Director of Operations

DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS, SWEAT DC

SWEAT DC is a five-studio fitness brand, four in DC and one in Baltimore, built on the idea that everyone belongs in a gym. We’re growing fast, and we need someone to own the day-to-day so our founder can focus on culture and vision.

WHAT YOU’LL OWN:

• Consistent operations across all five studios, same experience every visit
• Studio managers and front desk teams: hiring, coaching, performance
• Retention systems: save calls on cancels and pauses, at-risk member follow-up
• Labor management and scheduling: coach pay, class coverage, hitting labor targets by studio
• Budgets, labor, and P&L awareness by studio
• Building and documenting processes in Trainual so knowledge stops living in one person’s head

WHAT YOU BRING:

• Five-plus years running multi-unit operations.
• Fitness, hospitality, restaurants, or schools all count
  
  You’ve managed budgets and led managers before
• You’re a systems person who loves making things repeatable
• You care about people and the experience they have
• You genuinely love fitness. You’ll work out, be part of the team, and show up like everyone else

SCHEDULE, READ THIS CAREFULLY:
This is not a nine-to-five operations job. We’re open seven days a week, 365 days a year. Classes run from 6 AM to 7:30 PM, and we run events on top of that. Expect early mornings, evenings, and weekends, roughly one weekend day most weeks. This is a hybrid role: you’ll be in studios a lot, around the team and members, with some flexibility to work from home when the schedule allows.

If you need a predictable Monday-through-Friday desk job, this isn’t it.

COMP: $85,000 base plus performance bonus, up to $100,000. Full benefits.

LOCATION:

DC metro, with regular travel between studios.
