Job description

Description:

Scenthound is a revolutionary, fast-growing wellness-focused dog care concept. We aren't your typical traditional grooming shop—we focus on routine care and preventative hygiene (Skin, Coat, Ears, Nails, Teeth - our S.C.E.N.T. Check) to keep dogs healthy and happy. We are expanding and opening a brand-new "Scenter" in South Denton located in the Hickory Creek Plaza, next to Kroger. We are looking for an entrepreneurial, high-energy leader to build our pack from the ground up and grow with our team!


Position Overview:


As the Scenter Manager, you will be the driving force behind the success of this brand-new location. Ultimately, you will have operational and P&L responsibility for the Scenter. You will oversee safety standards, client experiences, schedule utilization, inventory management, and the continuous coaching and career pathing of your team.


Key Responsibilities:
  • Scenter Profitability & Growth: Manage and optimize all Scenter Scorecard KPIs, including member retention, trial conversions, rebook rates, and service/product add-on sales.
  • Safety & Compliance leadership: Maintain strict adherence to all Scenthound safety protocols. Conduct daily Scenter Safety Walkthroughs to ensure a double-barrier environment, proper tool handling, and accurate canine stress-response evaluation.
  • Team Leadership & Development: Lead engaging and impactful "Daily Huddles." Manage career progression pathways for your Front-of-Scenter (FoS) and Back-of-Scenter (BoS) teams using our structured skill maps.
  • Operations & Schedule Optimization: Oversee daily schedule management in MyTime, handle payroll, review daily room checklists, audit cash handling, and manage pending membership cancellation or pause requests.
  • Customer Experience: Act as the primary point of escalation for customer service issues, ensuring a reliable, trust-building environment for our dog parents.
Requirements & Qualifications:
  • Experience: 2–4 years of successful management experience in retail, fitness, hospitality, or service industries (membership-based sales models or pet-care industry experience is a major plus).
  • Sales Acumen: Proven track record of hitting sales targets, overcoming objections, and executing local community outreach.
  • Leadership Skills: Strong ability to recruit, motivate, and hold a diverse team accountable to performance and brand standards.
  • Dog Loving: Comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and breeds, and deeply committed to animal health and wellness.
  • Technical Savvy: Proficiency in cloud-based booking software (MyTime experience is a plus), CRM lead-management tools, and basic dashboard metrics.
  • Operational Excellence: Exceptionally organized, self-motivated, and capable of managing administrative tasks (scheduling, ordering, inventory) alongside hands-on floor leadership.
What We Offer:
  • Competitive starting base salary of $50,000.
  • Uncapped incentive bonus structure tied directly to key performance metrics (Membership growth, Trial conversions, and Scenter Profitability).
  • Career advancement opportunities within a rapidly expanding brand.
  • Discounts on Scenthound services and products for your own furry family members.

  • Recruiting & Leadership: Demonstrated ability to source, interview, hire, and build a high-performing team from scratch.
  • Technical Savvy: Proficiency in using cloud-based booking and point-of-sale software (such as MyTime) and CRM lead-management tools.
  • Business Operations: Solid understanding of business dashboards, tracking Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), and driving overall store profitability.
