What is Moonrise?

Moonrise is a digital platform that matches workers who need extra cash to make ends meet with companies that need to fill shifts. We are a social impact startup owned by American Family Insurance.  We were built with an ambitious goal: to innovate in a way that would help working families—many of them existing customers of The General, part of the American Family enterprise—that need a financial cushion in case of the unexpected. We traveled the country listening to financially vulnerable Americans and believe we can solve their deepest pain point - easy access to supplementary income. https://www.moonrise.works/

We’re looking for an enthusiastic and motivated individual who is passionate about helping underserved Americans living paycheck to paycheck.  In this role you will grow and support the community of our workers who we affectionately call Moonrisers. We need someone who is friendly and patient with good judgment and is able to calmly provide support and solve problems.  Our workers come from all walks of life so compassion, common sense, and a professional demeanor are crucial to this role. Eventually this role will help support the strategy to expand into other markets.

Your typical day will consist of:

• Grow the Moonriser community with a focus on economic empowerment
