General Manager – School of Rock Palos Verdes

We’re looking for an exceptional General Manager to help lead one of the largest School of Rock locations in the world.

Our studio is busy, fast-moving, highly relational, and full of energy. Much of this role is based at our front desk in the heart of the studio, where you have a front-row seat to everything happening around you. We need someone who stays engaged, notices what needs attention, and naturally keeps things moving.

The right person is a force multiplier — someone whose presence makes the entire team stronger.

We’re looking for someone who:

Has 3+ years of management, business operations, or comparable leadership experience

Moves with urgency and thrives in a fast-paced environment

Notices problems before someone has to point them out

Takes ownership and follows things all the way through

Has excellent written and verbal communication skills

Leads confidently while still jumping in alongside the team

Connects easily with parents, students, instructors, and staff

Is highly organized, detail-oriented, and able to pivot quickly

Asks smart questions, learns quickly, and looks for ways to improve systems

Brings positive energy, humor, confidence, and a genuine “we’ve got this” attitude

What You’ll Own

You’ll help oversee the daily operation of a large, thriving music school, including:

Leading and supporting our front desk and instructor team

Managing scheduling, staffing, and daily studio operations

Creating an exceptional experience for students and families

Solving problems quickly and confidently

Supporting enrollment, retention, tours, and customer relationships

Keeping the studio organized, prepared, and running efficiently

Helping our ownership team continuously improve how the school operates

A strong connection to music is important for this role. Whether you’re a professional musician, lifelong musician, or simply someone who genuinely loves music and creative people, we want someone who feels at home in this environment.

We have a strong team, a beautiful studio, and a very established student base. We’re looking for the person who can walk into that environment, earn the trust of the team, take ownership, and make everything around them run better.

If you are energetic, sharp, personable, proactive, and the kind of person who sees a problem and instinctively says, “I’ve got it,” we’d love to meet you.

Offered pay will be based on experience, transferrable skills, and fit to overall culture and vibe of the studio.
