About the VP & General Manager Role As VP & General Manager of Kooner Mobile Auto Care, you are the architect of a brand-new business within an established company.

You own the P&L. You set the vision. You build the team, shape the brand, and drive the growth, with direct accountability to senior leadership and a mandate to scale. But beyond the metrics and milestones, this role is about entrepreneurial leadership in the truest sense, making decisions with incomplete information, moving fast without sacrificing quality, and building something that didn't exist before you walked in the door. This is a high-visibility, high-impact role with direct influence over the future direction of Kooner Mobile Auto Care.
