Job description

The NOW Massage and Bowie Barker are two lifestyle brands under the Post Investment Group family, which focuses on four sectors; health and wellness, real estate, consumer products and pet services. This role will contribute to the growth of both brands under the Post Investment Group umbrella.

The NOW was designed as an oasis to disconnect from the outside world and reconnect within. The NOW’s goal is to offer high-quality, customizable massage services without the time commitment and cost of a traditional spa. The NOW’s interiors have been recognized by press and influencers for its elevated aesthetic, inspired by exotic destinations from around the world. With 75+ boutiques currently open from coast to coast and steady expansion on the horizon, The NOW is looking forward to bringing its thoughtfully crafted menu, healing products and signature design to cities all over the United States.

Bowie Barker Bath + Groomerie offers personalized services for every pup. Born out of the necessity for high-quality care that dog owners can trust, Bowie Barker’s customizable offerings range from full-service grooming to self-serve wash stations for every size dog. Bowie Barker updates the traditional grooming experience with a convenient booking app, health checks, sustainable products, and more for its members and guests. Following its franchise launch in 2023, Bowie Barker currently has four locations open with additional shops in development nationwide.

As both brands continue to grow, we are looking for passionate individuals to continue to help build the future of wellness. If you are ready to take the next step in your career, we would love to hear from you.
