General manager
What's RocketBlocks?RocketBlocks is a leading interview prep platform used by top schools like Stanford GSB, MIT Sloan and Yale SOM.
Our approach is simple: decompose interviews into atomic skills and give candidates the tools to master them.
It's built by experts with experience at leading companies like Google, McKinsey and Amazon. We've helped thousands of students from all walks of life - from freshly minted undergrads to mid-career switchers - land offers at top companies.
What's the role?We're looking for our first GM. This is an ideal role for a future entrepreneur who wants hands-on experience across marketing, sales and support, and product and engineering.
You'll be in the "driver's seat," owning our growth plan, setting and executing the product roadmap, and managing the P&L for our core product line. You'll report directly to the CEO (ex-Google, ex-BCG) and lead day-to-day operations with the team.
To excel in this role, you'll need to be great at translating high level goals (e.g., revenue targets) into an actionable plan, prioritizing efforts ruthlessly to preserve focus, and motivating and driving the team to success.
This could be a great fit *if* you:
- Have 2-4 yrs experience in a demanding role (e.g., consulting, bizops, PM/PMM) and are excited to assume greater leadership responsibility
- Are energized by the challenge of scaling a business and systematizing what’s working (without overburdening a small company with unnecessary process)
- Are excellent at managing projects across multiple phases: ideation, prioritization and tactical execution
- Believe in the RocketBlocks mission: helping people build skills that land them great jobs
This role is likely *not* a fit if you:
- Want to go super-deep on a single dimension (e.g., only work on product features). This is an entrepreneurial role where you’ll drive marketing, lead sales, define product features, etc.
- Do not want to get your hands dirty. Everyone on the RB team participates in the nitty-gritty of shipping and supporting product (e.g., everyone has written some production copy and everyone from eng to CX pushes changes in git)
This is a remote, full-time role. You can work from anywhere in the US (our team is currently located in the Bay Area, Providence, Seattle, and Arlington, VA).
