Future Opening: General Manager

Founding KidStrong General Manager

Welcome to KidStrong, where we help kids win at life! We are thrilled to announce our brand-new center opening in Bensalem, and we are looking for a powerhouse Founding General Manager to lead the charge. This isn't just a management job; it's an opportunity to build a community from the ground up. You will spearhead our grand opening, recruit your own "A-Team" of coaches, and set the culture for every family that walks through our doors. If you can juggle a tablet, a toddler, and a high-five simultaneously—while hitting growth targets—we want to talk to you!

You'll report directly to me, the Area Developer or Owner. I'm looking for a true partner, not just an employee. I value transparency, high energy, and extreme ownership. My leadership style is supportive and collaborative; I'll provide the resources and "air cover" you need to succeed, while giving you the autonomy to run your floor and lead your team.

Center Operations & Launch:

• Grand Opening Execution: Lead the pre-sale phase and grand opening events to ensure a packed house on Day 1.
• Master the Numbers: Take full ownership of KPIs and financials to ensure a healthy, growing business.
• Keep it Running: Maintain a spotless, "brand-new" center environment and seamless daily operations.
• Flex Your Schedule: Lead from the front with a schedule of 4 weekdays and 1 weekend shift.

Sales & Community Growth:

• Drive Membership: Work with your team to hit aggressive pre-sale and monthly growth goals.
• Lead the Charge: Manage the sales funnel—dialing phones, sending texts, and converting leads into founding members.
• Be the Face of Bensalem: Arrange and attend local events to make KidStrong the most talked-about name in the community.

Leadership & Team Building:

• Recruit & Train: Since this is a new opening, you will hand-select, onboard, and develop your own rockstar coaching staff.
• Foster Growth: Inspire your team to be their best selves on and off the blue floor.
• Stay Connected: Maintain high-level communication via Slack and Email with the team and HQ.

Coaching:

• Be Hands-On: Deliver our world-class curriculum and high-fives in equal measure.
• Stay Active: Actively coach 3–5 classes a week to keep your finger on the pulse of the member experience.
• Certification: Achieve Coach Certification through KidStrong HQ Training.

As the GM of a new center, you are the heartbeat of the operation. You will:

• Mentor & Lead: Direct supervision of your Assistant General Manager, Lead Coach, and coaching staff. You aren't just a boss; you're the person who helps them grow.
• Build Community: Act as the primary bridge between our center and our member families—you are the "glue" that keeps the KidStrong family together.
• Strategic Collaboration: Work hand-in-hand with me (the Owner/Area Developer) and the KidStrong HQ team to ensure Bensalem is the gold standard for the franchise.

We want to hear from people who have:

• Management Background: Previous experience in gym management, retail leadership, or a high-energy service environment.
• Coaching Instincts: Experience working with kids (ages 15 months to 11 years).
• People Guru: The ability to chat up parents and guardians with ease and authenticity.
• Tech Savvy: Practical experience with Google Workspace, Microsoft Office, and social media.
• Certifications: CPR Certified (or willing to obtain).

Competencies:

• Natural Leader: A beacon of KidStrong's core values who leads by example.
• Goal-Oriented: A "closer" who hits targets and always aims higher.
• Performer: High energy and clarity—think "Cruise Director meets Camp Counselor."
• Adaptable: The "startup" energy of a new opening requires someone who embraces change.

Perks & Benefits:

• Founding Leader Status: The unique pride of opening a brand-new territory.
• Competitive Salary: Plus performance-based incentives tied to center growth.
• Career Growth: Ongoing professional development and a seat at the table with the Owner.
• High-Energy Culture: Work in a fun, supportive environment where work actually feels like play.
