About Us
We're hiring a General Manager to lead full club operations and need an experienced recruiter or LinkedIn headhunter to source, screen, and shortlist strong candidates — we'll handle final interviews and the offer ourselves.
The Role We're Hiring For
General Manager (Beirut, on-site, full-time)
Senior operational leadership role overseeing day-to-day club operations, P&L and budgeting, staff management, member experience, marketing/community engagement, and use of our internal management systems. Reports directly to ownership.
We're open to candidates from operations/hospitality/facilities-management backgrounds even without direct fitness-industry experience, provided they have strong P&L ownership and team leadership at scale. Full JD and comp details will be shared with shortlisted candidates.
What You'll Do
- Source GM candidates via LinkedIn (Recruiter or Sales Navigator preferred) and any other channels effective for the Lebanese/MENA market
- Screen candidates for operational leadership experience, P&L ownership, team management scale, and stakeholder/regulatory experience
- Conduct a brief initial screening call/message with promising candidates to confirm interest, availability, and fit
- Deliver a shortlist of qualified, interested, screened candidates (target: 3–5)
- Coordinate scheduling for our team to run final interviews
What We're Looking For (in you)
- Proven recruiting/headhunting experience in Lebanon or the wider MENA region, ideally including senior/executive-level placements
- Active LinkedIn sourcing skills (Recruiter Lite/Sales Navigator experience a plus) and active Recruiter subscription
- Ability to judge fit for operations/GM-level profiles — reading P&L exposure, team size managed, and seniority signals accurately
- Fluent in Arabic and English
- Clear, responsive communication and reliable turnaround
