Instruction & Floor Leadership
Instruct a high volume of classes per week, maintaining the same standard of excellence expected of every JETSET instructor
Provide real-time feedback, encouragement, and form corrections for clients of all levels — from first timers to long-term members

Oversee and develop Studio Leads — providing training, guidance, and feedback to ensure a cohesive and high-performing front-of-house team
Facilitate new client onboarding, welcoming and integrating newcomers into the JETSET community with intention and care
Review Net Promoter Scores periodically and take action on detractor feedback in partnership with the GM
Support daily studio operations — stepping in as acting GM as needed and contributing to scheduling, reporting, and operational continuity
GM & Ownership Partnership
Provide regular updates to the GM on instructor pipeline, talent development, and floor operations — surfacing risks and opportunities proactively
Contribute to the documentation and continuous improvement of studio policies, processes, and playbooks
