Wandercraft is looking for a dynamic and highly motivated Operations Manager to lead the expansion of our hubs across the US. The company has opened its first hub, a PT-owned clinic to deliver Atalante X treatment and patient trainings for Eve. in NYC in 2025. It now intends to replicate this pioneering model, opening multiple hubs across the US over the next couple of years.

Reporting to the VP Business Development US & Americas, this role is a hybrid of strategic planning and hands-on execution, requiring strong project management, operational expertise, and relationship-building skills. It is an extraordinary multidisciplinary position: you’ll be instrumental in partnering with Market Access and collaborating with internal (finance, marketing, clinical, HR, IT) and external stakeholders to launch and sustain new clinics and retail spaces that reflect our brand values of community, hospitality, and innovation. Hubs are more than a distribution channel: they are our proxy to patients, our reason to be as a company.

You’ll be responsible for taking each location from concept to opening day and setting them up for success post-launch to redefine rehabilitation care in the US. You will need to spend significant time at our NYC flagship hub to fully immerse yourself in our branding and culture, and to replicate it successfully in other locations. You will also expected to travel extensively on site to each hub, spending any required amount of time there to ensure success in the form of fully operational, market serving hubs.

You’re comfortable managing timelines, budgets, and vendors as well as willing to do physical tasks such as painting, building furniture, lifting heavy objects, and using power tools. You bring creativity and a sharp eye for design, ensuring the clinics and exoskeleton showrooms feel welcoming, professional, and aligned with the Wandercraft and Walk In clinic brands.

You have a knack for breaking down large, ambiguous problems into clear, actionable steps. You thrive in environments where you can take initiative and build from the ground up, and solve unexpected challenges with creativity and efficiency.
