Pottery Studio Assistants often juggle multiple responsibilities, including maintaining equipment, preparing clay, assisting instructors, and helping students. One common challenge is managing time effectively during busy studio hours, especially when classes overlap or multiple projects require attention.

Additionally, assistants may occasionally encounter technical issues with kilns or wheels; proactively learning basic maintenance and troubleshooting can minimize disruptions.

To thrive as a Pottery Studio Assistant, you need a solid understanding of ceramic techniques, clay handling, and basic studio maintenance, typically gained through hands-on experience or relevant coursework. Familiarity with pottery wheels, kilns, glaze mixing, and safety procedures is essential, and some studios may prefer candidates with first aid certification. Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and a collaborative attitude help you support artists and maintain a productive workspace. These abilities ensure the studio runs smoothly, fosters creativity, and maintains a safe, welcoming environment for all participants.

Assistant Studio Manager

Orangetheory - Franchise #0288

Arlington, VA • On-site

$18 - $22/hr

Full-time

Posted 5 days ago


Job description

Be fit. Change lives. Have fun.
A little quiz: What do Batman and Robin, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,  Hermoine Granger and Harry Potter, and Venus and Serena Williams have in common? 
Answer: Each member of the pair makes the other stronger.
That’s how it is with an Orangetheory Studio Manager and Assistant Studio Manager (ASM). They’re a doublet, a duo, a dyad. And while the manager is ultimately in charge, without that able-bodied sidekick, the studio wouldn’t run nearly as smoothly. 
So if you’d like to be half of such a pair, to know the ropes as well as you know your members’ names, to step in when your manager steps out, to balance each other’s strengths, to set goals and surpass them...then Orangetheory just might be looking for you. 
We Offer
  • We provide substantial paid training, certifications, and support to ensure your success
  • Compensation includes competitive base pay, commission, and performance bonuses
  • Free Studio Membership
  • Product discounts
  • Flexible schedule that works around educational or personal goals
  • Fitness casual dress-code
  • Passionate, collaborative work environment
  • The opportunity to learn every aspect of the business to eventually become a Franchisee or Business Owner if desired
Every day will be different, but you’ll be representing the Orangetheory brand as you share the science of this workout you want everyone to love as much as you do.
Maybe you’ll use this post as a stepping stone in your management career, or perhaps this is where you want to be forever. But if you’ve been at even one Orangetheory class, you feel the warmth, the enthusiasm, the genuine sense of being where you need to be — feelings you’ll be hard-pressed to find anywhere but here.
Specific job duties and selection requirements vary between Orangetheory studio locations and more details can be provided by the studio’s hiring manager if you are selected to move forward in the interview process.
