The Person
Experienced managing a yoga, Pilates, fitness, wellness or premium hospitality environment, ideally with 3–5 years' relevant experience. A confident people leader who can create structure, accountability and a strong team culture. Commercially aware, service-led and genuinely operational — someone who takes ownership rather than waits to be told what to do. Comfortable working in a live opening environment where priorities move quickly and problems need solving. Polished and professional without being performative; warm, confident and humble. Naturally curious, detail-oriented and highly observant. Calm under pressure, with good judgement and the ability to bring clarity to a busy environment. Hands-on and visible, with no hesitation getting stuck into the detail or stepping onto the floor. Someone with energy and personality who genuinely cares about creating a great studio, team and member community. Experience with booking platforms such as Momence, MarianaTek or Mindbody is desirable.
