Studio Manager – BFT Hawthorn

Full-time | Hawthorn VIC

At BFT Hawthorn, we believe people deserve more than just a workout. They deserve coaching, connection, and to feel truly seen. That’s why our team identity is built around the ethos to Coach. Connect. Care. Creating a space where everyone can grow, physically, mentally and emotionally.

We’re looking for a Studio Manager who will live and breathe this ethos, ensuring every member and every team mate feels supported, celebrated, and inspired.

Who You Are

• A people person – it’s at the core of who you are. You thrive on connection and no job is too big or too stressful.

• An excellent coach – you don’t need to know everything, but what you do know you can teach with clarity and confidence.

• A finisher – tasks aren’t left open-ended; you execute to a high standard every time. Member requests get answered within 24 hours, EDMs land in the right tone, studio comms go out on time, and you move through admin systematically with a keen eye for detail.

• Growth mindset – you can coast through tasks, or you can lean in, take feedback, and grow into the kind of leader who makes real impact. We’re after the second type.

• Social media savvy – you understand our language and who we’re speaking to. You can get cut through without just following dances and trends. Video filming and editing will be a key part of the role.

• Sales smart – in our world, sales is simply understanding people and solving their problems. You’ll follow scripts and processes to ensure every enquiry gets the care it deserves.

• The conduit for new members – you’ll oversee the intro journey, ensuring new members feel guided, supported, and ready to continue long after their intro period.

Experience

• Cert III & IV required.

• Prior experience in a group training environment is a bonus, not a must.

• Experience with people is non-negotiable. Not just “I like people” – but others look at you and say “wow, they can relate to anyone.”

• Prior sales or admin experience is highly favoured.

Why Join Us?

• Top 10 Most Improved studio of the year (twice!).

• Growth isn’t just a buzzword. We ALL lead, we take on feedback, and we move forward together.

• Impact beyond four walls. Collectively in the last two years we’ve raised over $25k for charities including Polished Man, Minus18 and QPlus.

The Role

• Oversee daily studio operations with precision and pride.

• Drive member growth and retention through genuine connection and structured processes.

• Support marketing through content and messaging that reflects who we are.

• A mix of on-floor coaching (minimum 20 hrs) + off-floor admin, sales, and retention work.

• Uphold The BFT Hawthorn Way (You’ll receive in the hiring process)

• KPI and bonus structure linked to net growth.
