Review & Support Specialist

Overview

Aid Kit is revolutionizing how aid reaches those who need it most. We're on a mission to empower nonprofits and governments to deliver aid with unprecedented efficiency. We are seeking bilingual English/Ilocano Review & Support Specialists to join our remote dynamic team on a fixed-term, W2 position for a new Kamaʻāina Credit for ALICE Households program through Maui United Way. This position is hybrid in Maui County, Hawaii, with most work performed remotely but requested availability for occasional in-person outreach and other events as needed.

Aid Kit’s cutting-edge technology transforms complex cash assistance programs into streamlined, secure, and dignified experiences. By seamlessly connecting applicants to vital resources, we're making aid radically accessible for diverse populations—including unhoused and unbanked individuals. From simplifying benefits modernization projects for state agencies to standing up efficient disaster relief programs, Aid Kit helps its partners deliver aid with dignity.

We were our own first customer—Aid Kit started as a nonprofit initiative born from the need to support systematically excluded workers during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. Today, Aid Kit provides the technology backbone for some of the nation's most innovative public safety net programs, having distributed hundreds of millions of dollars to people in need.

As we continue to grow rapidly, the opportunity for impact is immense. Apply to join our team if you're seeking meaningful, flexible, and impactful work.
