Founding Store Manager

About Amp
****
amp is redefining human potential through the world’s most intelligent strength training ecosystem. We replaced the traditional weight room with a single, data-driven device that utilizes proprietary adaptive resistance technology to provide real-time feedback and AI-powered coaching. As we launch amp Retail, we are looking for Founding Leaders who aspire to not just manage a store but to be a part of building something special. We are redefining the future of strength—and we want you to shape it.

The Role
As our Founding Store Manager, you are the face of amp in your community. You are the architect of the customer experience, responsible for transforming curiosity into obsession. This is not a role for someone who needs a playbook—it is a role for someone who writes one. You will build our culture, cultivate a local community of high-performers, and lead the charge in establishing amp as the cornerstone of premium strength training in your market.

What You Will Do

• Architect the Experience: Serve as the primary ambassador for the amp brand. You will curate an immersive, high-energy environment that brings our technology to life, ensuring every visitor experiences the power of AI-coached, adaptive resistance training.
• Cultivate Community: Spearhead outreach strategies that go beyond the four walls of the showroom. Build deep, lasting partnerships with local athletic clubs, boutique studios, fitness influencers, and corporate wellness programs to embed amp into the local fitness ecosystem.
• Master the Story: Translate complex technology—such as real-time biometrics, digital weight, and AI-driven form correction—into deeply personal, benefit-driven narratives that resonate with every level of athlete.
• Lead a High-Performance Team: Recruit, mentor, and inspire a world-class team of fitness consultants. Build a culture rooted in product obsession, consultative relationship-building, and an authentic passion for the science of training.
• Manage for Impact: While you will maintain full ownership of the store’s P&L and operational health, you will lead through the lens of growth, optimizing labor and local marketing investment to ensure the showroom is a profitable, thriving hub of activity.
• Champion Feedback: Act as the direct conduit between the consumer and our corporate product team. You will play a critical role in shaping the future of our hardware and software by reporting on local trends, customer insights, and pipeline health.

What We Are Looking For

• Experience: 3–5 years in premium retail leadership, boutique fitness, or fitness-tech experience.
• The "Founding" Mindset: A background in high-caliber brands (e.g., Peloton, Equinox, Apple, Nike, Lululemon) is preferred. You are comfortable with ambiguity, energized by the startup environment, and have a track record of building or launching something from the ground up.
• Data-Driven Passion: You don't just "work out"—you are personally committed to a structured, data-informed fitness. You know how to use metrics to train smarter, and you can teach others to do the same.
• Relationship Builder: You have an innate ability to create word-of-mouth. You understand that sales is an outcome of trust, community engagement, and genuine connection.
• Recruitment Magnet: You know how to spot top talent and have a proven history of developing team members who grow alongside the business.
