THE ROLE
JOB TITLE: General Manager – ( Caribbean)
LOCATION: London, UK (3 days per week in the office)
TYPE OF CONTRACT: Permanent, Full-Time
SALARY RANGE: Up to £110,000 + bonus
We are seeking a highly commercial and entrepreneurial General Manager (GM) to lead a cluster of country markets. The GM will have full P&L responsibility, accountable for driving growth in transactions, deepening local market penetration, optimising gross profit, and unlocking new market opportunities within their region.
This role requires a strategic yet hands-on leader, comfortable managing diverse partnerships, building and executing growth strategies, and collaborating cross-functionally with central teams.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
Key Objectives
- Transaction Growth and gross profit growth — the two numbers this role is judged on.
- On-the-ground (OTG) activation as the primary growth lever — street-level and community activation that gets new users transacting, not just aware.
- Successfully launch and scale new markets within the cluster.
Key Responsibilities
- OTG Activation
- Runs ground activation personally — designs the local activation plan, gets hands-on with execution (crews, partners, companies, on-the-ground events), and fixes what isn't working in real time rather than waiting for a quarterly review.
- Builds distribution beyond the obvious — retail, digital, and community partnerships that get Ding closer to where diaspora customers already are.
- P&L and Market Expansion
- Identify and launch new country markets in the cluster, overseeing go-to-market execution and early growth acceleration.
- Own the P&L for the cluster of countries, delivering revenue and gross profit targets.
- Monitor performance through KPIs, market insights, and competitor intelligence, making data-driven decisions.
- Provide leadership, guidance, and accountability across local teams and cross-functional stakeholders.
- Growth Strategy & Execution
- Design and implement pricing, discounting, and promotional strategies, including structured testing to optimise conversion and margin.
- Partner with Marketing teams to plan and optimise paid search campaigns, ensuring ROI and alignment with local customer insights.
- Commercial & Partnerships
- Build and manage partnerships with Mobile Network Operators (MNOs), driving supply, promotional strategy, and joint business planning.
- Develop and scale distribution partnerships across retail and digital channels, including sourcing and vouchering products.
Negotiate commercial terms and secure competitive advantage in the market.
-
WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR
- Proven track record in general and /or country market management, commercial leadership, or regional P&L ownership.
- A track record of building or running something with limited resources and making it work.
- Direct, specific evidence of running ground-level marketing or activation that moved a real number — not just overseeing an agency that did.
- Entrepreneurial mindset: hands-on, solution oriented, thrives in fast-paced, growth-driven environments.
- Strong leadership capabilities with the ability to influence cross-functional teams (Marketing, Product, Pricing, Supply).
- Experience owning the commercial strategy for the Caribbean.
- Direct evidence of negotiating budget or co-funding out of a partner.
- Analytical and data-driven, with expertise in pricing strategy, promotions, and marketing optimisation.
Experience in telecoms, digital products, consumer services, or adjacent industries preferred.
