Job description
Company Description
The Class is a mindful wellness company with a global digital presence and elevated studio experiences in NY and LA. Through a music-driven practice, we exercise the body to engage the mind. Through physical conditioning, we work out mental and emotional behaviors to create new tools for experiencing life.
Founded in 2011 by Taryn Toomey, The Class is a wringing out-literally and figuratively-of the body, mind, and soul. And it's fun.
As we continue to grow our community and impact, we are seeking an experienced Studio Manager to lead our Santa Monica studio and deliver a best-in-class experience for our students, teachers, and team.
Job Description
The Class is seeking a passionate, highly organized, and results-oriented Studio Manager to lead our Santa Monica studio team and operations.
This is a hands-on management role responsible for driving studio performance across revenue, sales, hospitality, team development, and day-to-day operations. The Studio Manager will own the studio's business performance, manage and develop the sales and front-of-house team, and ensure an exceptional student experience while maintaining operational excellence.
The ideal candidate is an entrepreneurial leader who thrives in a fast-paced environment, loves building relationships, is energized by achieving goals, and is equally comfortable reviewing KPIs, coaching a team member, greeting students at the front desk, or resolving operational challenges. From leaky showers to liaisoning with partners, this capable leader can handle it all with grace and confidence.
