Who you are: 

As the HighLevel Community Team Manager, you are responsible for scaling, organizing, and safeguarding our highly active, entrepreneurial user community. You understand that this community is a critical driver of HighLevel's growth and success, and you approach community moderation and engagement with strategic foresight, technical curiosity, and strong empathy. You are comfortable troubleshooting technical issues, managing high-tension public discussions calmly, and leading a high-performing team of global Community Specialists in a fast-paced environment.

Your passion for community-led growth is matched by your analytical mindset. You recognize that every social post, bug report, and feature request represents an opportunity to improve the product and deepen customer loyalty. You are an exceptional communicator, a natural bridge-builder between users and product engineering, and a calm leader who can coordinate crisis communication under pressure without breaking character or sounding corporate.

• Develop and manage customer advocacy initiatives, top-contributor programs, and gamification strategies to reward active agency owners and power users.

• Collect and report weekly and monthly qualitative and quantitative community health metrics to Leadership.
