Role Overview
HighLevel is a powerful platform containing hundreds of interconnected capabilities across CRM, marketing, communications, automation, commerce, websites, calendars, reporting, and AI. That breadth creates enormous value - but it also introduces complexity. Users should not need to know which menu contains a capability, how every object in HighLevel is modelled, or which sequence of screens is required to complete a business task. They should be able to describe what they want to accomplish, receive an accurate answer, and safely complete the work.
Ask AI is the natural-language operating layer designed to make that possible. It allows agencies and businesses to ask questions, understand customer and operational data, generate content and assets, create product configurations, invoke specialised agents, execute supported actions, automate recurring work, and interact with HighLevel through text, voice, structured artefacts, and guided workflows.
For Ask AI to be dependable, it needs accurate and current context. HighLevel Knowledge Bases provide the shared intelligence foundation for Ask AI and the broader AI Employee ecosystem. They ingest and organise information from websites, FAQs, rich text, documents, tables, cloud files, and other approved sources so AI products can retrieve relevant information and produce grounded responses.
We are hiring a Principal Product Manager to own the long-term product strategy for this intelligence and assistance platform. This person will define the architecture, product principles, quality systems, developer model, governance, metrics, and commercial strategy required to make Ask AI the default way users understand and operate HighLevel.
This is not a generic chatbot, enterprise-search, or content-generation role. It is a senior individual-contributor product leadership role at the intersection of AI assistants, enterprise knowledge, retrieval systems, agent orchestration, workflow execution, CRM data, permissions, automation, developer platforms, and multi-tenant SaaS. You will influence multiple product and engineering teams, establish shared platform standards, and make foundational decisions that affect every AI product across HighLevel.
Key Responsibilities
● Define and drive the long-term product vision, strategy, roadmap, and platform architecture for HighLevel Knowledge Bases and Ask AI.
● Own the complete Ask AI experience, including chat, voice interaction, conversation history, memory, templates, artefacts, scheduled tasks, tools, actions, agent routing, browser interaction, feedback, permissions, approvals, auditability, usage, and lifecycle management.
● Own the Knowledge Base platform across source ingestion, extraction, parsing, chunking, embeddings, indexing, metadata, retrieval, re-ranking, citations, freshness, versioning, testing, permissions, and observability.
● Establish the product principles that determine how Ask AI answers questions, requests more information, retrieves knowledge, generates a plan, selects a tool, invokes an agent, asks for approval, executes an action, handles failure, and communicates results.
● Create a shared context model spanning user identity, agency, location, role, permissions, current interface, business profile, Brand Voice, memory, Knowledge Bases, CRM data, product configuration, and previous tool outputs.
● Develop a deep understanding of agency owners, marketers, sales teams, customer-service teams, operations leaders, administrators, and SMB employees who use HighLevel to perform daily work.
● Personally inspect Ask AI conversations, tool traces, Knowledge Base retrieval results, user feedback, support tickets, source-ingestion failures, incorrect answers, failed actions, and downstream customer outcomes.
● Partner closely with AI and engineering leadership on LLM orchestration, model routing, context management, prompt systems, tool invocation, agent planning, memory, retrieval-augmented generation, embeddings, hybrid search, re-ranking, caching, latency, evaluation, observability, and cost.
● Partner with platform and infrastructure teams on ingestion pipelines, crawlers, document processing, vector storage, structured-data retrieval, indexing, refresh jobs, multi-tenant isolation, scalability, reliability, and data retention.
● Define an evaluation architecture covering Ask AI responses, Knowledge Base retrieval, memory usage, tool selection, action accuracy, permissions, artefacts, latency, and cost.
● Build representative test datasets from real agency and SMB use cases across industries, account types, languages, data structures, and product workflows.
● Partner with HighLevel product teams to expose their capabilities safely through Ask AI using shared action, permission, approval, error, and result contracts.
● Establish a scalable onboarding model for product teams that want to contribute Ask AI actions, templates, skills, artefacts, or specialised agents.
● Advance integration between Ask AI and Agent Studio so custom agents can be discovered, selected, invoked, monitored, and improved from a unified Ask AI experience.
● Define the platform model for MCP tools, native product actions, external APIs, web search, browser execution, Knowledge Base retrieval, and other agent capabilities.
● Build robust observability and debugging experiences that show selected context, retrieved sources, model outputs, plans, tools, inputs, permissions, approvals, action results, errors, latency, and usage.
● Improve Knowledge Base quality-management workflows, including retrieval testing, source inspection, stale-content detection, crawl diagnostics, document-processing errors, conflict detection, and customer-facing recommendations.
● Define the architecture for reusable, inherited, bundled, and marketplace-distributed Knowledge Bases across agencies and locations.
● Partner with Design to simplify Knowledge Base creation, source addition, testing, maintenance, agent attachment, Ask AI onboarding, template discovery, approval flows, artefact interaction, and error recovery.
● Develop a coherent experience across Ask AI templates, open-ended prompting, guided questions, native skills, specialised agents, and scheduled tasks.
● Define instrumentation across the full funnel, including Ask AI discovery, first prompt, first useful response, first successful action, repeat usage, template completion, scheduled-task retention, Knowledge Base creation, source ingestion, retrieval tests, agent attachment, and sustained production usage.
● Define quality and outcome metrics by request type rather than treating every Ask AI interaction as equivalent.
● Partner with Security, Legal, Privacy, and Trust teams on data isolation, access control, memory, browser automation, sensitive data, source permissions, content retention, external-model processing, audit logs, and abuse prevention.
● Establish standards for destructive actions, bulk changes, financial operations, external communication, and compliance-sensitive workflows.
● Partner with Product Marketing on positioning, use-case packaging, customer education, competitive differentiation, launches, templates, and agency enablement.
● Partner with Support, Implementation, Trial Experience, Account Management, Affiliates, and internal operations teams to reduce setup friction, improve outcomes, and lower support burden.
● Partner with Finance and Revenue Experience on packaging, pay-per-use pricing, AI Employee plans, agency rebilling, cost controls, gross margin, and commercial limits.
● Develop a clear competitive understanding of AI copilots, enterprise search, AI workspaces, CRM assistants, agent platforms, browser agents, knowledge-management products, and workflow-automation tools.
● Evaluate external model providers, search and retrieval technologies, document-processing systems, vector databases, re-ranking systems, browser technologies, and strategic partnerships.
● Influence strategy across Conversation AI, Voice AI, Agent Studio, Workflow AI, CRM, automation, communications, commerce, and the broader HighLevel platform.
● Act as a senior product thought partner to Product, Engineering, Design, Data, Security, GTM, Finance, and executive leadership.
● Mentor PMs and raise the quality of AI product strategy, platform thinking, evaluation, and decision-making across the organisation without relying on formal authority.
