Club General Manager | Union Padel Club Build a Club. Build a Community. Build Something New.

, we're building more than a place to play. We're creating a destination where people come to compete, connect, socialize, and belong.

We're looking for an energetic, hospitality-driven Club General Manager to lead the club and help bring that vision to life. This is a highly visible, hands-on leadership role for someone who loves people, thrives in a fast-paced environment, and believes great businesses are built one relationship at a time.

If you're an entrepreneurial leader who loves hospitality, community, sports, and creating something from the ground up, we'd love to meet you.

Bring the Club to Life Through Programming & Events

  • Create a calendar of experiences that gives members reasons to visit the club beyond playing padel.
  • Partner with the food & beverage team to create memorable events and activations.
