As our founding Spa Manager, you'll be building the spa from the ground up: hiring the founding team, setting the tone for guest experience, and shaping what "Woodhouse Highland Park" means.

Onboard and Develop Talent

• Demonstrate service and guest-experience expectations firsthand

What We're Looking For

• Current or former Woodhouse Spa Manager experience is a strong plus and we'll make relocation to the North Shore worth your while
• Experience in a spa, retail, hospitality, or cosmetics management position
