Team Lead

Team Lead

At Defy, our mission is to enrich lives through the power of boundless play – whether that's on the trampoline court, behind the scenes, or at the corporate level. We believe play fuels confidence, connection, and joy, and we're proud to create experiences that reflect that purpose in everything we do.

As the leader in active indoor entertainment, we host unforgettable birthdays, team events, and school parties across the country. Backed by our parent company, CircusTrix, and recognized as a top franchise and growth brand, we continue to raise the bar for innovation and impact in the industry.

Our culture is shaped by our core values: We Play Without Limits, Ignite Innovation, Grow Together, Fuel Joy, and Serve Big, Give Bigger. Whether in a park or a boardroom, these values guide how we lead, collaborate, and show up for each other and for the communities we serve.

Team Lead is a hands-on, early-leadership role built for high-potential individuals ready to step up. You'll rotate through key operational areas – Sales & Service, Parties & Events, and Food & Beverage/Facilities – gaining real responsibility, leadership experience, and the skills to run a shift like a pro.

No need to be a fully developed manager just dependable, driven, and ready to learn. You're the kind of person who shows up, jumps in, and sets the tone. When senior leaders aren't on-site, we'll count on you to step in as Manager on Duty (MOD) and keep the park running strong.

You lead from the floor and set the tone for your team by jumping in and helping the park run at its best. You'll grow your skills and make a real impact by delivering excellence in these key areas:

• Leadership & Operations
• Guest Experience & Sales
• Safety & Compliance
• Rotational Leadership Development

Success in this role starts with the right mindset, the drive to lead, and a solid foundation. Here's what that looks like:

Team Leads are future leaders in training. You help create a positive park culture by showing up with energy, integrity, and care. You set the tone for the team, support park operations in real time, and step into leadership moments that help everyone succeed.

This isn't about having it all figured out – it's about having the drive to grow, the awareness to improve, and the character to lead with trust. If you're ready to make an impact, grow your skills, and lead with heart, we'd love to have you on the team.
