Lead the Center. Develop the Team. Build Future-Ready Kids.

At KidStrong, our mission is simple: build strong, confident, high-character kids who run the playground, raise their hand high in the classroom, and make friends wherever they go. Our science-based curriculum develops the whole child — Brain, Physical, and Character — and our center leaders are the ones who make that mission stick.

As an Assistant General Manager, you're an operator, the coach, the culture carrier, and the community builder all in one. You work with your General Manager to run a high-performing center — and when they're off, you're the one in charge. This is a role for someone who wants to lead, loves kids, and is ready to build something that matters.

If you're a high-energy, mission-driven leader who thrives on developing people and delivering results — read on.

Our AGM DNA

KidStrong leaders are held to a high standard — and they hold themselves to an even higher one.

Leader — You create the culture, set the tone, and lead by example every single shift.

Community Builder — You invest in the families and team members around you. You know the kids by name, the parents by face, and your coaches by what they're working on. Relationships are your competitive advantage.

Passionate — The mission isn't a tagline to you — it's why you show up. You stay focused on KidStrong's goals, bring energy to the work, and raise the bar for everyone around you.

Results Driven — You set goals, track progress, and own your outcomes. Whether it's membership growth, trial conversion, or coach development, you know your numbers and you move them.

Communicator — You listen as well as you lead. You give clear direction, deliver honest feedback, and make sure nothing important falls through the cracks — whether you're talking to a 4-year-old, a new coach, or a parent on their first trial day.

Performer — You're engaging, energizing, and bring the same high-energy presence to a staff meeting as you do to a class of 4-year-olds.

Professional — You follow through, own your results, and handle pressure with composure.

Why KidStrong

Clear growth path — Opportunity to grow from AGM → GM → multi-unit leadership
Real development investment — ongoing training, certifications, and leadership programming
A team worth showing up for — collaborative, mission-driven, zero-ego culture
Competitive compensation — salary plus performance bonus
Work that sticks — you'll see the impact on kids, families, and your team every single day
