This position requires a unique balance of public-facing influence and focused administrative precision. You will act as a central hub for wellness, shifting between a "heads-down" cubicle environment for strategic planning and a high-visibility leadership role in the field.

• Disciplined Professional

  You are comfortable working independently for part of the day, using your desk time to conduct research, compile reports, and manage complex schedules under limited supervision.

• Project Leadership

Hybrid Workflow

This position requires the ability to work independently in an office/cubicle setting for research and administration, as well as maintaining a high-energy presence in the community.

While typically a standard schedule, hours will vary when serving as the interim Fitness Director or during major special events.
