- Padel Club Manager - Nottingham* PadelPlex is a new padel club group built on one idea : padel done properly.
We come from a hospitality background, our first venue is launching this year, and more sites are already secured. We're opening our first site this November : multiple courts, a show court, and a clubhouse with a café / bar and changing facilities. 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.
