We are currently expanding our customer support division to staff an exciting new account with a fast-growing, technology-driven water filtration company headquartered in Los Angeles, California. This client designs, manufactures, and distributes advanced physical water filtering products that are transforming the way households and businesses access clean, great-tasting water. As a result of continued growth, we are seeking a dedicated Customer Experience (CX) Specialist to join our distributed team and provide best-in-class support across email, live chat, and phone channels.

Position Summary

In this role, you will be the first point of contact for customers reaching out via email, live chat, and phone. You will handle a diverse set of inquiries including order status updates, product-related questions, technical troubleshooting, and escalation requests. Your primary platform will be Zendesk, where you will manage tickets, document customer interactions, and route complex issues to the appropriate internal teams.

Because arenaflex serves multiple clients, you may also be asked to assist with additional aligned accounts as volume permits. This cross-functional exposure offers a unique opportunity to broaden your customer service experience across different industries, products, and customer personas.

• Troubleshooting & Technical Guidance: Walk customers through diagnostic steps for common product issues, determine when replacement parts or returns are required, and document findings clearly.
• Escalation Handling: Identify complex or sensitive issues and escalate them promptly to senior agents, team leads, or client stakeholders, ensuring proper context and documentation are provided.
• Cross-Departmental Communication: Act as a bridge between customers and internal departments (such as fulfillment, engineering, billing, and quality assurance) to relay information accurately and resolve issues efficiently.
• Reporting & Documentation: Complete auxiliary non-customer-facing tasks, including daily and weekly reporting, knowledge base contributions, FAQ updates, and internal documentation.
• Quality Assurance: Adhere to service level agreements (SLAs), quality standards, and compliance protocols, consistently meeting or exceeding performance KPIs.
• Cross-Account Support: As scheduling and volume permit, lend support to additional arenaflex client accounts that share similar workflows or platforms.
