Musicians Playground Boston studio manager position

Now Hiring

STUDIO MANAGER & MEMBER EXPERIENCE LEAD

Lead the Member Experience at Boston's Gym for Musicians

Part-Time / Downtown Crossing, Boston / $27.50–30/hr

Are you someone who thrives in hospitality, boutique fitness, wellness, retail, or community-centered environments where relationships genuinely matter?

Do you enjoy helping others, solving problems, bringing calm to fast-moving environments, and creating spaces where people feel genuinely welcomed, cared for, and excited to return?

Are you excited by the opportunity to help grow a meaningful, mission-driven business while stepping into a leadership role with room for long-term growth?

If so, you may be exactly who we're looking for.

About Musicians Playground

We're Boston's first and only "gym for musicians," a vibrant adults-only music community designed for people who want more joy, creativity, confidence, and connection through music. Our 3,000 sq ft Downtown Crossing studio offers private lessons, group classes, performances, and corporate events, plus unlimited practice access for members.

Our members come to us to reduce stress, rediscover play, build confidence, and reconnect with parts of themselves they haven't had time for in years. They're growth-oriented, kind, and genuinely excited to be here, which makes this one of the most rewarding hospitality roles in the city.

The Role

You'll lead day-to-day member experience alongside another part-time Studio Manager and our leadership team. The work blends hospitality, sales, light operations, event support, and team coordination.

A typical day might include welcoming members, giving a studio tour to a prospective member, following up with leads, supporting a teacher between lessons, helping prep for a Friday happy hour, and keeping the space looking beautiful. No two days are identical, and that's part of what makes it fun.

  • An eye for design and a real care for how spaces feel.
