We’re looking for a Club Manager to run it from day one – someone who treats the venue like it’s theirs, knows their regulars by name, and drives real commercial performance while never losing the warmth of a proper welcome.
Role Highlights
- Full ownership of Nottingham Club – P&L, team, standards and the day-to-day experience.
- Drive court utilisation and revenue, working closely with our CEO on performance.
- Build the club’s community from scratch – regulars, socials, corporate days, events.
- Take on short-term oversight of our unstaffed ‘Plex Local’ sites nearby as we grow.
- Genuine progression as PadelPlex expands – including a future Area Manager route.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Running Site One day to day – courts, café/bar, changing facilities, the lot.
- Recruiting, training and leading a team who deliver a proper welcome, every time.
- Owning court utilisation, costs and revenue against targets.
- Getting to know your regulars – names, faces, the usual booking.
- Travelling regularly to our unstaffed Plex Local sites to check standards and troubleshoot.
- Reporting to the CEO on performance, issues and opportunities.
What We’re Looking For
- Experience managing a hospitality, leisure or sports venue, ideally with P&L responsibility.
- A genuine host – someone who thinks about the welcome, not just the schedule.
- Confident leading and developing a team, and happy to be hands-on when it’s busy.
- Flexible to work evenings, weekends and any 5 days out of 7.
- Full UK driving licence and your own car – essential, for regular travel to other sites.
- Padel, tennis or racket sports experience is a bonus, not a requirement.
What’s In It For You
- £30,000–£40,000 depending on experience, plus performance bonus.
- The chance to shape a fast-growing brand from its first site.
- Staff discounts
- Real scope for progression as we open further sites across the Midlands.
