Who You Are: HighLevel is seeking a strategically minded, execution-focused MSP Growth & Partnerships Manager to help build and validate a new go-to-market motion within the Managed Service Provider (MSP) ecosystem.
This is a hands-on, zero-to-one opportunity for someone who already knows the MSP market, has established relationships within the community, and is excited about helping HighLevel build its presence in this rapidly growing segment.
You are a builder, connector, and operator who understands how MSPs operate, monetize their customer relationships, evaluate technology, and build recurring revenue. You bring an established network of MSP relationships and are comfortable leveraging those relationships to open doors, start conversations, test market hypotheses, and accelerate HighLevel's entry into the MSP ecosystem.
You aren't looking to inherit an established MSP program or follow a completed playbook. You are excited by the opportunity to help build one.
You'll work closely with Affiliate Programs leadership to identify the right MSP profiles, develop and test HighLevel's value proposition, recruit and activate early relationships, gather market intelligence, and turn what we learn into a repeatable MSP go-to-market playbook.
At the same time, you'll learn HighLevel's highly successful affiliate ecosystem and work with the broader team to explore how affiliate-led growth can be creatively woven into a differentiated MSP strategy.
This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, high-growth environment, is comfortable making decisions with imperfect information, isn't afraid to get into the details, and sees the opportunity to help build something that could become a significant new growth engine for HighLevel.
As the MSP motion grows, this role offers the opportunity to take increasing ownership and potentially grow alongside the go-to-market strategy being built.
What You’ll Be Doing:

● Build and activate an initial pipeline of MSP relationships, leveraging your established industry network to accelerate HighLevel's entry into the MSP market.

● Identify and segment the MSP profiles most likely to succeed with HighLevel and continuously refine the ideal customer/partner profile based on real-world market feedback.

● Own the MSP relationship lifecycle from initial outreach and discovery through onboarding, activation, revenue generation, retention, and expansion.

● Conduct direct conversations with MSP owners and leaders to test positioning, uncover business needs, understand objections, and identify product, integration, enablement, or commercial gaps.

● Help develop and validate the HighLevel value proposition specifically for the MSP market.

● Partner with Affiliate Programs, Product Marketing, Enablement, Marketplace, Product, and other internal teams to develop the messaging, onboarding, enablement, and infrastructure required to support the MSP motion.

● Learn HighLevel's affiliate ecosystem and identify creative opportunities to connect affiliate-led growth strategies and economics with the traditional MSP business model.

● Help build, document, and continuously improve the MSP GTM playbook based on market feedback, experiments, wins, losses, and performance data.

● Identify ecosystem applications and integrations that materially strengthen the HighLevel value proposition for MSPs, improve adoption, or create additional revenue opportunities.

● Develop early lighthouse MSP relationships that can provide market validation, feedback, advocacy, case studies, and future expansion opportunities.

● Track MSP pipeline, activation, revenue performance, market feedback, and key learnings, providing actionable recommendations on where HighLevel should invest next.

● Operate with a test learn adjust scale mentality, moving quickly while maintaining strong communication and cross-functional alignment.

● Represent HighLevel at approximately 1–2 relevant MSP industry events per quarter, using events to build relationships, generate qualified opportunities, gather market intelligence, strengthen HighLevel's presence within the MSP community, and support development of the MSP GTM motion.

What You’ll Bring:

● An established and active network of relationships with MSP owners, executives, and business leaders, with demonstrated ability to open doors…
