The District Manager role at CorePower Yoga is a crucial leadership position responsible for overseeing a district comprising multiple CorePower Yoga studios. This full-time position focuses on driving the financial growth and profitability of the district, while delivering an exceptional yoga experience aligned with the company’s mission and standards. A District Manager acts as a leader of leaders, mentoring and developing a diverse team of studio leaders who support the students and communities within their studios. Key responsibilities include creating and implementing district-level strategies to meet financial, operational, and student service goals tailored to the strengths and needs of each studio, managing business operations through analytics and strategic planning, and ensuring cost management and expense control. The position requires active collaboration with senior leadership and the execution of remote operating systems that enhance team cohesion across the district.

Operational excellence and branding are central to this role. The District Manager ensures that studios consistently deliver a world-class yoga experience, maintaining high standards of quality and aligning with CorePower’s mission. This includes facilitating effective communication, coaching, monitoring health and safety protocols, and supporting physical asset management, including vendor relations and maintenance. The role also emphasizes leadership in team engagement, recruitment, training, performance management, and succession planning, establishing a high-performing and rewarding work environment.

At least three years of experience in multi-unit leadership roles, preferably within CorePower Yoga or similar organizations, is highly desirable. Proficiency in Microsoft Office and related computer applications is required.

This role is based in Chicago and requires the ability to commute within the local market and occasionally out of state for company events. A reliable transportation means daily travel between studios is essential.
