About Wheely Wheely is redefining premium transportation across major cities in Europe, the US, and the Middle East. We blend cutting-edge technology with the craft of five-star chauffeuring to deliver an experience trusted by more than 100,000 active riders and 1,200 corporate accounts. We’re a profitable, fast-growing scale-up with $43M raised and over $100M in annual revenue. Having recently launched in New York City, we’re expanding rapidly across the US and EMEA. If you take pride in your craft and want to help shape the next chapter of our growth, we'd love to hear from you. About The Role Wheely is launching in Los Angeles, and we're hiring the General Manager who will get us there. You'll join ahead of launch: building the founding team, securing the fleet and chauffeurs, establishing the operation, and preparing for the first ride. From there, you own the P&L and the brand in Los Angeles: service standards, growth, clients, partnerships, and team. You'll report directly to our CEO and work alongside the team behind our US expansion. We're accelerating our US rollout following the successful launch of New York, with Los Angeles as our next major market. LA is one of the world's most important luxury and entertainment hubs, home to global studios, talent agencies, private aviation, and some of the most prestigious events in the world. With major upcoming moments including the Super Bowl in 2027 and the LA Olympics in 2028, this is a unique opportunity to build Wheely's presence in one of the most strategically important markets for our US expansion. We're looking for an operator who has launched or scaled a market before and who can move fast without losing the polish that defines Wheely. Seven-plus years of operating experience; backgrounds in investment banking or consulting are a plus, but not a substitute for hands-on operating experience. Los Angeles residency is required.
