Assistant General Manager & Social Media Coordinator
Department: Operations / Marketing 
Status: Full-Time | Non-Exempt 
Location: Kirkland, WA
Entity: Gold's Gym PNW 
Reports To: Ownership / Director of Operations
 
Position Summary
This role combines Assistant General Manager responsibilities with ownership of the club's social media and community presence. It is a single full-time position for someone who runs the day-to-day club experience while serving as the on-the-ground voice of Gold's Gym PNW.
You lead the team and deliver strong member experiences on the floor, and because you are in the club every day, you are positioned to capture the real moments that make great content. Those moments become the posts, stories, and campaigns that promote our offers, events, and member and trainer highlights across our locations.
 
Instagram is the primary platform, with TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, X, and Google as additional channels. Branded content creation using approved Canva templates is foundational to the role, supported by in-gym photo and video capture tied to campaign priorities.
 
This position is ideal for a motivated, creator-minded leader who enjoys building team culture, delivering great member experiences, and growing community connection both in the club and online.
