About KidStrong

KidStrong is a milestone accelerator for kids ages walking through 11 years old. Our science-based, coach-led programs help kids build Strong Minds, Strong Bodies, and Strong Character.

We are a fast-growing, high-energy center in Wilmington, NC, looking for a driven, high-ownership Manager to help lead our team, grow our membership, and deliver an exceptional experience for kids and families.

About The Role

This is a hands-on leadership role at the center of our operation. You’ll take ownership of sales performance, support daily operations, and help lead the team to a high standard.

This is not an “order-taker” role. This is for someone who:

• Takes initiative without being asked
• Follows through consistently
• Holds themselves and others accountable
  
  

Success in this role comes from ownership, urgency, and consistency.

Key Responsibilities

• Deliver a confident, consultative sales experience
• Drive membership growth through strong execution and consistency
• Support community events and partnerships
  
  

Operations

• Help ensure the center runs smoothly, efficiently, and at a high standard
• Stay on top of key priorities so nothing falls through the cracks
• Build strong relationships with members and families
• Support scheduling, organization, and daily execution
  
  

Leadership & Team Development

• Lead by example and help set the tone for the team
• Coach and support team members to improve performance
• Address issues directly and proactively
• Communicate clearly and consistently with both team and ownership
  
  

Coaching (as needed)

• Coach classes and support programming when needed
• Deliver structured, high-energy classes
• Build strong relationships with families and communicate program value
  
  

What We’re Looking For

• Proven sales ability (comfortable closing and following up)
• Strong ownership mentality — you take responsibility for outcomes
• Ability to stay organized and execute consistently
• Clear, professional communication
• Positive, team-first attitude
• Comfort working in a fast-paced, high-expectation environment
  
  

Core Competencies

• High standards & accountability
• Ownership mindset (doesn’t wait to be told what to do)
• Strong follow-through
• Professional and coachable
• Organized, adaptable, and team-oriented
• Growth mindset with leadership potential
  
  

Schedule & Compensation

• Schedule includes a mix of weekdays/evenings/weekends
• Base salary (based on experience) bonus commission opportunities
• Ongoing training and development
  
  

Why Join KidStrong Wilmington?

• Be part of a fast-growing, mission-driven company
• Work in a high-energy, team-focused environment
• Make a real impact on kids and families
• Opportunity to grow into higher-level leadership roles
