GHL Manager
Somewhere
🇿🇦 Hirezar Summary for South African Applicants
This fully remote full time position at Somewhere is open to applicants from South Africa. This role is suited for mid-level professionals. As a remote position, you can work from anywhere in South Africa — whether you're based in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, or a smaller town.
Job Description
We are seeking a GHL & Marketing Automation Specialist to own the architecture, build, and ongoing operation of our GoHighLevel implementation. This is a high-autonomy, systems-first role. You will not be handed tasks — you will own the platform, proactively identify gaps, build the automations that move leads through our pipelines, and ensure the GHL environment serves the origination team, the business development team, and leadership without friction.
This role reports to the Operations Manager and works in close day-to-day coordination with the Growth & Digital Manager (paid media, SEO strategy, and overall digital performance) and the Graphic Designer (brand assets and creative templates). You are the technical layer that connects the marketing team’s strategy to execution — the Growth & Digital Manager drives traffic; the GHL Specialist ensures the system captures, qualifies, nurtures, and reports on every lead that traffic generates.
While your core function is GHL architecture and automation, you will also provide supporting capability in two adjacent areas when needed: paid media campaign execution (assisting during peak periods or campaigns) and quick-turn design execution (simple asset updates, template implementation, and minor visual fixes alongside the Graphic Designer to avoid bottlenecks on time-sensitive requests). These are not primary responsibilities — they are supporting skills that make you a more valuable member of a lean, high-output team.
You also serve as the internal GHL subject matter expert — training the broader team, building the reference documentation, and driving adoption across origination, underwriting, and business development.

Tips for South African Applicants
Timezone Advantage
South Africa (SAST, UTC+2) overlaps well with European business hours and has a few hours of overlap with US East Coast. Mention your timezone flexibility in your application.
Salary in Context
Even without a listed salary, international remote roles typically pay 2-3x more than equivalent local positions in South Africa due to the exchange rate advantage.
Application Tips
Tailor your CV to international standards — use a clean format, highlight remote work experience, and include your English proficiency. Many SA applicants succeed by emphasising their strong work ethic and cultural adaptability.
Load Shedding Preparedness
If you're applying for a remote role, having a backup power solution (UPS, inverter, or generator) and mobile data as a backup internet connection shows employers you're prepared for South Africa's infrastructure challenges.
