Assistant Manager

Assistant Manager Position at Squeeze

We're Squeeze, a feel-good company, from the Founders of Drybar. Squeeze was designed to revolutionize the massage experience, from our forward-thinking technology to our dedication to team member experience. We are focused on the human side of business, and we work to foster an inclusive environment, where everyone can shine bright. It's so important that we've made it our company mission to be the best part of our guests' and team members' day.

Our revolutionary app-based booking and payment platform makes scheduling, paying, tipping, and rating easy, breezy, Squeezy. Similar to Postmates and Uber, after a Squeeze massage, instead of dealing with a clunky, stressful checkout process, our guests simply float out with the ability to tip and rate their therapist at their leisure post-massage. Personalized services allow guests to select massage preferences as well as control in-room settings from lighting to sound, all in a beautifully designed space. It's a completely fresh approach to a way better massage experience.

Meet Your Manager, Emma Diaz!

Hi hi! If my team were to describe me, they would say I am always happy, laughing, and available. I know that each team member is an individual and needs to be treated with respect, and it's my job as a manager to get to know each person and learn to speak their language. It's my job to adapt to their way of thinking and working, so I am able to make a stronger connection with each person. I am a firm believer that it is not what I say, but how I say it and how I make others feel. Overall, I cannot run this shop without my team. I always make sure the Squad feels appreciated and understands that they are the heart and soul of this business!

Three words that describe the culture of our shop are empathetic, structured flexibility, and teamwork. If I were a dog, I would be a golden retriever! I love being anywhere near the beach, sun, and nature, and I love the image of a golden retriever running around in the grass on a sunny day. My favorite song of all time is Dancing in the Moonlight by King Harvest – it always puts me in a good mood and gets me pumped up.
