What is KidStrong?

KidStrong is a science-based training program that helps kids win at life. We build strong, confident, high-character kids by developing the whole child—body, brain, and character—through high-energy, coach-led classes. Our program serves ages walking through 11 years old and accelerates milestones through expert coaching, cutting-edge curriculum, and strong parent partnership.

At KidStrong, we're growing fast and making a lasting impact—and we're looking for a driven, dynamic Center Director to lead our team, grow our membership, and deliver an exceptional family experience.

The Role: Center Director

As the Center Director, you'll be the driving force behind sales, operations, and team leadership at KidStrong. You'll lead membership growth efforts, optimize center operations, and develop a high-performing team culture that aligns with our mission. You'll wear many hats—but always with purpose and impact.

This is not your typical 9-to-5. It's a fast-paced, leadership role built for someone who thrives on accountability, loves to engage with families, and leads with both heart and hustle.

Key Responsibilities

Drive new membership growth through high-volume outbound sales efforts (100+ calls/week typical)

Own the full sales pipeline—manage inbound leads, book and convert trials, follow up with prospects

Track and exceed KPIs across trials, conversions, revenue, and communication metrics

Develop marketing events at a local level to drive lead generation campaigns, community activations, and local partnerships

Deliver a mission-aligned sales experience that builds trust and communicates value to families

Ensure the center runs smoothly, professionally, and on-brand every day

Oversee front desk systems: check-ins, guest / trial registration, transactions, delinquent account follow-up, customer care, and schedule changes

Collaborate with the Coaching Team to ensure aligned execution of classes and programs

Manage scheduling, budgets, center cleanliness, and compliance with KidStrong policies and operational standards

Respond promptly to corporate, owner, and member requests

Hire, train, and develop team members

Lead by example—model professionalism, drive, and mission-driven performance

Maintain strong internal communication about trial families, member needs, team updates, etc.

Foster a team culture rooted in ownership, accountability, fun, and continuous improvement

Who You Are

A bold, confident leader—you think like an owner and inspire others to do the same

Driven by results—you thrive in a sales-forward, performance-based environment

Highly organized and adaptable—you balance structure with agility and always move with urgency

A natural communicator—you build trust, give clear feedback, and coach others to grow

Passionate about kids, families, and creating positive change—you want your work to matter

Qualifications

• 2–4+ years of leadership experience in sales, fitness, education, or service-based roles

• Proven experience with outbound phone sales and CRM systems (100+ calls/week preferred)

• Track record managing KPIs, revenue, scheduling, payroll, and team performance

• Strong tech proficiency—comfortable using Microsoft Office, Google Office, web apps, etc.

• Bachelor's or associate degree in business, education, or related field preferred

• Availability to work at least 3–4 weekday evenings and 1-2 weekend day(s)

• Bonus: Experience in children's fitness, enrichment programs, or center-based operations
