About The Position

Join our team if you love creating memorable experiences, building genuine relationships, and driving growth!

Our premium indoor facility is more than courts—it’s a lifestyle destination where sport, connection, wellness, and fun collide.

We’re looking for an energetic, relationship-driven Sales Leader who is passionate about selling, motivated by meaningful commission opportunity, and understands that great sales start with exceptional service and authentic connections. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who wants to be at the center of the action. You’ll spend time selling, building relationships, engaging with members, and supporting the daily operation of the club.

Requirements

• A natural salesperson and relationship builder who genuinely enjoys connecting with people and creating opportunities.
• Motivated by goals, results, and a strong commission opportunity.
• Confident leading sales conversations, conducting tours, overcoming objections, and asking for the sale.
• Energized by a fast-paced, social, high-touch environment where no two days are exactly the same.
• Comfortable moving between proactive sales outreach, member engagement, hospitality, and day-to-day club operations.
• Strong communicator with excellent follow-through, organization, and problem-solving skills.
• Someone who takes ownership, brings positive energy, and leads from the front.

• Build genuine relationships with prospective and existing members, turning first visits into long-term memberships and loyal advocates.
• Own the sales journey from initial inquiry through conversion, while creating a personalized experience that reflects the Union Padel Club brand.
• Develop corporate partnerships, community relationships, and local outreach opportunities that generate new leads, memberships, and club awareness.
• Proactively engage with members to identify opportunities to increase participation, introduce programming, and drive additional revenue.
• Collaborate with programming, coaching, and operations teams to develop clinics, leagues, social events, tournaments, and experiences that support membership growth and club utilization.
• Be a visible leader on the club floor—greeting members and guests, answering questions, solving problems, and creating an energetic and welcoming environment.
• Support daily club operations and front-line service as needed, helping ensure the club is running smoothly and every member interaction reflects our hospitality standards.
• Track sales activity, follow up consistently, and use data and performance insights to identify opportunities for growth.
• Help create a culture where sales and service go hand in hand and every team member understands their role in growing the club.
