Position Overview: A Rewarding Role with Real Flexibility

The Remote Part-Time Customer Experience Advocate at arenaflex is the first point of contact for thousands of pet parents who reach out to us each day. Whether a customer is checking on the status of an important prescription refill, searching for guidance on the right nutrition for a new puppy, troubleshooting a delayed delivery, or simply wanting to share a photo of their newly adopted kitten, you will be there — patient, attentive, and ready to help.

This is a fully remote, part-time position that offers genuine scheduling flexibility, making it ideal for students, parents, caregivers, semi-retirees, freelancers, and anyone seeking meaningful work that fits around life's other commitments. You'll receive paid training, comprehensive onboarding, and continuous coaching from a leadership team that genuinely values your growth, well-being, and professional development.

If you are someone who finds joy in helping others, who lights up when solving a tricky problem, and who understands that every customer interaction is a chance to create a moment of kindness and trust, we want to meet you.

• Providing accurate product information and personalized recommendations, helping customers select the right food, treats, toys, supplements, medications, and accessories for their pet's breed, age, size, and unique health needs.
• Assisting with order-related concerns, including order status updates, shipping and delivery tracking, returns, exchanges, refunds, subscription management, and prescription verification.

• Educating customers about arenaflex's products, services, policies, autoship options, pharmacy offerings, and loyalty programs in a way that empowers them to make informed purchasing decisions.
• Collaborating with cross-functional partners — including pharmacy technicians, fulfillment teams, merchandising, and quality assurance — to escalate and resolve more complex or sensitive customer concerns.
• Meeting and exceeding key performance indicators (KPIs) such as average handle time, response time, customer satisfaction scores (CSAT), quality assurance standards, and resolution rates.
• Contributing to continuous improvement initiatives by sharing customer feedback, identifying recurring pain points, and suggesting process enhancements that elevate the overall experience.
