Job Title: Vice President, Operations & Experience - Team Sloomoo

Reporting to: Co - Founder Sara Schiller

Salary : $150,000 - 180,000

Position/Location: NYC HQ-based with extensive travel (In-Office Four Days a Week)

Schedule: Work week is Tuesday - Saturday. Thursday - Saturday expected to be in the field at one of your assigned locations.

Sloomoo celebrates joy through an interactive experiential world, focused on slime, hands-on play, and all things #satisfying. Sloomoo launched in October of 2019 with an immersive 12,000 square-foot experience in Soho, NYC, where hand-crafted, artisanal slime (dozens of textures and the most delicious scents), soothing ASMR, and wondrous delights (you can slingshot slime, walk on slime, design your own slime, and more) converge with glossy, contemporary design.

Sloomoo's universe has expanded - there are now a total of 5 Institutes (NYC, LA, Houston, Chicago, Atlanta) and two MiniMoos (Boston, Philadelphia) with more to come.

MiniMoos are smaller than the Institutes but packed with as much color, surprise, and play.

The brand has been featured in People Magazine, Vogue, the Today Show, the Kelly Clarkson Show, the Tamron Hall Show, Forbes, INC, and more.

The mission: Deliver joy, whether you're a kid or kid-at-heart.

The Vice President, Operations & Experience, is the senior-most leader responsible for how the Sloomoo interactive experience performs, scales, and evolves across all locations and digital channels. This role owns the long-term health of the experience, balancing guest joy, team experience, and financial performance as the company grows.

Reporting to the Co-Founders, the VP sets the vision and standards for how Sloomoo's interactive experience comes to life from in-venue moments to ecommerce touchpoints and ensures the organization, leadership structure, and operating model are built to support that vision. This role leads through senior operators rather than direct execution and is accountable for enterprise-level outcomes.
