About the Role

Ghost is building its 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 resourcing, scheduling, inventory flow, and cross-team execution as one connected system, treating every inefficiency as something to solve permanently rather than patch.

Key Responsibilities:

Strategy

• Set 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.
• Build the roadmap, with clear priorities, sequencing, and owners against the business unit's biggest opportunities and headwinds.
• Align the strategy with Sales, Product, and Operations and secure buy-in before executing.

Show Operations & Team Leadership

• Keep every channel live by building a bench of streamers and hosts, monitoring calendar health (fill rate, no-shows, gaps), and adjusting staffing in real time so no channel sits idle.
• Track seller and host performance on air and rotate the lineup across channels to maximize revenue per show.
• Set and enforce standards for audio/video reliability and on-air execution, backed by pre- and post-show QA.
• Coach the talent by reviewing show recordings and giving hosts structured, specific feedback to raise conversion over time.
• Resolve what breaks by escalating recurring technical or execution issues to Product and Engineering.

Inventory, Fulfillment & Pricing

• Partner with Sales to plan and allocate inventory across every channel and vertical, avoiding both overstock and mid-show sellouts.
• Build real-time visibility with Product into what's moving or stalling across verticals, flagging over/understock risk before it becomes a problem.
• Own fulfillment by partnering with Operations and warehouse partners to hit shipping and delivery SLAs, resolving returns before they become seller or buyer issues.
