business general manager
*READ CAREFULLY BEFORE APPLYING*
Konga Fitness & Martial Arts is looking for a *mature, highly organized, and experienced General Manager* to become the operational anchor of our facility.
*This is not a Monday-to-Friday, 9-to-5 position.*
This is a hands-on management position in a small business. We operate with a lean team and may have only *2 part-time receptionists, 1 sales staff member, and coaches* supporting the General Manager.
The General Manager is expected to oversee and personally handle any area of the business when needed. This is not a position where you simply delegate responsibilities to a large staff.
*There is no job that is too big or too small.*
You may be required to:
- Manage staff
- Work the front desk
- Handle member accounts
- Correct Mindbody
- Resolve billing issues
- Assist with sales
- Manage renewals and cancellations
- Open or close the facility
- Answer phones
- Clean equipment
- Mop floors
- Clean washrooms
- Clean vomit
- Perform any other reasonable task necessary to keep the gym operating properly
If something needs to be done, _the General Manager takes ownership and gets it done._
The goal is for the General Manager to _run Konga Fitness & Martial Arts independently without requiring the Owner to be physically present._
*AVAILABILITY*
The gym operates *7 days a week*, including mornings, evenings, and weekends.
The General Manager must have significant scheduling flexibility and be prepared to work:
- Evenings
- Weekends
- Split shifts based on business needs
This is *not a 24/7 on-call position.* However, reasonable management availability is expected while the gym is open when an important issue requires attention.

- Attendance and bookings
- Classes and appointments
- Staff and coach activity
- Membership changes, suspensions, and cancellations
- Outstanding payments and account issues
The General Manager must be comfortable _personally working inside Mindbody and correcting issues._

We have a salesperson responsible for the majority of day-to-day sales. The General Manager is responsible for overseeing the sales process and its results, including:

The General Manager must also oversee and participate when necessary in:
