General Manager - Motor Gear Trader; Trading & Sales

General Manager - Motor Gear Trader (Trading & Sales)

Motor Gear Trader is building a modern marketplace and trading platform for the motor gear ecosystem.

This is a remote position.

The General Manager (GM) owns the end-to-end business: launch readiness, revenue, operations, product execution, and investor outcomes.

This is a builder/operator role—someone who can take MGT from beta → launch → scale, while recruiting and leading a high-performing team and ensuring the platform and go-to-market motion match real customer demand.

This role reports into Estoras Group leadership and operates in alignment with Estoras’ operating standards (performance, accountability, and disciplined execution).

Within the first 6–12 months, the GM will:

• Launch a stable, market-ready platform (post-beta) with clear adoption and retention signals
• Establish repeatable acquisition channels (buyers/sellers/dealers/partners—depending on MGT’s model)
• Build a lean, high-output team (contractor-first where possible) with clear scorecards and accountability
• Implement operational cadence: weekly KPIs, monthly reporting, forecast discipline
• Create investor-ready reporting and a credible scaling plan (fundraising optional depending on strategy)

• Own and execute the company operating plan: positioning, pricing, GTM, partnerships, and growth targets
• Translate Estoras Group objectives into measurable quarterly priorities (OKRs / EOS-style rocks)
• Drive launch readiness (product + operations + marketing + support)
• Build the roadmap toward scale (and if applicable future capital events)

• Oversee the design, development, and deployment of the MGT platform (beta improvements, launch version, iteration cycles)
• Ensure product decisions are grounded in customer feedback and marketplace liquidity dynamics
• Establish lightweight but effective product delivery systems:
  • Roadmap management
  • Sprint cadence
  • QA/release process
  • Uptime/support workflows
• Partner with technical leads/vendors to deliver outcomes on time and within constraints

• Run day-to-day operations with a focus on speed, quality, and profitability
• Build and maintain core operating infrastructure:
  • KPI dashboards and weekly reporting
  • Budgeting, forecasting, and cost controls
  • Vendor management and contract oversight
  • Risk management and compliance awareness (as relevant to trading/marketplace operations)
• Own P&L accountability (or build toward it as revenue ramps)

• Recruit, onboard, and lead a high-performing team across:
  • Product / engineering (internal or vendor-managed)
  • Sales / partnerships
  • Customer success / support
  • Ops / admin (as needed)
• Make key personnel decisions (hiring, compensation, performance management) aligned with Estoras Group policies
• Build a performance culture: clear expectations, scorecards, feedback loops, and accountability

• Build strong relationships with customers and key supply-side stakeholders (dealers, distributors, partners, etc.)
• Own customer satisfaction, retention, and escalation management
• Develop strategic partnerships that accelerate liquidity and trust in the platform
• Manage investor communications (where applicable): updates, transparency, metrics, and narrative

• Deliver cross-functional initiatives on time, within budget, and to spec Maintain clear documentation:
  • Project plans and milestones
  • Status reports and risk logs
  • Change requests and decision records
• Resolve conflicts quickly and professionally—internally and externally

• Proven GM/Operator experience in a startup, marketplace, platform, or high-growth environment
• Strong execution track record across operations, product delivery, and revenue growth
• Demonstrated ability to lead teams and vendors with clear accountability
• Strong business fundamentals: budgeting, forecasting, KPI management, cost control
• Excellent communication skills with customers, partners, and senior stakeholders
• Comfort operating in ambiguity; bias toward action and measurable outcomes
