If so, arenaflex invites you to join our dynamic team as a Remote Case Manager – Escalations, where you'll be at the forefront of resolving complex automotive customer issues and shaping the future of customer experience in the automotive industry.

The Case Manager – Escalations position at arenaflex is a critical role within our customer experience division. You'll be handling cases involving complex and escalated customer issues that require advanced problem-solving abilities, excellent judgment, and the capacity to manage high-stakes situations with professionalism and empathy. This is not your typical customer service role—it's a position that demands strategic thinking, technical knowledge, and the ability to craft customized solutions for each unique customer situation.
In this role, you'll serve as the final escalation point for customers who have exhausted standard resolution pathways. Your mission will be to listen actively, understand deeply, and resolve comprehensively—ensuring that every customer feels heard, valued, and satisfied with the outcome. You'll be working with customers whose issues span the entire automotive ownership lifecycle, from sales experiences to service concerns, warranty disputes to lemon law matters.

- Complex Case Resolution: Handle cases involving complex and escalated customer issues with precision and care. You'll resolve escalated cases where expectations are clearly expressed to customers, customer follow-up times and dates are agreed upon in advance, and compensation for poor customer experiences is relative to the impact on each customer's background and needs.
- Dealer and Internal Interface: Interface professionally with car dealers, customers, and other internal business partners to facilitate the diagnosis and repair of vehicle concerns that have been subject to multiple and/or lengthy repair attempts. You'll serve as the bridge between all parties, ensuring clear communication and coordinated action.

- Sales Experience Complaints: Resolve sales experience complaints including poor showroom or F&I (Finance & Insurance) interactions, lease-end issues, delivery condition of sold vehicles, and provide education and guidance to customers on sales and finance inquiries.
- Service Experience Complaints: Handle service experience complaints including warranty eligibility disputes, issues involving normal vehicle operation, cost of repairs, product liability claims, back-ordered parts, loaner car arrangements, and appointment reservation concerns.
- Legal Support: Analyze the merits of lemon law claims, support business partners arbitrating such claims, and negotiate settlement terms that protect both the customer and the organization.
- Executive Inquiries: Provide expedited handling of customer inquiries received by executives, demonstrating the highest priority and attention to detail.
- Documentation: Maintain meticulous case files, provide succinct memos detailing all interactions, and ensure proper attachment of relevant documentation to each case record.
