You will personally engage with customers when situations require management-level involvement, helping restore confidence, navigate ambiguity, and coordinate the right people across HighLevel to solve the problem.Beyond individual resolution, you will use th learnings to identify recurring customer friction, uncover systemic issues, and drive meaningful improvements across the broader customer journey.This is not a traditional support management role. You will move between direct customer conversations, people leadership, operational problem solving, and cross-functional influence. Success requires exceptional communication, strong business judgment, comfort with ambiguity, and a willingness to take ownership before every answer is known.

You will work across Frontline Support, Escalations, Premium Support, Customer Success, Product, Engineering, Billing, RevOps, and other functions to identify and address customer friction wherever it occurs. * Translate customer insights into actionable recommendations and operational improvements. * Partner across Support, Customer Success, Product, Engineering, Billing, RevOps, and other functions to solve complex customer problems and improve cross-functional experiences. * Influence cross-functional teams to address recurring customer friction, clarify ownership, improve broken handoffs, and implement changes that reduce repeat escalations. * Lead targeted initiatives that address recurring customer friction and measure whether changes meaningfully improve customer outcomes. * Use data, automation, tooling, and process improvements to increase the effectiveness and scalability of Customer Advocacy.

What Success Looks Like Customer Advocacy becomes a trusted destination for HighLevel's most complex customer situations. Customers receive fast, confident ownership and direct human engagement, while leaders can trust the team to independently coordinate difficult situations across the organization.Beyond resolving individual escalations, you will ensure that what we learn from them leads to measurable improvements in processes, ownership, tooling, and the broader customer journey.Success is measured not only by how effectively we resolve escalations, but by how effectively we prevent the same customer problems from happening again.
