As a Nelnet company, the perks at NBS go beyond our benefits package. You're part of a community, invested in you as an individual and united by our mission to create opportunities for people where they live, learn and work.

Next Gen Web Solutions is a small SaaS company serving the higher education market, recently acquired by Nelnet. We build products used by hundreds of institutions - scholarship management, online forms and workflow, FAFSA verification, and more.

We are expanding our customer support team and hiring two Customer Support Representatives to serve as the front line of service for our clients. You will provide hands-on support, conduct ongoing training, and serve as a bridge between clients and our product team - ensuring customers get the most out of our software and that their feedback shapes future development.

  • Perform software-related issue research, troubleshooting, and timely follow-up

You are patient, organized, and genuinely enjoy helping people solve problems. You don't just close tickets - you make sure the client actually understands the solution.
