GM, Austin
Owl Ventures · Austin, TX · Yesterday
Management$85k–$105k/yrFull-time
About the role
The role is for a General Manager to run the Austin office. This is a mini-CEO seat: you own the office ARR number and the culture of the building. You report into our GTM C-suite, but nobody is going to run Austin for you. You will mimic Uber's early city-GM model.
Responsibilities
- Full accountability for Austin's ARR, new business, expansion, and retention.
- You lead through leaders. You hire them, coach them, and hold the bar for them, and for the AEs, AMs, and supporting GTM roles underneath them.
- You set the tone. Energy, standards, and how it feels to walk in on a Monday morning are yours.
- You say the hard thing in the room, to your team and to your boss. Candor delivered with respect. This is a championship sports team, you are the office head coach for the GTM team and you will bring the intensity to each practice.
- You set the pace. Your output is the ceiling everyone else measures against. This is not a role you can do at 80%.
- You can move a room. You rally a team on a bad quarter and you lead. People follow you because they want to.
- You manage up relentlessly. You bring the ask, the plan, and the pushback before anyone requests it. You don't wait for a scheduled meeting to raise something that matters.
- You speak finance fluently. Unit economics, quota capacity, burn, ramp, payback. You can build the model yourself and you can defend every cell of it under pressure.
- You have grit. You are motivated in difficult scenarios and find energy in the hardest moments.
Qualifications
- A proven revenue leader with a track record of hitting targets and growing markets.
- Experience leading a sales and customer success team.
- Strong leadership skills and ability to motivate and develop teams.
- Ability to set and achieve ambitious goals, and to drive results in a high-pressure environment.
- Fluent in finance and able to build and defend financial models.
- Highly motivated and driven to succeed, with a no-excuses attitude.
