POSTED ON 5/3/2026

Are you someone who naturally elevates every environment you step into? Do you take pride in creating seamless, thoughtful experiences while leading a team with both structure and warmth?


We are seeking a Front Desk / Office Manager who will play a key leadership role within the studio—overseeing front-of-house operations, supporting team development, and working closely with leadership to ensure the business runs smoothly and efficiently.


This role carries a strong emphasis on refining systems, elevating the client experience, and setting a new standard for front desk excellence.
