Founding Customer Success Specialist – Remote, Full-Time Opportunity with arenaflex (Online Course Platform)
About arenaflex
arenaflex is an ambitious, fast-growing technology company on a mission to democratize knowledge sharing through intuitive digital learning experiences. Our flagship product is a modern, cloud-based online course platform that empowers creators, educators, coaches, and entrepreneurs to launch, market, and scale their own branded e-learning businesses without needing to write a single line of code. From solopreneurs crafting their first mini-course to established training organizations delivering certification programs to thousands of learners worldwide, our platform provides the tools needed to design multimedia lessons, build engaging communities, process payments securely, and analyze student progress in real time.
As a young company at the forefront of the creator economy, arenaflex operates with the agility of a startup and the ambition of a category leader. We believe in a future where anyone with valuable expertise can build a sustainable, scalable business teaching what they know. Joining arenaflex at this stage means becoming a foundational team member whose work will directly shape the trajectory of a product used by creators in dozens of countries.
The Opportunity
We are looking for our Founding Customer Success Specialist — the very first full-time customer support professional at arenaflex. This is a rare opportunity to be trained directly by the founder, to build customer support processes from the ground up, and to grow into a long-term leadership role as our user base scales. You will be the voice of arenaflex for thousands of creators who depend on our platform to deliver their courses and earn their livelihoods.
While the platform is new and daily request volume is currently manageable, we expect significant growth over the coming months. This makes the present moment ideal: you will have time to thoroughly learn the product, contribute meaningfully to our help documentation, test features, and shape how customer support is delivered for years to come. If you are looking for a role where you can make a tangible impact, develop a deep understanding of SaaS products, and grow with a company rather than just work for one, this is your chance.
Key Responsibilities
As the Founding Customer Success Specialist at arenaflex, your day-to-day work will be varied, engaging, and deeply connected to the customer experience. Your primary responsibilities will include:
- Customer Communication: Respond to incoming support requests from course creators, students, and prospective customers through email, chat, and ticketing systems. Represent arenaflex with empathy, professionalism, and clear, helpful written English.
- Product Mastery: Learn every feature, integration, and workflow of the arenaflex platform inside and out. Become the internal expert that the rest of the team and our customers can rely on for accurate answers.
- Help Center Documentation: Write, edit, and maintain articles in the arenaflex knowledge base. Create step-by-step guides, troubleshooting articles, video walkthrough scripts, and FAQ entries that empower users to self-serve answers.
- Quality Assurance & Bug Reporting: Test new features, updates, and integrations thoroughly. Document bugs, edge cases, and usability issues clearly so that the engineering team can resolve them quickly.
- Customer Feedback Loop: Surface recurring themes, feature requests, and pain points to the founder and product team. Your insights will directly influence product roadmap decisions.
- Onboarding Support: Help new course creators get set up successfully, from domain configuration to launching their first course.
- Process Building: Help design support macros, response templates, tagging systems, and workflows that will scale as the team grows.
Essential Qualifications & Skills
To thrive as the founding member of our customer support team at arenaflex, you will need a specific combination of skills and mindset:
- Native-Level English Proficiency: You must write fluent, polished, native-like English. Every customer interaction and every help center article will be read by English-speaking creators around the world, and our brand depends on clear, warm, professional communication.
- Software Product Familiarity: Hands-on experience using modern software-as-a-service (SaaS) products is essential. Prior experience with web hosting services, website builders, or — ideally — online course platforms like Thinkific, Teachable, Kajabi, Podia, or similar will set you apart.
- Basic DNS Knowledge: A working understanding of how the Domain Name System works is a major plus. You should be comfortable explaining what a CNAME record does, when to use a CAA record, and how to point a custom domain to a web application. You do not need to be a network engineer, but you should be able to confidently guide a customer through updating their DNS settings.
- Self-Directed Work Ethic: As a fully remote founding team member, you must be proactive, organized, and able to manage your own time without constant oversight.
- Curiosity and Learning Agility: The platform will evolve rapidly. You should enjoy learning new tools and teaching others how to use them.
Preferred Qualifications
- Previous experience in customer support, technical support, or a customer-facing role at a SaaS company.
- Familiarity with help desk tools such as Intercom, Zendesk, Freshdesk, or Help Scout.
- Experience writing help documentation, tutorials, or knowledge base articles.
- Exposure to basic HTML, CSS, or web development workflows.
- Understanding of e-commerce, digital payments, or subscription billing systems.
- Multilingual abilities (a plus, though English is the primary working language).
What You Will Learn & How You Will Grow at arenaflex
Joining arenaflex at this early stage is more than a job — it is a career-defining learning experience. You will receive direct mentorship from the founder and gain exposure to every aspect of running a SaaS business, including:
- Deep product knowledge of an end-to-end online course platform.
- Hands-on experience with DNS, domain configuration, and web infrastructure.
- Documentation best practices and content design for software products.
- Customer success methodologies and the principles of delightful support.
- Insight into product development cycles, bug triage, and quality assurance workflows.
- A clear path to grow into a team lead, support manager, or customer operations lead role as arenaflex scales.
Many of the most successful professionals in the SaaS world started as the first customer support hire at a growing company. This is your invitation to write that same story with us.
Compensation & Perks
- Monthly Compensation: USD 300 per month, starting rate, with the understanding that compensation is negotiable based on experience, skills, and the value you bring to the founding team.
- Engagement Type: Full-time freelance contract. This is a full-time position and cannot be taken on a part-time basis.
- Payment Methods: Paid via direct wire transfer if you operate through a freelancer company, or via Upwork Direct Contracts for individual contractors.
- Fully Remote: Work from anywhere in the world with a reliable internet connection. No commuting, no office politics — just meaningful work delivered from wherever you thrive.
- Time Zone Freedom: You will work in your own local time zone. You do not need to align with European CET hours.
- Flexible Schedule: 8 hours per day, with flexibility in how you structure your day. The only requirement is that the majority of your working hours fall within the morning and afternoon of your local time zone.
- Paid Time Off: 20 days of paid leave per year, plus designated company periods when you are expected to be available: from December 22nd through the first week of January, and from mid-July to mid-August.
- Founding Team Perks: As a foundational team member, you will be recognized as such in our company history, have direct access to leadership, and play a meaningful role in shaping the customer experience that defines arenaflex.
The arenaflex Work Environment & Culture
At arenaflex, we believe great work happens when talented people are trusted, respected, and given room to do their best thinking. Our culture is built on:
- Remote-First Thinking: We hire the best people regardless of geography, and we trust them to deliver without micromanagement.
- Direct Communication: No layers, no politics. You will work directly with the founder and have a real voice in how things are done.
- Continuous Improvement: We are a learning organization. Mistakes are treated as data, and every team member is encouraged to experiment, suggest improvements, and challenge the status quo.
- Customer Obsession: Every decision we make is filtered through the question: does this help our creators succeed? You will be on the front lines of that mission.
- Work-Life Balance: We are a results-oriented team. We care about outcomes, not hours logged, and we respect your time off.
