Job description
Leap Brands is partnering with a growing health and wellness franchisor seeking a Chief Executive Officer to lead the next phase of growth, franchise expansion, operational scale, and overall brand evolution.
This is not a role for someone who just wants to manage a mature business and maintain the status quo. The company is looking for a builder. A leader who understands franchising, growth, operations, people, brand positioning, and how to scale a consumer-facing business without losing culture or execution along the way.
The ideal candidate has experience leading multi-unit, franchise, retail, fitness, wellness, or consumer service businesses and understands the balance between supporting franchisees while still driving accountability and performance across the system.
This role will work closely with ownership and executive leadership to help shape the long-term vision of the company while ensuring the business continues to grow responsibly and profitably.

Lead overall company strategy, operations, growth, and organizational performance

Build and develop leadership teams across operations, franchise support, marketing, HR, finance, development, and training
Improve systems, infrastructure, and scalability across the organization
Lead company culture and organizational alignment during periods of rapid growth
Work closely with ownership, board members, and investors on strategic planning and business performance
Identify opportunities for operational improvements, new market expansion, and additional revenue growth
Ensure brand standards, customer experience, and franchise support remain strong as the business scales
Help position the company as a leader within the health and wellness franchise space
Drive accountability, urgency, and execution across all levels of the organization
Requirements
Senior executive leadership experience within franchising, health & wellness, fitness, retail, consumer services, or multi‑unit operations
Prior CEO, President, COO, or senior operational leadership experience preferred
Strong understanding of franchise systems, franchisee relationships, and multi‑unit operations
Proven track record of scaling businesses and leading growth initiatives
Experience building teams, developing leadership, and creating operational structure
Strong financial and operational acumen
Comfortable operating in fast paced, entrepreneurial, and growth‑oriented environments
Experience working with private equity, founders, or investor groups is a plus
Strong communication, leadership, and relationship‑building skills
