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. You are passionate about community‑led growth and have an analytical mindset. You recognize that every social post, bug report, and feature request is 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.

• Define, track, and optimize key performance indicators for the community team, including response times, engagement rates, and community sentiment scores.
• Oversee and execute the multi‑channel engagement strategy across major platforms, including our Facebook Group, Reddit, LinkedIn, X, and native HighLevel Communities.
• Establish, document, and enforce community guidelines and moderation frameworks to maintain a helpful, objective, and solution‑oriented environment.
• Partner with Product Managers and Product Marketing to gather and relay community feedback, highlight pain points, and explain releases to customers.
• Act as the chief incident coordinator within the community during service outages, disruptions, or PR events, publishing clear, transparent, and authoritative updates.
• 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.
• Other duties as assigned by the Director of Community & Customer Experience to support evolving business and community needs.

What You’ll Bring

• Strong leadership, mentoring, and direct people‑management skills, with a track record of scaling remote teams.
• Exceptional conflict‑resolution, de‑escalation, and crisis communication skills.
• Proactive go‑getter attitude, unafraid to ask hard questions, take accountability, and make decisive calls under high‑visibility pressure.
• Deep technical aptitude and comfort with SaaS ecosystems, workflow automations, and modern marketing technologies.
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple high‑stakes priorities simultaneously in a 24/7 digital environment.
• Desire and ability to work in a fast‑paced start‑up environment where contributions directly influence product design and company brand.
• Self‑motivated and able to work independently while collaborating seamlessly across product, support, and marketing teams.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a proven ability to distill complex engineering updates into simple, clear, and reassuring community updates.

Experience/Education/Certifications Required

• 8 years of overall relevant experience with people‑management experience is a must.
