Saltbox makes the hardest parts of running a small online business simple. Our workspaces transform into modern and flexible office spaces with warehouse suites, and all the perks needed to help small businesses grow. Our Members run small to medium sized eCommerce businesses within a diverse group of industries including Fashion & Apparel, Health & Beauty, Entertainment, Electronics and Household Goods. You can help a small business local to your area!
We're looking for an Location Manager to support our Members' success by ensuring our warehouses run smoothly. You thrive on handling a variety of tasks, take pride in solving challenges, and have experience leading teams to enhance customer experiences. Though our locations resemble warehouses, this role offers the chance to empower small business owners and make a direct impact.
Role Purpose
The Director of Workspace ensures every Saltbox location operates with discipline, consistency, financial strength, and a reliable member experience. This role directly leads our Market Leaders and is responsible for the operational and financial performance of each location.
While the VP of Operations drives the future of the Workspace product, the Director owns the executional engine that powers it — translating strategy into predictable, consistent operations across the network. This person ensures that every location runs effectively, hits the same standards, and produces the same quality experience for our Members.
This leader builds high-performing Market Leaders, enforces operational standards, drives P&L performance, and represents Workspace in cross-functional alignment across the business.
What You Will Own
- Leadership of Market Leaders — Build a strong, accountable, high-performing leader bench. Develop MLs into confident operators who execute with clarity and consistency.
- Operational Consistency and Quality Across Markets — Create and uphold the unified Saltbox operating system: SOPs, rhythms, quality standards, workspace operations, and workflows.
- P&L Ownership — Drive NOI performance through labor planning, occupancy strategy, expense discipline, staffing decisions, and operational execution.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration — Partner closely with Facilities, Fulfillment, Sales, Parsel, and Finance to ensure seamless handoffs, aligned expectations, and shared accountability.
- Member Experience Leadership & Escalations — Ensure each location delivers a consistent, high-trust member experience in alignment with experience principles. Lead escalations requiring senior operational judgment while coaching MLs to prevent recurrence.
- Capability Development & Training Enforcement — Ensure all training, systems, and standards created by Operational Excellence and the Workspace Coordinator are implemented, reinforced, and adopted across MLs and their teams.
Success Measures
This role ensures the Workspace network meets or exceeds:
- Revenue: Workspace revenue growth, service revenue, and local sales execution
- Expenses: Labor discipline, controllable expense management, and NOI targets
- Operational Metrics: Standards adherence, workflow compliance, labor efficiency, uptime of operational systems
- Sales Metrics: Tour conversion, occupancy performance, execution of sales workflows, churn
- Member Experience: Member NPS and retention trends, quality of operational execution
Who Thrives in This Role
- A systematic, structured leader who builds clarity and consistency
- An emotionally intelligent coach who develops other leaders
- A high-performance operator with strong financial instincts
- Someone who can balance detail with strategic oversight
- A leader who can set expectations, enforce standards, and build trust
- Someone who adapts quickly, leads calmly, and solves problems with maturity
Preferred Experience
- 7–12+ years leading multi-site operations
- Proven success driving P&L outcomes
- Experience managing managers (not just frontline teams)
- Strong operational systems and standards background
- Ability to build cross-functional alignment in fast-changing environments
- Clear communicator with high accountability and leadership presence
