WHO YOU ARE We're not looking for a placeholder. We're looking for a builder.

• You own a number. You've been accountable for real sales metrics - revenue, conversion, retention - and you can tell us exactly what they were and whether you hit them.
• You develop people, not just manage them. You can name someone on a previous team you coached into a higher role. You give direct feedback and follow through.
• You recruit proactively. You don't wait for a job board to fill your pipeline. You know what "good" looks like and you go find it.
• You recover gracefully. When a guest has a problem, you don't pass it off - you own the fix, and you use it to make things better for the next person.
• You've managed a real team. 2+ years leading direct reports in retail, spa, beauty, hospitality, or a similar guest-facing environment. More experience = more earning potential.
• You're available when guests are. Flexible schedule including evenings and weekends (one weekend shift, not both). Reliable transportation required.

OUR HIRING PROCESS Three steps. No runaround.

• Step 1 - Video Interview: A real conversation about your experience, style, and goals.
• Step 2 - Experience the Center: Visit us as a guest. See what we're about from the inside.
• Step 3 - Mutual Fit Decision: If it clicks for both sides, let's grow together.
