General Manager

The Opportunity

Pearl operates a large consumer marketplace that connects people with independent professionals. We are now building a B2B business to help those professionals acquire clients and grow their own solo practices.

This role is the General Manager of that B2B business. 

You will own the end-to-end strategy, execution, and P&L for our B2B portfolio — building the go-to-market engine that will take the business from early revenue to a $100M+. This role is equal parts strategy and hands-on execution, designed for a leader who thrives in ambiguity. 

 

What You’ll Own

General Management & P&L

• Full ownership of the B2B business, including P&L, pricing, packaging, and the growth roadmap. 
• Accountability for scaling the business from early revenue to $100M+ over time by building a repeatable go-to-market model and a strong operating foundation.
• Act as CEO of the business line: set priorities, make tradeoffs, and allocate resources for maximum impact

Go-to-Market Strategy & Execution

• Design, build, and scale an end-to-end GTM engine across acquisition, activation, conversion, retention, and monetization, ensuring tight alignment between product, marketing, sales, and customer success
• Develop and operationalize a repeatable vertical launch playbook, from market selection and positioning through execution, measurement, and iteration
• Anticipate market and customer inflection points, proactively evolving GTM strategy using leading indicators and pattern recognition—setting direction based on what’s coming next, not just reporting on what’s already happened
• Translate customer insights and performance data into sustained revenue growth, turning qualitative and quantitative signals into clear priorities, experiments, and scalable growth motions

Product Operations & Cross-Functional Leadership

• Partner closely with Product, Engineering, Business Development, Operations, and executive teams to identify and launch AI-driven capabilities that materially improve customer outcomes and unit economics.
• Influence product and platform roadmaps to ensure GTM and business economics are tightly integrated

• Establish operating cadence, KPIs, and governance that enable fast execution without unnecessary bureaucracy
• Be the “glue” that fosters alignment and connectivity via strong communication, change management, and knowledge management practices down and across team hierarchies.
• Hire and lead the team needed to drive growth as the business scales

External Leadership

• Represent Pearl externally with partners, at conferences, and within the independent professional ecosystem
• Build strategic partnerships that accelerate distribution, credibility, and adoption

 

What Success Looks Like

First 90 Days

• Deep understanding of the customer, market, product, and revenue mechanics
• Identification and activation of the highest-impact near-term revenue levers
• Delivery of a clear GTM roadmap, hiring plan, and initial pricing and packaging hypotheses

6 Months

• Demonstrable acceleration in acquisition, conversion, and revenue velocity
• Early proof points that the vertical playbook is repeatable
• Operating cadence, KPIs, and team structure in place to support scale

12 Months

• A validated path toward unlocking the broader $100M+ opportunity
• Pearl positioned as a category-defining platform for independent professionals

 

The Ideal Candidate

Required Experience

• GM- or VP-level leader with full P&L ownership
• Proven experience scaling a B2B, SaaS, marketplace, or platform business from early revenue to tens of millions
• Deep understanding of SMB, microbusiness, or solo professional markets
• Hands-on GTM operator with experience building acquisition and conversion engines
• Comfortable operating in zero-to-one and one-to-many environments with incomplete playbooks

Strongly Aligned Backgrounds

• Experience at companies serving independent professionals or small businesses (e.g., Intuit, Shopify, Square, Toast, GoDaddy, or similar)
• Experience launching new verticals or business lines from scratch
• Experience building or commercializing AI-powered products

Leadership Profile

• Entrepreneurial, high-ownership mindset with a bias for action
• Comfortable with ambiguity and capable of bringing clarity quickly
• Data-driven, customer-obsessed, and outcomes-oriented
• Willing to operate at both strategic and executional levels

Nice to Have

• Marketplace, lead-generation, or freemium business model experience
• Experience in legal tech or related vertical SaaS markets serving independent professionals
• Founder experience with strong learning velocity
• Experience leading businesses as GM, Head of B2B, VP GTM, or similar

Why Join Pearl

• True ownership: a GM role with real authority and accountability
• A massive market opportunity at the intersection of AI and independent professionals
• Ability to shape product, GTM, and team from the ground up
• Backed by an established consumer platform
• A rare opportunity to build a category-defining business, not just optimize an existing one
