Job Summary
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Head Coach & Academy Manager
Full-Time | Coaching + Management + Profit Sharing + Path to Ownership
We are seeking an experienced and motivated Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Coach and Academy Manager to take an active leadership role in operating a full-time martial arts academy.
This is not simply a position teaching classes. We are looking for someone who wants to build a career, grow an academy, participate in its success, and have the opportunity to work toward future ownership.
Position Responsibilities
The Head Coach/Manager will be responsible for the day-to-day success of the academy, including:
- Teaching high-quality Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes for children and adults
- Leading beginner, advanced, competition and family programs
- Creating a positive, professional and motivating academy environment
- Developing students technically and helping them progress through the curriculum
- Building strong relationships with students and families
- Following up with prospective students and helping convert trials into memberships
- Improving student attendance and retention
- Helping grow overall academy enrollment
- Managing instructors and support staff
- Maintaining cleanliness, organization and professional academy standards
- Assisting with events, promotions, seminars and competition-team activities
- Taking responsibility for the overall performance and growth of the academy
What We Are Looking For
We are looking for someone who sees coaching as a profession and long-term career, not simply an opportunity to teach a few classes.
The ideal candidate is dependable, professional, energetic, good with both children and adults, comfortable communicating with parents and prospective members, and capable of becoming a leader within the academy.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu experience and strong teaching ability are important, but so are leadership, communication, accountability and the desire to grow a successful business.
Management and sales experience are beneficial but can be developed in the right candidate.
Compensation & Growth Opportunity
This position is designed differently from a traditional coaching job.
Compensation can include:
Base Salary + Performance Bonuses + Profit Sharing
For the right person, there is also a long-term opportunity to earn or purchase an ownership interest in the academy based on performance, commitment and growth.
Our goal is to find someone who wants more than a paycheck. We want to develop an individual who can eventually have a financial stake in the business they help build.
The Opportunity
If you have dreamed of owning a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu academy but don't necessarily have the capital, systems, location or experience to start one from scratch, this position provides an opportunity to learn the business while building something that can potentially become partially your own.
We provide the established academy, programs, systems, support and business foundation.
You bring the leadership, coaching, work ethic and desire to grow it.
Job Type
Full-Time
Compensation structure will be based on experience and qualifications, with additional performance-based and profit-sharing opportunities.
To Apply: Please submit your resume along with a short description of your Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu background, coaching experience, management experience and your long-term goals within the martial arts industry.
Pay: $26.01 - $41.33 per hour
Benefits:
- Employee discount
- Flexible schedule
- Gym membership
- Professional development assistance
Work Location: In person
