The Yoga Movement Area Manager is wholly responsible for the inner workings of their assigned studios, including but not limited to, all facets of Team Management, Service Training and Team Development, Studio Upkeep and Management.

The Area Manager is ultimately responsible for how their studios look, feels, presents, smells, etc.

Whilst working in line with the company's branding and long-term goals, the Area Manager will own their studio's operational needs and ultimately be responsible for the client's experience in their space.

It is a requirement of the role to place themselves at each location every week, splitting their time as they see fit.

**Client Services & Management (30%)
The Area Manager is the go-to client-facing representative of Yoga Movement.

They will drive the implementation of YM's brand standards and customer service training programs, providing motivation, and sharing good vibes to create a positive and professional working environment.

They are to ensure that Front Desk team are knowledgeable, inspired, and have an enjoyable experience working with us.

We run on an extremely high customer service focus in the business.

We do not have binding memberships or contracts, which implies that we need to provide great service every time to ensure that our clients keep coming back.

The Area Manager will be responsible for structured onboarding and hands-on trainings with the team to ensure all Front Desk staff are armed with the full scope of technical and product knowledge relating to YM, and fully capable to handle customer-based enquiries or challenges at their studio, including but not limited to:

Maintaining the YM Service Standard for all front desk staff and ensuring a great client experience in the studios
Maintaining replying to queries promptly, filing, and communication (no tardy replies)
Maintaining a strong phone etiquette
Ensuring a very positive yet relaxed demeanour for our front desk staff... we are confident (sometimes cocky), but we are polite, energetic, engaging, and fun.
Maximising the capacity of each practice room, managing waitlists, third party booking sites and other day to day tasks as efficiently as possible.

Whilst we have more of a relaxed 'sales focus' at YM, the Area Manager will be responsible for ensuring that the Front Desk staff are well versed on:

Current promotions and supporting sales lines (i.e., how to break it down for the customer and list benefits)
The YM App and Web
Our CMS booking system and thirdparty booking systems

**Scheduling & Team Management (40%)

The Area Manager is wholly responsible for the operations of their respective studios to ensure they run smoothly and in line with YM brand standards.

This includes efficient scheduling of the Front Desk and Teaching teams for their studio needs, ensuring the teams work in tandem to provide the best client service experience possible, as well as team management, and oversight of performance management and professional growth via close partnership with the HQ team.

This will also require development of strong policies around leave, shift swaps and cover management to ensure studio operations are never at the mercy of an individual's schedule changes.

This role will be responsible for monitoring and optimising headcount requirements at the various studios, implementing planning and foresight to ensure that the studios are always sufficiently staffed with a well-trained, on brand team.

They will collaborate with HR on recruitment, hiring, onboarding processes and disciplinary functions for all team members - teachers and front desk - under their purview.

Ultimately, the Area Managers have hands-on involvement in the development and standards of the Front Desk team, but also have guiding input on the teaching team's individual advancement opportunities.

They will work closely with the Academy & Training Manager for shortlisting of mentorship or career advancement opportunities by contributing feedback on team spirit, initiative and working attitude, to ensure that the most deserving team members grow with the company.

**Studios Management (30%)

The Area Manager must ensure that all studio facilities are well maintained, and general housekeeping (Daily Grind) and tidiness are up to up to standards (it's the first thing our clients see and it's the Area Manager' responsibility to ensure it's looking good).

Upkeep of the studios must be dealt with quickly and cost effectively, with clear channels for escalation and timelines for repairs and maintenance.

Be resourceful and employ common sense around breakages and things that need to be fixed. Area Managers are also to ensure that all merchandise displayed at their studios are well maintained well and kept neatly in the appropr
