Our culture is powered by empathy, innovation, and a shared mission to empower organizations making a difference.

If you’re passionate about using your skills to drive real impact and want to thrive in a collaborative, fully remote environment, Neon One is the place for you.

About the Role

Neon One is seeking a Customer Support Specialist for our Arts People platform. Arts People is a specialized, all-in-one ticketing, box office, and fundraising solution dedicated to empowering performing arts organizations. In this role, you will be the ultimate ally for creative nonprofits, helping them navigate everything from high-volume opening night ticket sales to complex patron database management. As part of our collaborative ecosystem, you will also be cross-trained to support other Neon One products.

We are seeking a self-motivated, puzzle-loving problem solver who thrives at the intersection of technology and the arts. As a Customer Support Specialist, you will deliver top-tier support through tickets, live chat, and phone support, ensuring our clients can focus on their initiatives, not troubleshooting software. This role is ideal for someone who loves deep technical troubleshooting, embraces a continuous learning mindset, and isn't afraid to ask questions to solve a complex issue. Above all, you must be passionate about delivering empathetic, best-in-class service to the nonprofit community.

At Neon One, we believe in the power of technology to amplify human impact. We are committed to intentionally leveraging AI to automate the routine, so our team can focus on what matters most: building personal connections and delivering extraordinary value to the nonprofit community. We don’t just use AI; we use it to be more human. We expect every team member—regardless of role—to embrace an 'innovator’s mindset,' exploring how emerging technologies can help us work smarter and serve our mission faster.
