He or she will develop, plan and implement new procedures and methods to help the Y reach its goals.
We want someone who can be a guiding light for our membership staff and members. You might be the right candidate if...
- You are a communicator, diplomat and social butterfly. You love being around people, but you are not a "people pleaser." Instead, you can implement and enforce rules fairly and assertively, handle member complaints with pose and grace, and show respect, compassion and positivity in any situation.
- "Customer service" is your middle name (not legally, but it's a moniker you've adopted over the years). You are deliberate, observant and innovative, helping the Y implement strategies that support member recruitment and retention. You are great at solving problems or, better yet, avoiding problems before they happen. Your welcoming and listening-first approach helps you create a member-focused culture, and you work to model relationship-building in all your interactions.
- You are a leader, and you have experience recruiting, hiring, training, evaluating, motivating and managing staff and volunteers. You feel comfortable scheduling and supervising our customer relations staff members as well as the Child Watch coordinator.
- While you are not a salesperson exactly, you understand that selling the Y's programs, facilities and cause is a large part of your job. You feel confident promoting and extolling the finer points of fitness classes, membership, ice programs, swim lessons and much more. And friend, you know how to give a tour!
- You are tech savvy, detail oriented and process focused. You have the ability to learn our registration software and member management system (ActiveNet), navigate our website and app, and organize, monitor and assess forms and documents with the best of them. You have a close relationship with procedures and policies, but you can adjust to meet the needs of the community you serve. Oh, and you even enjoy a bit of budgeting now and then.
- You understand that the Y is not just a gym and the people who come through our doors are not just members. They are a community of like-minded individuals who see the Y as a second home, as a second family. You know that at the end of the day, this job ensures people have a supportive, inclusive place to help them reach their goals and stay connected with others. And you can't wait to get started.
