We partner with the world’s best brands to help them understand the true value of their inventory and route it to the right destinations globally. Ghost gives brands precise control over where and how their inventory is sold. Backed by top venture firms including L Catterton, Cathay Innovation, Union Square Ventures, Equal Ventures, and Eniac. Ghost has offices in Los Angeles and New York.\nAbout the Role\nGhost is building a live selling business unit from the ground up, and we're looking for a General Manager to own it end to end - shows, sellers, inventory, and pricing. You'll run the P&L, as well as resourcing, scheduling, inventory flow, and cross-team execution. \nKey Responsibilities:\nStrategy\nSet the strategy by mapping the competitive landscape, analyzing performance by show, seller, and category across all channels, and talking directly to sellers and buyers to pressure-test assumptions and surface unmet needs.\nBuild the roadmap, with clear priorities, sequencing, and owners against the business unit's biggest opportunities and headwinds.\nAlign the strategy with Sales, Product, and Operations and secure buy-in before executing.\nShow Operations & Team Leadership\nKeep every channel live by hiring strong streamers and hosts, owning the schedule (fill rate, no-shows, gaps), and adjusting staffing in real time so no channel sits idle.\nTrack seller and host performance on air and rotate the lineup across channels to maximize revenue per show.\nSet and enforce standards for audio/video reliability and on-air execution, backed by pre- and post-show QA.\nCoach the talent by reviewing show recordings and giving hosts structured, specific feedback to raise conversion over time.\nEscalate recurring technical or execution issues to Product and Engineering.\nInventory, Fulfillment & Pricing\nPartner with Sales to plan and allocate inventory across every channel and vertical, avoiding both overstock and mid-show sellouts.\nBuild real-time visibility with Product into what's moving or stalling across verticals, flagging over/understock risk before it becomes a problem.\nOwn fulfillment by partnering with Operations and warehouse partners to hit shipping and delivery SLAs, resolving returns before they become seller or buyer issues.\nSet the pricing model, including strategy and guardrails (flash pricing, bundles, seller discounts), and test what drives conversion without eroding margin or seller trust.\nBuild a repricing process that adjusts prices live during a show, rather than after it ends.\nRevenue & Growth\nDrive demand by owning the show promotional calendar, campaigns, and notifications across every channel.\nGrow the buyer base by driving acquisition and retention and investing in community-building around shows.\nMatch supply to demand by tracking viewership and audience trends and aligning seller/inventory mix accordingly.\nFind the next unlock by testing new channels, formats, and tactics (co-hosted shows, thematic events, flash sales), and scale what works.\nOperational Efficiency\nOwn the P&L by tracking production, staffing, and promotional spend against revenue per show, and reallocate investment toward the highest-ROI shows and sellers.\nRemove friction by partnering with Product and Engineering to eliminate manual or error-prone parts of running a show, and pilot new tools and workflows.\nOwn the KPI dashboard: GMV, show throughput, inventory sell-through, fulfillment SLAs, and seller/buyer retention.\nUse the data to course-correct fast: decide where the team spends its time and flag risks early enough to act on them.\nQualifications:\nBachelor's degree in business, economics, operations, or a related field \nDirect experience building the operational foundation for a live selling channel, i.e. TikTok, WhatNot, eBay live, and Amazon Live\n5+ years in operations, general management, or a similar cross-functional leadership role, with experience in e-commerce, marketplaces, retail, or live commerce/streaming\nDirect people management experience\nP&L ownership experience\nTrack record of running a multi-channel, multi-vertical, operationally complex business\nExperience with AI and passionate about incorporating AI into daily workflows (Claude, ChatGPT, etc.)\nComfortable operating with ambiguity and shifting priorities in a fast-moving startup environment\nStrong written and verbal communication, with the ability to influence without direct authority\nThis position will be based onsite in our LA office (mid-city). Our total compensation for this position can range from $80,000-150,000 base salary + bonus + equity. The actual amounts may vary based on factors such as experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities related to the position.\nBenefits we offer: \nMedical, Vision, and Dental with some plans covered at 100% \nCompetitive compensation and equity structure\n401K \nUnlimited PTO \nGhost is an equal opportunity employer and values diversity in the workplace.
