We’re redefining the boutique fitness experience through exceptional instruction, inspiring spaces, and an unwavering commitment to health, wellness, and joy.

Behind our success is a passionate team of individuals who bring our mission to life every day. We foster a culture of collaboration, creativity, personal growth, and shared success — where every team member has the opportunity to make a meaningful impact.

ABOUT THE ROLE

At The Collective Studios, our instructors aren’t just teaching classes—they’re creating powerful moments of growth, connection, and transformation. As we expand across locations and formats, we’re seeking a strategic, people-focused, and business-minded Director of Instructor Performance to lead the growth, effectiveness, and long-term success of our instructional organization.

This part-time leadership role is responsible for overseeing our Regional Senior Instructor team and driving the people, performance, and operational strategies that support a thriving instructor community. Serving as the leader of the instructional function, this individual will develop strong leaders, build scalable talent systems, establish performance accountability, and ensure instructor success is closely aligned with company-wide business objectives.

Rather than serving as the technical expert across every format, the Director will empower Regional Senior Instructors to lead modality-specific education, teaching standards, and instructor development. The Director will provide strategic oversight, identify organizational needs, establish clear expectations, and ensure the right resources and development opportunities are in place to support continued excellence.

This role is ideal for an experienced people leader who thrives at the intersection of talent development, operational strategy, and business performance. The successful candidate will be equally comfortable coaching leaders, analyzing performance trends, navigating challenging personnel conversations, and building systems that allow a growing team to succeed.
