Regional General Manager

About 8Fleet:

8Fleet is a Los Angeles–based technology and logistics company building the operational infrastructure behind modern rideshare fleets, both autonomous and non-autonomous. We operate in Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Atlanta, and Miami.

We're hiring a Regional General Manager to own our North region, anchored in Chicago.

About the Role:

The Regional General Manager, North is responsible for 8Fleet's operations and growth across the North region, anchored in Chicago. The RGM North owns the end-to-end launch and success of new markets, hires and leads the Market Managers who run them day-to-day, and is the connective tissue between regional execution and company strategy, working in close, regular contact with 8Fleet's founders and executive team.

This role requires someone who can operate at 20,000 feet (regional strategy, market prioritization, resourcing) and then drop into the weeds of a single market's P&L or a driver-supply problem when needed. It's a builder's role: launching new markets from scratch, standing up teams, and contributing to best practices that other regions will follow.

The ideal candidate has scaled operations in a fast-moving, multi-market environment (rideshare, delivery, or similar marketplace/logistics businesses), has directly managed managers, and brings a founder's mindset to ambiguity. Prior experience at Uber, Lyft, or a comparable rideshare/mobility platform is a strong plus.

You are driven. You are endlessly curious. You are passionate about finding creative solutions to challenges — and you know how to build that same instinct in the managers you lead.

Key Responsibilities:

Regional Leadership & Market Launches

Own the launch playbook and execution for new markets across the North region, from pre-launch planning through steady-state operations

Lead, hire, and develop a team of Market Managers across the region; set goals, coach performance, and build bench strength

Partner closely with other RGMs to share best practices, standardize processes, and align on cross-regional priorities

Serve as the primary point of contact between the region and 8Fleet's founders/executive team, providing regular reporting and surfacing risks and opportunities early

Fleet Growth & Management

Own all financial and operational metrics across the region's markets to ensure optimal revenue and profit maximization

Oversee regional fleet operations, including driver scheduling, dispatch, and performance monitoring, through the Market Manager team

Ensure vehicle maintenance and repair programs across markets support optimal fleet utilization and safety

Partner with the Growth team to develop and execute regional strategies to recruit, onboard, and retain a high-performing driver base

Financial Performance

Analyze regional and market-level performance data to identify areas for improvement in profitability and operational efficiency

Develop and implement cost-effective strategies to maximize regional fleet profitability

Set, monitor, and report on regional KPIs; hold Market Managers accountable to their local targets

Build and scale the Market Manager function within the region, including hiring, onboarding, and ongoing training

Foster a positive, high-performance culture across all region markets

Establish regional best practices for driver support, training, and customer service standards

Compliance & Safety

Ensure compliance with all relevant regulations and safety standards across every market in the region

Oversee regular safety audits across markets and ensure corrective actions are implemented

Successful Candidates Will Bring

6+ years of operations management, business consulting, or related experience managing multi-site or multi-market operations

4+ years of experience managing managers (not just individual contributors), with a track record of hiring and developing strong operators

Goal focus with a strong bias toward action and comfort operating with ambiguity

Entrepreneurial hustle and proven self-starter with an owner's mentality; experience launching new markets, sites, or business lines strongly preferred

Data-driven mindset, strong business judgment, and proven ability to perform analysis, draw key insights, and form and execute strategy at a regional level

Strong communication and interpersonal skills to build relationships, manage a distributed team, influence founders/execs, and inspire others

Excellent organization and time management; comfortable managing multiple markets and priorities simultaneously

Willingness to travel across region markets as needed

MBA or advanced degree is a strong plus

Experience with ridesharing platforms (Uber, Lyft) is a strong plus

Compensation

Base Salary Range: $160,000–$190,000

Plus annual bonus and strong stock option award
