messages from a variety of stakeholders, directing queries appropriately and escalating where needed
* Assisting with financial verification advice, managing payment queries, and responding to finance‑related queries
* Carrying out due diligence checks and flagging concerns to the relevant teams
* Identifying and reporting technical issues and bugs
* Supporting product and feature development by providing structured feedback
* Managing admin for onboarding and project changes
* Building positive, trust‑based relationships with project owners and other stakeholders
* Proactively spotting opportunities to improve processes and customer outcomes
* Staying curious – independently researching topics, products, and regulations as they arise

* Honest and detail‑oriented – able to spot things that don't feel right and elevate appropriately
* Excited about the potential of AI to improve how we support customers
* Genuinely motivated by working for an organisation that makes a positive difference
You are comfortable with:

Inclusion and diversity
Crowdfunder is tackling society's challenges, by making ideas happen. We connect projects that matter to people and companies who care.
We’re here to support diverse communities and to provide a platform for those who want to be heard; amplifying voices and impact is what we do.
We value the fact that each one of us is different, with different perspectives – and we want to reflect the diversity of the crowd we serve.
We recognise that we don’t all start from the same place – because advantages and barriers exist – but through Crowdfunder and crowdfunding, we believe we can offer greater equality of opportunity.
We’re creating an inclusive workplace culture, based on fairness, respect and honesty, because we believe leveraging differences achieves better results and better serves our crowd, our partners and our communities.
As part of that, we’re committed to educating ourselves, and each other, on gender, race, faith, disability, age, sexual orientation and other areas of diversity to ensure everyone is welcome and feels valued in our workplace as well as in our wider Crowdfunder community.
We recognise that ‘diversity and inclusion’ is not something that we will ever ‘achieve’. It’s not a box that can ever be ticked as ‘100% done’.
Diversity and inclusion is an ongoing journey of big steps and small nudges that will create a richer community and place to work and help us be a better business.
We’re proud to be on that journey together.
