Experienced Spa Manager
Scents of Serenity Organic Spa
Richmond, VA
At Scents of Serenity, we are more than an organic spa - we are a sanctuary built on intention, integrity, and genuine care. Built on the belief that true luxury is found in the balance of expertise, intention, and results, we exist to create an environment where skilled therapists and estheticians blend luxurious spa experiences with deep, intentional care. Every detail of our spa - from the products we carefully choose to the way we serve one another - is guided by respect for the mind, body, and spirit. We believe exceptional experiences begin behind the scenes, with leaders who uplift their teams, lead with humility, and understand that when people are valued, excellence naturally follows.
We are seeking an experienced and purpose-driven Spa Manager to guide the daily operations and continued growth of Scents of Serenity. This role seeks a confident, hands-on leader with a strong background in spa or hospitality management who leads with integrity, supports their team with intention, and sets clear expectations through example.
The Spa Manager plays a vital role in shaping both the guest experience and the internal culture of the spa. This position requires a leader who values professionalism, mutual respect, and healthy boundaries between management and staff, fostering an environment built on trust and accountability. A successful candidate understands the importance of collaboration across all locations, works as a unified team player, and consistently acts in the best interest of the spa.
Through thoughtful leadership, operational excellence, and a people-centered approach grounded in clear boundaries, the Spa Manager ensures that the mission, vision, and standards of Scents of Serenity are upheld while cultivating a workplace where team members feel supported, respected, and empowered to succeed.
