General Manager - Portfolio Company

ABOUT AVIARA

Aviara is a private equity shop focused on AI-enabled rollups in emerging markets. We buy durable, founder-led businesses where local trust already exists, then improve them with better operating cadence, sales discipline, AI automation, and sharper financial management.

Our initial focus is Argentina and Latin America. We are looking at service businesses, software-enabled services, professional services, niche B2B operators, and legacy local companies where the owner has built something real but the business still runs on manual workflows, informal sales, spreadsheets, WhatsApp, and founder memory.

We are not hiring a strategist to write slides from the outside. We are hiring someone who can run one of the businesses we acquire.

ABOUT THE ROLE

The General Manager will be responsible for the day-to-day performance of an Aviara portfolio company.

You will inherit a real business with customers, employees, habits, constraints, and local reputation. Your job is to keep what works, fix what does not, and make the company more valuable every week. That means customer calls, sales follow-up, hiring, firing, pricing, collections, service delivery, process cleanup, reporting, and hands-on AI/process implementation.

This is a tactical operating role. You should be comfortable being close to the details: reviewing the pipeline, calling customers, checking cash, sitting with employees to understand workflows, installing simple systems, and making decisions quickly.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Run the weekly operating cadence: sales pipeline, customer health, delivery, staffing, cash, receivables, priorities, and blockers.

- Own revenue, retention, gross margin, customer satisfaction, and basic P&L performance.

- Spend time with customers to understand why they buy, why they stay, what frustrates them, and where expansion is possible.

- Clean up the sales motion: lead tracking, follow-up, pricing, proposals, close rates, renewals, referrals, and account ...
