General Manager, Growth & Partnerships

About Jono Fisher:

Jono Fisher is a leadership mentor, entrepreneur and mindfulness pioneer who has worked with more than 1 million people and 400+ organisations over the past 20 years, including Google, Microsoft, Westpac and Qantas.

His work brings together evidence-based leadership, contemplative practice and real human conversation. What sets Jono apart is his rare ability to bring depth, warmth and credibility into spaces that often default to performance, pressure and surface-level leadership. He creates work that is both commercially relevant and deeply human.

The Opportunity:

Jono Fisher Pty Ltd is entering a new chapter, built around three connected parts of the business:

• Grounded Leadership — a new premium leadership offering for organisations

We’re looking for a commercially minded, entrepreneurial General Manager to help shape this next phase.

This is a hands-on role for someone who can turn a strong foundation into a focused, profitable and high-quality business.

• Driving new business and selling premium leadership programs into organisations
• Overseeing delivery quality and helping build a small, high-quality team
• Supporting the continued growth of Midlife Wisdom School and the podcast as part of a broader business ecosystem

You may be a fit if you:

• Have built, scaled or led a business, division, offer or program
• Are comfortable owning commercial outcomes
• Have experience closing high-value B2B deals and developing trusted client relationships
• Can move between big-picture thinking and practical execution
• Have strong commercial instinct and know how to simplify complexity
• Care about leadership, human development and meaningful work

Highly regarded:
