Strategic Growth & Partnerships: Develop local business partnerships and execute community events to grow the brand’s footprint in Ankeny and beyond.
A "Culture of Care": Lead an environment where team members feel valued, accepted, and inspired, backed by our core values: Loyal, Authentic, Passionate, and Diligent.

Why This is the Best Place to Lead

Exceptional Support: Work alongside a local owner who provides the clinical resources and professional tools needed to make this the premier workplace for your team.
Competitive Compensation: A salary range of $50,000 – $100,000 with significant performance-driven bonus opportunities.

Experience: 3-5 years of management in a membership-based retail or service environment.
Operational Grit: Strong working knowledge of P&L, labor laws, and inventory management.
Coaching DNA: A passion for "in-the-moment" coaching on the floor and developing positive relationships with a diverse team.
Tech Savvy: Ability to navigate a fully digital work environment and standard business software.

The Details

Commitment: Full-time, with the flexibility to work varied hours (weekends/evenings) to support your team when they need you most.
