PURPOSE The Director of Revenue Management is responsible for developing and leading VASA Fitness's enterprise revenue strategy across our growing portfolio of clubs, membership products, premium fitness experiences, retail merchandising, and ancillary offerings. As VASA continues to expand into new markets and grow its membership base, this leader will build a disciplined, data-driven approach to pricing, product monetization, and merchandising—balancing revenue growth, member acquisition, retention, competitive positioning, margin, and long-term member value. This role will serve as VASA's internal expert and central point of accountability for pricing and revenue optimization, including the commercial strategy for in-club retail and merchandising. The Director will partner closely with Finance, Marketing, Operations, Fitness/Product, Real Estate, Technology, Analytics, and Procurement to evaluate revenue opportunities, develop recommendations, test new approaches, and measure results. Success in this role means ensuring VASA has the right product, at the right price, in the right place, for the right member and market—while protecting the strong value proposition that differentiates VASA and expanding profitable non-dues revenue.

Identify opportunities to optimize membership pricing and packaging as VASA expands into new and existing markets. Develop recommendations for price increases, membership tier changes, product launches, new rate categories, fees, promotions, and other pricing initiatives. Revenue Optimization & Analytics Build financial models to evaluate the impact of pricing changes on joins, membership revenue, retention, average revenue per member, member lifetime value, and EBITDA. Analyze price elasticity and member behavior to understand how changes in pricing affect acquisition, upgrades, downgrades, cancellations, and retention. Identify opportunities to increase revenue per member through improved pricing, packaging, bundling, and product penetration. Develop pricing dashboards and KPIs that allow leadership to monitor pricing performance across the portfolio. Partner with Finance and Analytics to develop revenue forecasts and measure the financial impact of pricing initiatives.

Establish pricing, margin, sell-through, inventory productivity, and revenue targets by category, and use performance data to optimize product mix and placement. Identify white-space opportunities to expand product offerings, increase basket size and per-member spend, and introduce high-margin, high-velocity products. Partner with Operations, Marketing, Finance, and Procurement to improve in-club execution, promotions, inventory visibility, vendor economics, and the overall member retail experience. Evaluate and develop scalable commerce models, including in-club purchases, digital or QR-based commerce, drop-ship opportunities, affiliate programs, and revenue-share partnerships. Use merchandising as a lever to strengthen member engagement, brand affinity, and non-dues revenue while maintaining disciplined return-on-investment and margin expectations. Establish a systematic approach to continuously monitoring competitor pricing, promotions, membership structures, premium products, and market trends. Collaborate with Marketing on competitive responses. Balance market-level pricing recommendations against competitive intensity, demographics, club maturity, demand, and member behavior.

Translate test results into actionable recommendations and scalable pricing strategies. Promotions & Discount Strategy Establish guidelines and governance for membership promotions, discounts, introductory offers, and other pricing incentives in alignment with branding objectives. Partner with Analytics to evaluate promotional effectiveness and determine whether promotions generate incremental members and long-term value. Analyze promotional cohorts to understand conversion, retention, lifetime value, and payback. Recommend when VASA should use price as an acquisition lever and when other marketing or product strategies would generate greater value.

Partner with Real Estate, Marketing, Finance, and Operations to assess market characteristics and recommend appropriate membership pricing. Evaluate pre-opening/founding-member pricing strategies and the transition to stabilized club pricing.
