Job Description

Do you love driving results, leading teams, and making a lasting impact on families and the community?

We are a staffing firm who is partnering with our amazing client to find a dynamic center leader in the West San Jose, CA area to oversee operations for a growing youth development and fitness organization. This opportunity is ideal for a motivated professional who excels in relationship-building, team leadership, and sales growth...and who’s inspired by helping kids build confidence and healthy habits.

What You’ll Do:

• Oversee daily operations to ensure a positive, safe, and energetic environment for both families and staff.
• Lead business development efforts through outreach, community involvement, and membership growth initiatives.
• Manage key financial metrics, including budgets, KPIs, and overall profitability.
• Recruit, train, and coach a high-performing team to deliver excellent service and programming.
• Build strong connections with families and community partners, serving as the friendly, reliable point of contact.
• Occasionally assist with youth programming or classes to maintain a hands-on understanding of the business.

What You Bring:

• 5 years of proven sales experience with consistent achievement of goals.
• A genuine passion for working with children and helping them thrive.
• Prior leadership or management experience required.
• Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to inspire and motivate others.
• Comfort working in an active, fast-paced setting that requires physical movement and hands-on engagement.
• Technically proficient with CRM databases, Google Workspace, etc.
• CPR certification (or willingness to obtain).
• Bonus: background in child development, physical education, or fitness.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

• Competitive pay structure with performance-based incentives.
• The chance to build and lead your own team within a mission-driven organization.
• Meaningful work that positively influences kids’ lives every day.
• A lively, supportive, and fun work environment where your leadership truly matters.

If you’re a results-oriented professional who loves sales, leadership, and making a difference, we’d love to connect with you!
