I hope that this is not just a bit of covert advertising
First, you need to really determine the size of the hero-small-free banner. Is it 1920 wide or 1024 wide? Small would indicate 1024 but maybe you actually need 1920. You should work a larger size, better to eventually scale down than scale up.
Then image format, does not matter while you are editing, always save your work as a Gimp .xcf file until finally exporting as a png or jpeg.
The hero banner is a jpeg, your replacement is a png.
Using your png banner. It does not have an alpha channel (transparency) first thing to do is add one Layer -> Transparency -> Add Alpha Channel
Then, as with Blighty comment, what do you need. Something like this?

To get a good curve for cutting out the left side, I created a path then path to selection. With the white background it looks as a jpeg which does not support transparency.
I will attach the gimp .xcf.gx file so you can have a look at the path. Next question might be, regardless of shape, do you want a hard edge or a fade out? Various thing you can do, but first find out the correct size.
