About the Role:

As a General Manager, you will be responsible for leading the UK country team to grow the market, manage the country P&L, and hit targets for net revenue and contribution margin.

• Responsible for value propositions on both sides of the marketplace

• Directly manage the UK team that covers marketing, partnerships and tasker operations

• Champion the UK business internally and as a general manager collaborate across functions to identify and bring to life opportunities that drive UK market growth.

• Demonstrated experience managing cross-functional teams, capable of overseeing multiple people across different functions and levels of seniority

• Comfortable working heavily with data, and operating at a fast pace in an entrepreneurial environment. Experience working in a startup is a plus, especially a marketplace platform

• Excellent communication and relationship building skills, and comfortable presenting to large groups regularly

• An exceptional ability to balance creative thinking with strong business judgment and analytical skills

• Problem-solving abilities in both data-rich and data-poor environments; ability to both delve into the details and engage meaningfully on higher-level strategy

• A natural inclination to take initiative and ownership, with the ability to independently navigate ambiguous situations and balance multiple priorities

• Role includes some travel within the UK and occasional travel to the US.

Ideal (Nice to have skills)

• An understanding of the dynamics underlying a two-sided marketplace

• Experience working for a global brand
