Job description

Acrotrix Education Development Manager

(Part-Time to Start | Full-Time Once You Prove It Works)

First things first — what this role is not.

This is not a job for someone who wants to keep an already ticking system ticking.

It’s not about managing what exists.

It’s definitely not about “maintaining courses.”

This is a role for someone who wants to build something.

What this actually is

An opportunity to take Acrotrix’s teacher training division from “running in the background” to

📈 strategically driven,

💡 product-led, and

🔥 a genuine education powerhouse.

You’re not here to teach the course.

You’re here to create the next ones, connect the community, and build the machine that builds the teachers.

Why now?

Right now, education at Acrotrix “just happens.” Courses sell each week. People like them.

That’s not enough.

We believe the education side could become its own business division.

This role is the first step toward that.

You’ll create new products, reactivate old high-level ones, build community, and own the growth of a division that could one day stand alone.

The Setup

Phase 1 – 6 Months (Part-Time | 25 hours / week)

Build momentum. Prove growth is possible. Show where this can go.

Phase 2 – Full-Time (37.5 hours / week)

Scale it. Lead it. Own the growth trajectory.

Salary: £34,000 full-time equivalent. (Part-time pro rata during Phase 1.)

Your Impact Will Look Like This

You’ll be in charge of making things happen. Practically, that means :

📚 Launch New Courses

Create and lead development of new Acrotrix teacher training products – from Advanced Tumbling to Hand Balancing to Pre-School, Partnering, and anything we haven’t thought of yet.

🔄 Reactivate Our ‘High Ticket’ Power Courses

They worked before. They’ll work again. You’ll make the restart happen.

👥 Build the Teacher Community

Through Facebook, Skool, events, connection, or something better you come up with.

💻 Reinvigorate the Teachers Portal

Make it living, breathing, and truly valuable – with regular content drops and resource leadership.

🔬 Improve, Optimise, Future‑Proof

Re-record syllabus content. Improve course assessment models. Explore accreditation. Design better spotting support. Look into AI if that makes it smarter.

🚀 Grow Revenue

This isn’t about spreadsheets. It’s about movement. Your work should lead to more teachers enrolling, staying, and levelling up.

What You’ll Need

Experience (one or more of) :

• Created or developed a training or educational programme before
• Worked in sports coaching, performing arts training, vocational education, L&D, or something similar
• Took an idea from “draft” to “live” and “selling”
• Seen how education can drive business

Who You Are

• Structured thinker with creative spark
• Growth-focused, momentum-driven
• Likes taking ideas to execution
• Brave enough to say “this could be better” and persistent enough to fix it
• Low ego, high energy
• Happy to collaborate with experts to build something better than anything one person could do

Acrobatics / gymnastics knowledge is a bonus, not a barrier.

If you’ve got the right brain and attitude, we’ll bring you the experts.

6‑Month Activation Targets (AKA your fast‑track to full‑time)

Within your first six months, we’d expect you to have achieved something like :

• 2 new course frameworks built (with at least one launched / revenue‑tested)
• Reactivation of at least one ‘high ticket’ course format
• Education Product Roadmap created (next 12–18 months)
• Teacher community movement started (platform chosen & action underway)
• Partnership exploration active (college, franchise group, bulk education provider)
• Early signs of revenue growth — or a clear path to it

Hit those? You can go full‑time.

Miss them? We figure out what’s blocking progress and adjust with you (not to you).

🏢 Where You’ll Work

Hybrid.

• If close enough to Watford, 2–3 days / week at HQ.
• If based further away, 2–3 days / month + travel support.

Some travel to academies for filming, course insight, or events may happen.

Who You Report To

Directly to the CEO.

You’ll collaborate with our Master Trainers, Operations Team, Marketing, and Student Services when relevant.

Why This Role Will Matter To You

Because you’ll see the direct impact of your work in :

• Teachers & Coaches feeling more confident.
• New courses they never would have delivered without your direction.
• Better education materials.
• A community that didn’t exist before.
• And ultimately… in the number of coaches who teach acro safely, powerfully, and with passion because you built the system that got them there.

Final Check

This is for someone who wants to create and grow something. Not just manage it.

✅ Apply if…

You’re already thinking about what you’d build first.

❌ Do NOT apply if…

❌ You’re waiting for someone to tell you what to do.

Ready to grow an education division that genuinely reshapes how acrobatics is taught?

We’re ready to build it with you.
