The Opportunity
As we continue to scale, White Label (WL) has emerged as the fastest-growing and most strategic part of our business—already home to our highest-spending customers and poised to become a $1B+ revenue stream. Today, White Label spans more than 64 product teams.
We are seeking a visionary, hands-on General Manager to build and scale Deel’s White Label business into a standalone SaaS platform. This role will own the full White Label P&L and lead the strategy, execution, and cross-functional alignment required to unlock its massive potential. Reporting to the COO/CEO, you will lead a cross-functional team, with additional dotted-line reporting relationships across the organization.
What You’ll Do
Own and scale the White Label business end-to-end, including P&L, growth strategy, execution, and operating cadence.
Build a SaaS business by serving a book of ISV customers who resell Deel solutions across their full client bases.
Set the vision and strategy for White Label, aligning product, engineering, sales, operations, and GTM teams around a unified roadmap.
Drive internal alignment across 60+ product teams, ensuring White Label becomes a first-class priority across the company.
Partner deeply with Product and Engineering to develop API-first, plug-and-play solutions that reduce onboarding friction and manual effort.
Lead hands-on execution, going deep where needed to unblock progress, validate solutions, and accelerate outcomes.
Use data and customer insight to guide decision-making, prioritize investments, and evolve the product offering.
Act as the internal and external thought leader on White Label, ISV partnerships, regulatory considerations, and market opportunities.
Ensure operational excellence, delivery quality, and scalable processes as the business grows rapidly.
What We’re Looking For
15+ years of experience across operations, general management, and/or human capital management.
Proven track record of hands-on leadership scaling high-growth businesses and owning P&L at a senior or executive level.
Experience building and scaling platform, SaaS, or API-driven products (not purely managed services).
Ability to lead complex, global, matrixed organizations and influence without direct authority.
Strong product intuition and customer empathy, with the ability to translate insights into clear strategy and execution.
Exceptional problem-solving, prioritization, and decision-making skills in ambiguous, fast-moving environments.
Outstanding communication and executive presence, with credibility across C-suite and cross-functional partners.
Nice to Have
Experience in a high-growth technology company or startup environment.
Exposure to HR tech, workforce platforms, or regulated global products.
Background working with ISVs, channel partners, or embedded/white-label solutions.
