What You’ll Do:

• Lead all daily operations of a high-volume family entertainment facility
• Create a safe, welcoming, and inclusive environment for children and families
• Support programs designed for children of all abilities and backgrounds
• Manage, coach, and develop a large multi-department team
• Drive revenue through memberships, events, partnerships, fundraising opportunities, and community programs
• Build relationships with schools, community organizations, and local partners
• Oversee budgets, labor, financial performance, and key operating metrics
• Maintain the highest standards for safety, cleanliness, and guest experience
• Create a positive, mission-focused team culture

What We’re Looking For:

• 5+ years of leadership experience in nonprofit, children’s services, family entertainment, recreation, hospitality, or a related field
• Experience working directly with children and family-focused programs required
• Nonprofit experience strongly required
• Experience managing teams of 20+ employees

• Ability to balance guest experience, team leadership, and financial performance
• Understanding of budgets, labor management, P&L, and KPIs
• Proven ability to hire, train, coach, and inspire teams
• Passion for creating an inclusive environment where children and families thrive

This is not a desk job — we are looking for a compassionate, energetic, hands-on leader who understands both mission and operations.

If you have a passion for serving children and families while leading a growing organization, we would love to connect!
