What are the responsibilities and job description for the Founding GM, Bonfiire position at Bizly?
Why We Exist
People are starved for real connection. Bonfiire is our revolutionary new product for this opportunity. We are the first platform built end-to-end around the gatherings that people need— every Bonfiire includes space, food, drinks, and one distinctive element that brings everyone closer together. We've turned what used to be a logistics headache into a single elevated experience anyone can book in minutes.
What makes this a generational opportunity isn't the product alone — it's the distribution. We've partnered with one of the world's largest travel companies to put Bonfiire in front of the market, and our Bizly enterprise business funnels Fortune 500 demand into the same engine. Most consumer companies spend a decade building distribution. We start with it.
The Role
You'll own the Bonfiire Business end-to-end with a focus on product: full P&L, full stack (product, design, eng, marketing, demand gen, conversion), full team. You'll have resources on your team and direct say over staffing, hires, and AI augmentation.
The brief: fully execute on our flagship distribution partnership and deliver transactional revenue. Every step from partner placement to booked event has to be designed with intention — you are rapidly iterating to fix all the leaks in the bucket and create the most scalable product possible.
We're hiring someone to design the system. Someone who has been so thoughtful about how the system fits together that it scales rapidly and converts users into bookings and revenue without the team having to push it uphill. Product, design, funnel, and feedback loops are all one system to you.
What You'll Own
Values. You want to take a big swing on something that matters — bringing humans closer together in an age that pulls them apart. You're hard-working, creative, curious, and ethical.
Abilities. You think in systems. You see a product, a funnel, a team, and a feedback loop as one connected machine, and you tune all four at once. You have real product and design taste — you can tell a good experience from a great one and you know how to ship the difference. You can sit in a design review, walk through a funnel teardown, run a P&L, and ship an agent.
Skills. You've got what it takes to run this pod! The ideal person is an IC in product management.
Logistics
5 days/week in Palo Alto. OPT support available; not sponsoring H1B.
