Team Management at Ladder means owning the strategy, systems, and standards that make a Ladder Team work. This isn't account management. It's running a business inside a business, with real autonomy and real numbers attached to it.<h2>🪜 About Ladder</h2><ul><li>Ladder is the #1 iOS strength & conditioning app. We deliver custom weekly workout plans with in-workout coaching, progress tracking, and a tight-knit fitness community.</li><li>We've scaled fast — thanks to strong retention, smart unit economics, and a product people love.

You'll always have more coaches, teams, and good ideas than hours, and deciding what gets your week is the job. When a number moves, up or down, you don't stop at reporting it - you go deep to find out why, then you fix it or you scale it. You're comfortable owning an outcome, and comfortable telling a coach something they don't want to hear. You move fast, but nothing sloppy gets past you. You'd rather build the system than work the queue.The Foundation<ul><li>2+ years in business operations, program/project management, or account management</li><li>A current fitness certification (NASM, NSCA, ACE, or similar)</li><li>You know good programming from bad - you can analyze a week of workouts and say whether it holds up</li><li>You can pull data, read it, and diagnose what's actually driving it</li><li>You pick up tools fast - Google Workspace, Amplitude, and Claude, plus our in-house systems</li><li>You can build and analyze your own surveys</li><li>You thrive in fast-paced, high-agency environments</li></ul>The Mindset<ul><li>Member obsessed - you lose sleep over anything less than 5-star reviews</li><li>Diagnostic and data-backed - you find what caused it, and you can prove it</li><li>Final line of defense - organized and detail-oriented to a fault, nothing ships to members that you wouldn't put your name on</li><li>Systems-minded - you thrive inside structure and leave it better than you found it</li><li>AI-native - you use it to take on things you couldn't before, not to grammar check email</li><li>High agency - you don't wait for permission to solve problems</li></ul><h2>🎯 Why join Ladder?</h2>The Business<ul><li>Well capitalized (Series B)</li><li>Profitable unit economics with disciplined growth</li><li>Big ambition: building a household name beyond fitness that our peers and children recognize in a decade</li></ul>The Culture<ul><li>High-performing team that wins the right way</li><li>"Let you cook if you have the chops" environment</li><li>Veteran team focused on customer problems and fast execution</li></ul>The Benefits<ul><li>Competitive salary + equity</li><li>Full health benefits (medical, dental, vision)</li><li>Unlimited PTO</li><li>New company computer and hardware</li><li>Austin HQ with remote flexibility (US time zones)</li><li>Paid fitness certifications and continuing education relevant to your role</li><li>Monthly gym membership stipend</li><li>Free Ladder membership for you and your family</li><li>Fully-stocked gym @ Ladder HQ</li></ul><h2>💪 Ready to build the future of fitness?</h2>If you're a 10x Operator who wants real ownership, real numbers, and the closest thing to a personal MBA we can offer - we'd love to meet you.
