As a Customer Retention Specialist, you're going to be customer-obsessed, proactively outreaching to customers at risk, and driven by results. You naturally spot risks before they turn into churn and take ownership of customer outcomes. You’re comfortable initiating meaningful conversations, handling objections with confidence, and turning at-risk customers into loyal advocates.

You bring a consultative mindset to every interaction — listening first, diagnosing the real issue, and guiding customers toward solutions that reinforce the value of staying with HighLevel. Data signals like HealthScore drops, payment failures, cancellation intent, low product usage, and reactivation opportunities don’t intimidate you; they energize you.

You thrive in fast-paced environments, communicate with clarity and empathy, and are motivated by measurable impact on retention, engagement, and revenue.

      • Customer Experience & Documentation

        • Deliver personalized, positive support aligned with the company brand.

        • Accurately log all interactions and update CRM records in GHL.

    Reliable high-speed internet and a distraction-free workspace
