General Manager (Founding CEO) — Insurance Leads Marketplace (Confidential)

Build the #1 insurance leads marketplace inside a category leader. We’re a U.S. lead-generation powerhouse (#1 by volume) launching several new verticals — and Insurance is one of them. We’re hiring the operator-founder who will take this business from 0→1→N, own the P&L, and turn speed into durable market share.

• Transform a proven playbook into the go-to source of high-intent insurance leads across Auto, Home, Life, and Health/Medicare.

• Orchestrate the liquidity flywheel: attract consumers with real intent, onboard top agencies/carriers, and optimize pricing & routing.

• Convert growth into strong unit economics (LTV/CAC), best-in-class QA & compliance, and trusted CX in a regulated category.

• Build and lead a small, elite team to scale fast without breaking quality or consent.

• Full P&L for the Insurance vertical; quarterly planning, forecasting, and disciplined budget management.

• GTM: ICPs (consumers, agencies, brokers), positioning by line of business, geo rollout, and channel mix (search, affiliates, partnerships, paid social).

• Supply & demand liquidity: recruiting, onboarding, and enabling licensed agencies/brokers; churn prevention; incentive design.

• Lead quality & routing: consent capture and verification, lead scoring, geo/line matching, real-time dispatch (<30s), refunds/disputes policy.

• Compliance & privacy: implement one-to-one TCPA consent, DNC/opt-out handling (honor within 10 business days), consent logs and audit trails.

• Performance marketing: daily experimentation, creative testing, attribution truth, channel ROI.

• Product & data: collaborate with engineering/design on scoring models, fraud prevention, dashboards; instrument full-funnel metrics.

• Operations: playbooks, QA, payments, vendor management (dialers/call centers, verification/consent tech), SLAs.

• Team: hire A-players across growth, ops, partnerships; build a culture of ownership, clarity, and speed.

90 days

• Launch pilots in 3–4 states; onboard 150+ licensed agencies/brokers with >85% QA pass.

• Stand up routing with SLA <30s, refund-rate <3%, invalid-rate <1%; capture verifiable per-seller consent on 100% of contacts.

• Hit first revenue milestone; prove payback ≤6 months on at least one acquisition channel.

180 days

• Expand to 10–12 states; 500+ active agencies/brokers; CSAT/NPS >60.

• Scale 2–3 profitable channels; launch higher-intent products (live transfers, appointments) with QA benchmarks.

• Close 2 strategic partnerships (associations, aggregators, data/verification providers).

• Publish operating cadence: weekly KPIs, monthly P&L, quarterly roadmap.

• Are an operator-builder who makes clear decisions with incomplete data and ships daily.

• Write crisply, think in experiments, and obsess over customer outcomes and unit economics.

• Prefer ownership over consensus and do your best work at startup speed.

• Treat compliance as an advantage — not red tape.

• 7–10+ years in two-sided marketplaces or regulated lead-gen/home & financial services, with direct P&L accountability.

• Evidence of scaling from zero to multi-state with strong retention and QA.

• Hands-on with performance marketing, funnel analytics, pricing/bidding, and lead quality/routing.

• Familiarity with TCPA/DNC requirements and consent verification workflows (or willingness to learn fast).

• Excellent written English; US-friendly time zones.

• Insurance domain knowledge (Auto, Home, Life, Health/Medicare).

• Experience with consent/verification tools and call-center/dialer stacks; live-transfer/appointment products.

• Partner sales (associations, aggregators, carriers).

• Spanish a plus.

• Compensation: competitive founders base + bonus + meaningful equity (tell us what great looks like for you).

• Remote-first, travel ~15–25% for market launches and partner events.

• A proven multi-vertical playbook, real budget, and the autonomy to move fast.

• A culture that values ownership, clarity, speed, and candor.
