AVAILABLE BEFORE 5/31/2026

Slate Pickleball Club is seeking a dynamic, service-driven Assistant General Manager to lead event execution, elevate the member experience, and support daily club operations. This is a highly visible leadership role ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, hospitality-focused environment and has a passion for pickleball, community, and premium service.

Front Desk & Bar Manager

  • Recruit, train, and supervise front desk and beverage service staff to deliver exceptional hospitality
  • Oversee daily operations of the lobby, lounge, and bar to ensure a seamless, high-end member experience
  • Manage inventory, ordering, and procurement for bar and front-of-house supplies
  • Ensure accurate use of POS and management systems for billing, events, and member services
  • Maintain compliance with liquor laws, health codes, and safety protocols
  • Address member concerns professionally and efficiently

What We’re Looking For

  • Strong leadership presence with a hands-on, team-first mindset
  • Experience in hospitality, operations, events, fitness, or club management preferred
  • Excellent communication, organization, and problem-solving skills
  • Passion for delivering exceptional customer service
  • Strong ability to work well with others

Bonus Qualifications

  • Pickleball coaching experience or playing background; willingness to develop coaching skills

Why Join Slate

  • Be part of a growing, premium pickleball community
  • Opportunity to shape programming, events, and member experience
  • Energetic, team-oriented culture with strong leadership visibility

Additional Expectations
