Leap Brands

Senior Executive

The Mission

We are looking for a high-energy, battle-tested SVP of Operations to lead the charge in scaling our fitness empire. You aren't just managing gyms; you are orchestrating an elite member experience across [Number] locations while ensuring our bottom line is as lean and powerful as our top athletes.

As the SVP of Operations, you will own the operational strategy, P&L performance, and leadership development for our entire portfolio. You are a master of systems, a mentor to regional leaders, and a visionary who can turn "gym floor challenges" into "scalable solutions."

Key Responsibilities

Strategic Leadership: Develop and execute the annual operational roadmap to drive membership growth, retention, and ancillary revenue (PT, retail, juice bars).
Operational Excellence: Standardize "The [Company Name] Way." Ensure every club meets gold-standard benchmarks for cleanliness, equipment maintenance, and brand consistency.
Financial Stewardship: Own the operational P&L. You’ll be responsible for budgeting, labor cost management, and capital expenditure (CapEx) planning for facility upgrades.
Team Performance: Oversee a hierarchy of Regional and Area Managers. You are responsible for building a high-performance culture that attracts and retains top-tier fitness talent.
Member Experience: Monitor Net Promoter Scores (NPS) and member feedback loops to relentlessly improve the "front-to-back" gym experience.
Scaling & Growth: Partner with the Real Estate and Development teams to oversee the operational launch of new sites (de-risking the "Grand Opening" phase).

Who You Are

The Strategist: You see the big picture but can spot a broken towel-service process from a mile away.
The Coach: You believe in "leadership by walking around." You inspire your team to hit targets they didn't think were possible.
The Analyst: You make decisions based on data, not just "gut feelings." You understand $LTV$, $CAC$, and $EBITDA$ like the back of your hand.
The Culture Carrier: You live and breathe fitness. You understand that our product isn't just weights and cardio—it’s transformation.

Qualifications

Experience: 10+ years of progressive leadership experience in multi-unit operations (Fitness, Hospitality, or Retail preferred).
Scale: Proven track record of managing at least [Number] units or a [Dollar Amount] revenue portfolio.
Education: Bachelor’s degree in Business, Sports Management, or a related field; MBA is a significant plus.
Tech Savvy: Familiarity with club management software (e.g., ABC Fitness, Mindbody), CRM tools, and advanced financial reporting.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability Form CC-305
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
