Why This Role Is a Unique Opportunity

We are launching the first dedicated support function for our brand‑new course platform, and you will be the inaugural full‑time Customer Support Representative. This is not a peripheral role – you will work directly with the founder, receive hands‑on mentorship, and help define the support processes that will scale as the company grows. If you thrive in a startup environment, love learning new technologies, and enjoy helping people succeed, this position offers a rare blend of responsibility, visibility, and career‑building potential.

Key Responsibilities

• Product Mastery: Quickly become an expert on the arenaflex learning platform by exploring every feature, testing workflows, and documenting your findings.
• Customer Interaction: Respond to inbound support tickets, live chat messages, and email inquiries with clear, friendly, and solution‑focused communication in native‑level English.
• Documentation Development: Write, edit, and maintain a comprehensive Help Center that empowers users to resolve common issues on their own.
• Issue Identification & Reporting: Conduct systematic testing of the platform, reproduce bugs, and submit detailed reports to the development team, ensuring a rapid feedback loop.
• Knowledge Sharing: Create internal FAQs, troubleshooting guides, and training materials for future support staff as the team expands.
• Continuous Improvement: Provide actionable insights on recurring pain points, suggest product enhancements, and help shape the overall customer experience strategy.

Essential Qualifications

• Fluent, native‑like English: Exceptional written communication skills are mandatory, as you will be crafting responses, documentation, and instructional content for a global audience.
• Technical Curiosity: Prior exposure to SaaS products, web‑hosting services, or online learning platforms is highly desirable.
• Basic DNS Knowledge: Understanding of DNS concepts, especially CNAME and CAA records, is a strong plus. Ability to explain DNS setup to non‑technical users will set you apart.
• Self‑Motivation & Discipline: Ability to work independently in a remote setting, manage your own schedule, and meet deadlines without constant supervision.
• Problem‑Solving Mindset: Comfort with troubleshooting, reproducing issues, and thinking creatively to find work‑arounds.

Preferred Experience & Skills

• Hands‑on experience with learning management systems (LMS) or course authoring tools.
• Familiarity with web hosting control panels, SSL/TLS configuration, and basic server administration.
• Experience writing technical documentation, knowledge‑base articles, or user guides.
• Exposure to ticketing systems (e.g., Zendesk, Freshdesk) and CRM platforms.
• Ability to quickly learn new software interfaces and adopt emerging best practices.

Compensation, Benefits & Working Conditions

• Competitive Salary: $300 USD per month, with room for negotiation based on experience and demonstrated expertise.
• Full‑Time Freelance Arrangement: This is a dedicated, full‑time role; part‑time arrangements are not available.
• Payment Flexibility: Compensation can be delivered via direct wire transfer (for freelancers with a registered company) or through Upwork Direct Contracts.
• Remote‑First Culture: Work from any location you choose. Your timezone is respected, and you are not required to align with the European CET schedule.
• Flexible Hours: An 8‑hour workday with a schedule that fits your personal rhythm, provided you are available during the majority of your local morning and afternoon.
• Seasonal Availability: Mandatory coverage from 22 December to the first week of January, and from mid‑July to mid‑August. Outside of these windows, you enjoy up to 20 days of paid leave per year.
• Professional Growth: Direct mentorship from the founder, exposure to product development cycles, and the chance to influence core support processes.
• Learning Resources: Access to internal training modules, industry webinars, and a budget for relevant certifications (e.g., ITIL, Customer Service Excellence).
