• Collaborate with internal product, engineering, and operations teams to escalate complex problems, ensuring timely resolution and continuous improvement.
• Identify recurring pain points and share insights with the product team to help shape platform enhancements and new feature development.
• Maintain up‑to‑date knowledge of arenaflex’s services, industry trends, and best practices in digital manufacturing.
• Contribute to the creation and localisation of self‑service resources, such as FAQs, knowledge‑base articles, and tutorial videos, specifically for German‑language users.

Essential Qualifications

• Native or near‑native fluency in German, with excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Strong command of English to collaborate with cross‑functional teams and understand technical documentation.
• Proven ability to work independently as a freelancer, managing time effectively and meeting service‑level agreements.
• Reliable high‑speed internet connection and a personal computer that meets arenaflex’s security and performance standards.
• Exceptional problem‑solving abilities, with a keen eye for detail and a commitment to delivering accurate solutions.

Preferred Experience & Skills

• Previous experience in a customer support or help‑desk role, preferably within a SaaS, technology, or manufacturing environment.
• Familiarity with CRM platforms (e.g., Zendesk, Freshdesk, HubSpot) and ticket‑tracking workflows.
• Basic understanding of manufacturing processes, engineering terminology, or supply‑chain logistics.
• Experience using AI‑driven tools or digital marketplaces, and an enthusiasm for emerging technologies.
• Ability to write clear, concise, and user‑friendly documentation in German.

Core Competencies for Success

• Customer‑Centric Mindset: Always put the user’s needs first, striving to turn challenges into positive experiences.
• Communication Excellence: Translate complex technical concepts into plain language, ensuring clarity and confidence.
• Analytical Thinking: Quickly assess issues, identify root causes, and propose effective solutions.

• Monthly webinars on digital manufacturing, AI integration, and customer experience design.
• Mentorship sessions with senior product managers and engineering leads.
• Opportunities to transition into full‑time or higher‑responsibility roles as the company scales.
