@alexandrahinkel
German-native Customer Success professional transitioning from technical support to proactive retention-focused roles.
What I'm looking for
I am a German-native Customer Success and Technical Support specialist with 10+ years' experience across telecom, fintech and online platforms, primarily in remote roles. I guide customers through complex setups, reduce repeat contacts by resolving root causes, and communicate technical topics in simple, patient language.
Recently I have been formally transitioning into Customer Success through structured training (HubSpot Academy, Udemy, Gainsight Pulse) while continuing hands-on technical support work for digital home services and online platforms. I bring a calm communication style, strong organisational discipline, and a focus on improving adoption and long-term satisfaction.
I am seeking remote roles where I can grow from reactive support into proactive onboarding, education, and retention-focused Customer Success responsibilities, leveraging experience with Zendesk, Salesforce, CRM tools and remote diagnostics.
