• Supporting JETSET On The Mat community classes and creating memorable guest experiences.
• Capturing leads and helping build a strong founding member community.
• Creating engaging local social media content alongside the marketing team.
• Generating excitement and awareness leading into opening day.

• Continuing to build partnerships that drive referrals and new memberships.
• Supporting local events and ongoing community engagement.
• Partnering with the General Manager to drive membership growth and studio goals.
• Following up with prospective members and supporting lead conversion.
• Delivering an exceptional member experience during in-studio shifts.
• Supporting front desk operations while helping create a welcoming, elevated studio environment.
