Spa Manager

Richmond VA

Direct Hire (or contract to hire)

About the Position

We are more than an organic spa — we are a sanctuary built on intention, integrity, and genuine care. Rooted in the belief that true luxury is found in the balance of expertise, intention, and results, we create an environment where skilled therapists and estheticians blend elevated spa experiences with deep, intentional care.

Every detail of our spa — from the products we thoughtfully select to the way we support one another — is guided by respect for the mind, body, and spirit. We believe exceptional guest experiences begin behind the scenes, with leaders who uplift their teams, lead with humility, and understand that when people are truly valued, excellence naturally follows.

We are seeking an experienced, purpose-driven Spa Manager to guide daily operations and support continued growth. This role is ideal for a confident, hands-on leader with a strong background in spa or hospitality management who leads with integrity, supports their team with intention, and sets clear expectations by example.

The Spa Manager plays a vital role in shaping both the guest experience and the internal culture. This position requires a leader who values professionalism, mutual respect, and healthy boundaries between management and staff, fostering an environment built on trust and accountability. A successful candidate understands the importance of collaboration across locations, works as a unified team player, and consistently acts in the best interest of the spa.

Through thoughtful leadership, operational excellence, and a people-centered approach grounded in clear boundaries, the Spa Manager ensures the mission, vision, and standards of the spa are upheld while cultivating a workplace where team members feel supported, respected, and empowered to succeed.
