About the Role

The General Manager is the senior operational leader at Ever’s San Francisco hub. You will own the full customer-facing deal lifecycl —from first contact through funding and title — and are accountable for the performance, culture, and daily execution of four verticals: Sales, BDC, Finance & Insurance, and Business Office / Title & Registration. This role reports directly to the VP of Operations and requires full-time, on-site presence at the SF hub.

Key Responsibilities

Sales Leadership

• Deal Volume & Margin: Own retail deal volume targets for the SF market. Hold the Sales Manager and consultants accountable to closing ratios, front-end margin per unit, and customer experience scores.
• Sales Process: Drive a consistent process from lead to delivery. Monitor pipeline health, stage-by-stage conversion, and days-to-close across the team.
• Deal Quality: Review deals in progress and post-close for margin integrity, proper structure, and process adherence. Coach the Sales Manager on unit economics and objection handling.
• Funnel Gaps: Identify and address breakdowns in the sales funnel before they become pattern issues.

BDC & Lead Operations

• Pipeline Performance: Oversee BDC inbound and outbound pipeline. Hold the BDC Manager accountable to contact rate, appointment set rate, and show rate.
• CRM & Process Hygiene: Ensure lead routing, CRM data integrity, and scripting are current and consistently applied across the team.
• Alignment: Partner with pricing and inventory functions to align lead flow and vehicle positioning with BDC capacity and conversion performance.

Finance & Insurance (F&I)

• Back-End GPU: Own back-end gross profit per unit targets across product penetration, financing conversion, and chargeback rate.
• Compliance: Ensure every deal meets lender guidelines, state regulations, and internal compliance standards. Deal-level compliance is non-negotiable.
• Leading Indicators: Monitor funding time, deal kickbacks, and stipulation clearance rates as the primary health signals for F&I operations.
• Capacity & Structure: Identify constraints in F&I staffing or role definition and escalate to the VP of Operations before they affect throughput.

Business Office / Title & Registration

• SLA Performance: Ensure title and registration processing meets defined SLA targets. Track deal completion rate and exception volume on a weekly basis.
• Handoff Ownership: Own the Finance-to-Business-Office handoff as a documented, zero-ambiguity process. Resolve title issues and lien payoffs without allowing them to delay funding.
• State Compliance: Maintain awareness of title and registration requirements across all active states relevant to SF hub transactions.

Execution & Accountability

• Weekly Reviews: Run structured weekly reviews with team leads. Use data to diagnose trends, assign corrective action, and track resolution.
• Target Translation: Convert company-level targets — GPU, deal volume, margins — into vertical-specific goals with defined owners and timelines.
• Programmatic Initiatives: Drive SOP implementations, system rollouts, and process improvements from design through full team ad
