At arenaflex we are redefining how millions of customers receive support across the ever‑changing landscape of social media. Our mission is to deliver fast, secure, and delightful experiences no matter which platform a customer chooses to reach out on. We blend cutting‑edge technology with a deep commitment to privacy, safety, and inclusive service. By joining our team, you become part of a global powerhouse that values innovation, curiosity, and the diverse perspectives of every employee.
About the Role
We are seeking a seasoned leader to own the end‑to‑end program strategy for our Customer Service – Social Media organization. As a Senior Program Manager, you will drive the roadmap for both internal tooling (first‑party) and third‑party solutions that enable our agents to respond to customer inquiries faster and more accurately. This position sits within the Tools and Systems team, a hub that aligns technology, processes, and people to create seamless support experiences worldwide.
Key Responsibilities
- Program Lifecycle Management: Lead a complex, cross‑functional program that influences social media support operations across dozens of markets and languages.
- Strategic Road‑Mapping: Define, prioritize, and communicate a multi‑year roadmap that balances tooling enhancements, automation opportunities, and direct customer impact initiatives.
- Business Justification & Metrics: Build robust business cases using data‑driven insights, cost‑benefit analyses, and ROI models to secure executive sponsorship.
- Stakeholder Alignment: Facilitate mindful, data‑focused discussions across product, engineering, legal, compliance, and frontline support teams to make crisp, timely decisions.
- Leadership Communication: Present program status, risks, and outcomes to senior leadership, senior executives, and key external partners.
- Risk & Issue Management: Anticipate ambiguities, proactively mitigate risks, and remove blockers before they become roadblocks.
- Process Optimization: Identify, streamline, or eliminate inefficient processes through automation, AI, or workflow redesign.
- Mentorship & Talent Development: Share best practices, coach junior program managers, and help grow a high‑performing, diverse program management community.
- Continuous Improvement: Champion a culture of experimentation, measurement, and iteration to steadily elevate the customer experience.
A Day in the Life
Every day you’ll find yourself at the nexus of technology, people, and customers. You’ll start by reviewing program metrics – average response time, resolution rates, and automation adoption – and then meet with engineering leads to evaluate the latest tooling prototype. Mid‑day might involve a cross‑functional scrum where you champion the most impactful feature and negotiate trade‑offs. In the afternoon you’ll synthesize feedback from frontline agents, translate it into actionable requirements, and draft a brief for the upcoming leadership review. By day’s end you’ll have nudged the program forward, cleared a critical dependency, and celebrated a milestone with your team.
