We are looking for a General Manager / President — Digital Growth & Operations
Markets: Canada and the United States
Work arrangement: [Remote]
Compensation: [Base salary range + performance incentives; equity or profit sharing, if applicable]
About the company
We are a Canadian digital business operating across Canada and the United States, with three complementary areas:
- Rank-and-rent assets: Owned websites that generate leads and revenue through rental or lead-generation arrangements.
- Online directories: Digital properties connecting businesses with customers.
- Digital agency services: Client services that help businesses improve their online presence and generate demand.
We have an established foundation of clients and digital assets. We are looking for an experienced leader to help determine where we go next—and build the team, systems, and financial discipline to get us there.
The opportunity
As General Manager / President, you will work directly with ownership to set strategy and lead day-to-day business performance.
Our long-term ambition is to grow the value of the business by 5–10×. Your role will be to assess the opportunity, establish realistic targets, and develop and execute a growth plan supported by a clear budget, priorities, and measurable milestones.
This is a hands-on leadership role with responsibility for both strategy and execution.
What you will lead
- Strategy and resource allocation: Assess our business lines and assets, identify the strongest opportunities, and recommend where to invest, improve, consolidate, or exit.
- Financial performance: Take responsibility for revenue growth, profitability, budgets, forecasting, and performance reporting.
- Asset monetization: Improve the performance and commercial value of our websites, directories, and lead-generation properties.
- Sales and client growth: Strengthen pricing, sales processes, partnerships, client retention, and account expansion.
- Operations: Build repeatable processes that improve delivery, accountability, and efficiency as the company grows.
- People and leadership: Evaluate team needs, develop existing talent, and recruit or manage employees, contractors, and specialist partners.
- Business resilience: Reduce dependence on individual clients, traffic sources, platforms, or key people.
What success looks like
During your first 90 days, you will:
- Complete an assessment of our clients, assets, finances, team, and operations.
- Establish baseline performance metrics across each business line.
- Present a prioritized 12-month operating plan, budget, and longer-term growth roadmap.
- Begin executing the highest-impact improvements.
Over time, success will be measured by profitable growth, stronger recurring revenue, better asset performance, improved client retention, and a business that can scale with less dependence on ownership.
Who we are looking for
- A proven record of helping scale a business, with clear examples of your personal contribution and measurable results.
- Experience owning a P&L, building budgets, and making investment and hiring decisions.
- Leadership experience in a digital agency, lead-generation company, online marketplace, directory business, or comparable digital business.
- A working understanding of SEO, local search, lead generation, conversion, and digital asset monetization.
- The ability to turn strategy into clear priorities, accountable teams, and consistent execution.
- Strong commercial judgment and comfort working in an entrepreneurial company where systems are still evolving.
Experience with rank-and-rent models and both Canadian and U.S. markets would be an advantage.
How to apply
Please submit your résumé and a brief overview of a business you helped grow, including its starting point, the results achieved, the timeframe, and your specific responsibilities. Explain why this opportunity interests you.
