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.
