We’re Looking For A: General Manager, Gundry

Location: Hybrid (Woodland Hills, CA)

What You’ll Be Doing

Gundry MD is Golden Hippo's largest brand: a $350M+ health and wellness business built in partnership with Dr. Steven Gundry, a world-renowned cardiothoracic surgeon and best-selling author. The brand has scaled exclusively through DTC direct-response marketing and we are seeking a GM to lead its transformation into a diversified omnichannel consumer health brand with a focus on creating long-term brand equity and enterprise value.

The ideal candidate is a brand builder who became a business owner: trained in classic brand management, proven in full P&L ownership, experienced in both disciplined consumer companies and founder-led or PE/VC-backed businesses, and fluent enough in DTC to earn the trust of a team that knows it deeply, while bringing the brand-building and omnichannel experience Gundry MD needs to realize its full potential.

This is an incredible opportunity to jump into a dynamic, privately held company and lead its biggest brand to new heights. Primary responsibilities and duties include:

Full P&L ownership: Take end-to-end accountability for the business, including brand, product, customer, marketing, and commercial strategy.
Build brand equity: Sharpen positioning, brand architecture, and the product portfolio around deep consumer insight. Establish how brand health (awareness, consideration, trust, loyalty) is measured and managed alongside the P&L.
Grow beyond DTC in ways that strengthen it: Protect and grow the core DTC and subscription business while building an omnichannel roadmap across Amazon/marketplaces, retail, and other potential sales channels. Sequence each move with the economics and operational rigor to make it accretive to the business as a whole.
Deepen customer relationships: Own subscriber retention and LTV as core brand levers, and build a consumer insights capability that informs product, messaging, and channel decisions.
Drive growth across the portfolio: Manage and grow multiple product categories under one brand, applying a portfolio mindset to identify where to invest, where to prioritize, and where the next wave of growth will come from.
Develop and elevate the team: Strengthen current leaders, identify capability gaps, and recruit the talent needed to scale. Foster a culture rooted in ownership, performance, and urgency.
Own the numbers: Maintain deep fluency in financial performance metrics, including CAC, LTV, contribution margin, channel mix, and EBITDA. Balance near-term profitability with the investments required to build long-term brand equity.
Operate at a high level: This is a hands-on high-urgency role for a strong operator; someone who can get into the details when needed while keeping sight of the bigger picture, and who knows how to take an established brand to the next level.
Exemplify leadership company-wide: As part of the Golden Hippo Executive Team, show up within your business unit, the Exec Team, and company-wide settings as a prepared, rigorous, and empathetic leader, serving as a visible and consistent example of what it means to be an executive leader in the business.

Qualifications (Note: We strongly encourage you to apply even if you don’t tick ALL of these boxes.):
