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.
