Operations Manager – The Ninja Gym (Collierville, TN)

At The Ninja Gym, our mission is to help kids of all ages develop a love of fitness, and the discipline and determination to overcome obstacles on the course and in life. We’re growing, and we’re adding a leadership role focused on running the gym day to day, so every family leaves saying, “That was awesome!” Our team lives by four core values: Teamwork, Ownership, Impact and Great Attitude.

Read this first. This job is probably not for you if:

You need a fully remote job. Plenty of the admin work can happen from home, but when the gym is busy, you need to be in it.
A Saturday full of birthday parties and excited kids sounds exhausting, not fun.
You’d rather keep doing things the way they’ve always been done than help figure out a better way.
You’re not open to learning new technology. You don’t need to be a tech person, just willing to learn, including AI.
It might be exactly right if:

You light up around kids and families, and you want to be in the building where the energy is.
You’re organized and you follow through. When you say you’ll handle it, it gets handled.
You like leading people, especially young staff who are still learning how to work.
You notice how things could run better, and you enjoy making them better.
You’re curious about AI and excited to learn the systems we already run on it.
What you’ll own

Day-to-day operations and events: staff scheduling, birthday parties, camps, Parents’ Night Out, open play, mobile courses, the facility and supplies.
Leading and developing our young staff team.
Our systems. Much of our back office already runs on AI-powered workflows. You’ll learn them, run them and make them better.
The family experience: making sure every parent feels welcome and gets answers fast.
Being a key team player who helps drive the gym’s overall success, including supporting sales conversations and family communication.
Helping lead some big projects as we grow, working directly with the owner.
The schedule

This is a full-time, in-person role. Most of your time lands in the afternoons and evenings, when the gym comes alive (think 10–6 or 11–7), with room for an early morning to knock out admin. You’ll work alternating weekends, depending on party load. When the gym is open, including evenings and weekends, you’re reachable on Slack.

What you get

$50,000–$55,000 base depending on experience, plus performance pay
Direct mentorship from the owner, who will invest real time in your growth
Real room to grow into a bigger leadership role for the right person
A job where your day includes kids cheering for each other
