Padel Club Manager

PadelPlex is a new padel club group built on one idea: padel done properly. We come from a hospitality background, our first venue is launching this year, and more sites are already secured.

We're opening our first site this November: multiple courts, a show court, and a clubhouse with a café/bar and changing facilities.

We're looking for a Club Manager to run it from day one - someone who treats the venue like it's theirs, knows their regulars by name, and drives real commercial performance while never losing the warmth of a proper welcome.

Role Highlights

• Full ownership of Nottingham Club - P&L, team, standards and the day-to-day experience.

• Drive court utilisation and revenue, working closely with our CEO on performance.

• Build the club's community from scratch - regulars, socials, corporate days, events.

• Take on short-term oversight of our unstaffed ‘Plex Local’ sites nearby as we grow.

• Genuine progression as PadelPlex expands - including a future Area Manager route.

What You'll Be Doing

• Running Site One day to day - courts, café/bar, changing facilities, the lot.

• Recruiting, training and leading a team who deliver a proper welcome, every time.

• Owning court utilisation, costs and revenue against targets.

• Getting to know your regulars - names, faces, the usual booking.

• Travelling regularly to our unstaffed Plex Local sites to check standards and troubleshoot.

• Reporting to the CEO on performance, issues and opportunities.

What We're Looking For

• Experience managing a hospitality, leisure or sports venue, ideally with P&L responsibility.

• A genuine host - someone who thinks about the welcome, not just the schedule.

• Confident leading and developing a team, and happy to be hands-on when it's busy.

• Flexible to work evenings, weekends and any 5 days out of 7.

• Full UK driving licence and your own car - essential, for regular travel to other sites.

• Padel, tennis or racket sports experience is a bonus, not a requirement.

What's In It For You

• £30,000–£40,000 depending on experience, plus performance bonus.

• The chance to shape a fast-growing brand from its first site.

• Staff discounts

• Real scope for progression as we open further sites across the Midlands.
