As part of Altea’s growth, you’ll lead the delivery of new club openings, operational projects, manage vendor coordination and procurement, and oversee CapEx execution. Every project will bring new challenges and the opportunity to shape the spaces and experiences that define our brand. You’ll keep multiple workstreams in motion, from vendor relationships and purchase orders to timelines and budgets, ensuring projects are delivered on time, on budget, and on brand. Collaboration is key: you’ll partner with leaders and teams across the company to keep everything aligned and moving forward. If you’re passionate about fitness and wellness, eager to learn, and have an entrepreneurial spark, you’ll thrive here. This role rewards energy, curiosity, and accountability — every day brings momentum not routine.

• Act as the go‑to coordinator between Operations, Design, IT, Marketing, and other teams to keep projects on track.
• Translate big‑picture goals into clear timelines, deliverables, and actionable plans.

• Manage procurement for furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E), including fitness gear, tech systems, and décor.
• Build strong vendor relationships to ensure quality, pricing integrity, and on‑time delivery.
• Issue purchase orders, reconcile invoices, and maintain accurate budget visibility.
• Drive cost‑saving opportunities and process improvements across procurement and supply‑chain activities.
• Coordinate post‑opening activities like system training and vendor follow‑up to ensure smooth operations.
• Document lessons learned and share best practices to continuously improve future projects.
• Communicate clearly and consistently with leadership and cross‑functional teams to maintain alignment and accountability.

Qualifications

• Post‑secondary diploma in Project Management, Business Administration, or a related field.
• 3‑5 years of experience in project coordination or management, ideally within retail, hospitality, or fitness sectors.
• Proven success in procurement, CapEx management, or multi‑stakeholder project execution. Experience and strong understanding of construction, interior design, and facilities is preferred.
• Strong financial and administrative acumen with experience in budgeting and reporting.
• Excellent communication, organization, and relationship‑building skills.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office, Smartsheet, and other project management tools.
• A proactive, entrepreneurial mindset – and genuine enthusiasm for fitness and wellness.
