The Project Manager will be based in the DC/Maryland/Virginia area and will lead the planning and execution of new studio openings, relocations, brand refreshes, and other high-impact, operations-driven projects. While your core focus will be managing the launch of new [solidcore] studios, this role is designed to flex across a variety of strategic initiatives that fuel growth, improve processes, and enhance the overall studio experience. You’ll serve as a central driver of cross-functional alignment, ensuring that every project is delivered with clarity, efficiency, and operational excellence.
Responsibilities:
- Leading the execution of complex, cross-functional projects — including new studio openings, relocations, and brand refreshes — with clear plans, timelines, ownership, and accountability.
- Building and maintaining project overviews, team governance structures, schedules, and progress tracking tools using Asana and Siterise.
- Setting clear objectives, milestones, and success metrics for each initiative; proactively managing deadlines and deliverables.
- Staying plugged into broader business goals (e.g. member growth, staffing, training, brand standards) to ensure project alignment and cross-functional coordination.
- Driving change management efforts, including piloting and rolling out new tools, systems, and processes that improve operational efficiency.
- Anticipating resource needs and flagging risks early to ensure smooth execution and minimal disruption to the business.
- Acting as a liaison for the Operations team, partnering closely with cross-functional groups to ensure alignment and operational support across all initiatives.
- Adapting communication styles to meet the needs of different stakeholders; holding teams accountable through influence, transparency, and strong relationship-building.
- Mentoring others on operational best practices in project management, process improvement, and change adoption.
- Contributing to project post-mortems to assess performance, document learnings, and improve future rollouts.
Requirements:
- A project manager’s mindset with an operator’s instincts — you’re equally comfortable building timelines and rolling up your sleeves to get things done.
- Strong experience driving execution across teams, timelines, and tools in a fast-paced, ever-changing environment.
- Confidence in managing ambiguity, solving problems proactively, and adapting plans when roadblocks arise.
- A deep understanding of how operations, people, and customer experience intersect — and the ability to balance them all in your decision-making.
- Excellent communication skills that make it easy for you to drive alignment, gain trust, and influence across a variety of stakeholders.
- High attention to detail and pride in delivering polished, thoughtful work.
