TPS2838
\nStudio Manager - Abu Dhabi

\n\n

THE BUSINESS
\nA long-established premium wellness studio in Abu Dhabi, known for precision-led training, refined aesthetics and a discerning client community. The business is now entering a major expansion phase, opening a flagship studio in one of Abu Dhabi's busiest locations, and building the team to scale with it.

\n\n

THE ROLE
\nThe Studio Manager owns the daily operating standard of the new flagship studio and runs it end-to-end on the floor, with support from HQ. In a high-traffic, high-demand location, the role is to keep the studio premium, smooth and consistently excellent across every touchpoint - front desk, instructors, F&B and bar, client experience, retention, and in-studio events. A hands-on leadership role for someone who has managed a boutique studio or comparable premium operation, and who thrives when a venue is busy.

\n\n

— Own the day-to-day running of the studio, from opening and closing procedures to the atmosphere, cleanliness and presentation that make a premium environment feel considered
\n— Manage a high-demand schedule with discipline — capacity, waitlists, no-shows and cancellations — so the studio stays calm and premium at peak
\n— Set and hold front-of-house service standards, including membership and intro conversations at the desk
\n— Run the F&B and bar offer to a premium standard — service quality, upsell, stock, cash handling and daily presentation
\n— Coordinate and lead the on-site team of instructors, front-of-house and F&B staff, onboarding, training and coaching to embed brand standards
\n— Deliver an exceptional client experience across every touchpoint, recognising members, handling feedback with grace and supporting retention, reactivation and referral growth
\n— Own in-studio events and activations end-to-end, from planning to execution, and build relationships with local businesses and brands to identify valuable partnerships
\n— Take ownership of the controllable drivers of studio performance: occupancy, intro and membership conversion, retention, reactivation, and retail, F&B and front-desk upsell
\n— Manage accurate operational reporting, working to HQ-agreed targets and flagging issues and opportunities early
\n— Hold the standard consistently across every shift, including when not physically present

\n\n

Position: Studio Manager
\nLocation: Abu Dhabi (new flagship studio, high-traffic location)
\nReporting Line: Reports to the Head of Operations (COO)
\nTeam Size: Leads an on-site team of under 10
\nSalary: Competitive package
\nVisa: Employment visa sponsored
\nBenefits: Medical insurance in line with company policy
\nEmployment Type: Full-time, on-site
\nStart: Immediate / flexible for the right candidate

\n\n

THE CANDIDATE
\nThe right person is a hands-on, commercially minded operator with a premium hospitality mindset — someone who notices the details, takes ownership without being asked, and stays calm and structured when the studio is at capacity.

\n\n

— Proven experience managing a boutique studio or comparable premium operation, across people, operations and commercial performance
\n— Strong commercial and financial literacy — comfortable owning and reporting on occupancy, conversion, retention and revenue drivers
\n— A premium hospitality mindset and the temperament to stay steady in a busy, high-demand environment
\n— Strong people leadership — coordinating, coaching and holding standards for instructors and front-of-house teams
\n— Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
\n— A hands-on, ownership mentality — noticing what needs to be done and acting without prompt
\n— F&B or bar operations experience is a strong asset, as the studio operates a bar
\n— A genuine interest in wellness is welcome; previous Pilates or Reformer familiarity is a plus, not a requirement
