ABOUT RELENTLESS

Relentless is an organizing company focused on unlocking political power through relational organizing. Relational organizing is the simple, proven concept that people talking to their friends and family is more effective than strangers talking to strangers. Our flagship product, Rally, is a social graph, power-mapping tool, and program management platform that makes running scaled relational programs simple. Our in-house program team brings their deep experience to supercharge the programs that run on Rally and mobilize communities at scale to have meaningful conversations, get out the vote, and so much more.

ABOUT THE ROLE

This cycle, we’re running Rally Organizing programs that compensate tens of thousands of low-turnout voters for their time as they learn about upcoming elections and mobilize and persuade their friends and family to vote. 

If virtual events are the heart of our program, the inbox is the brain. Our inbox is where participants go to celebrate successes, ask specific questions, and troubleshoot technical issues. We are often meeting participants at a vulnerable moment of frustration, and it is up to our inbox team to turn it into a positive experience for each person who interacts with a member of our team.

The Inbox Manager is the senior manager on duty for our program inbox; in the world of inbox, the buck stops with them! They also oversee our part-time program organizers (POs) during their inbox shifts – handling questions, escalations, and issues, while empowering each PO with the knowledge and support they need to problem solve effectively.

The Inbox Coordinator lives and breathes inbox support, and acts as the first level of support for program organizers (POs) during their inbox shifts – answering the questions they can, escalating those they can’t, and keeping the Inbox Manager informed of both how the inbox capacity is going and how POs are doing in the inbox. 

Our program organizers will come from a wide range of work backgrounds and experience levels, and you should be genuinely excited by that — energized by meeting each one where they are and making sure everyone has what they need to succeed.

While the Inbox Manager will lead, the Inbox Coordinator will support the team as together you lead check-in calls with POs for their inbox shifts, provide targeted feedback on PO responses, and make sure we are at inbox 0 by the end of each work day. The Inbox Team will own complex and escalated tickets, loop in senior members of staff when necessary, and coordinate with multiple departments to answer participants' questions in a timely and efficient manner. The Inbox Manager makes the game plan, and the Inbox Coordinator helps to execute. 

If you’re energized by solving complex participant inquiries with kindness and efficiency and love empowering a team to do the same, this team is built for you.

• Handle the most sensitive and complex participant issues – looping in senior staff, coordinating across departments, and documenting any edge cases.

• Inbox Manager: In collaboration with the Content Logistics Manager and Events Manager, you’ll ensure that our robust FAQs and Knowledge Base is updated throughout the program so that our POs have everything they need to answer questions in the inbox.
• Inbox Manager: Directly manage the Inbox Coordinator, providing direction and feedback as they support and coach PO’s in the inbox each day.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate our event scripting voice into text and email messages in the inbox, ensuring a unified and friendly program experience from top to bottom.
• You stay cool under pressure, have patience for a variety of communication styles, and are eager to meet participants and part-time staff where they’re at each day.
• You’re a problem solver – you enjoy thinking through complex and niche participant issues to effectively and efficiently solve them, and are able to coach others to do the same.
• Comfort and energy in fast-paced, scaling environments where priorities shift and you adapt with the team, ready and excited to jump in wherever needed to ensure inbox 0 at the end of each work day.
• Access to a computer and reliable internet.
