Job Description

Client Experience Associate (CXA)

Reports To: Client Experience Manager

About the Role

The Client Experience Associate (CXA) is the hospitality and service leader for a designated market of studios (typically 3 to 5 locations). The CXA ensures the client journey is flawless, consistent, and aligned with premium brand standards.

As a visible, field-based leader, you guide front-of-house teams, spot opportunities to elevate service, and step in to resolve escalated client concerns. You help every studio deliver a polished, welcoming, and consistent experience while supporting operational flow and team culture.

You are in the heart of the action every day, guiding in real time, shaping the studio environment, and setting the standard for service excellence across your market. The ideal CXA thrives in fast-paced settings, leads with empathy, and takes pride in lifting both teams and client experiences to their highest potential.

Focus

1. Customer Experience (CX) & Hospitality

• CX Performance: Act as the primary support of CX performance trends and execution within your market.
• Fitting & Journey Observation: Observe fittings and front-end operations to ensure every client interaction meets premium brand standards.
• CX Workshops: Lead 4 annual quarterly workshops (and additional sessions if needed) per shop to reinforce excellence, address gaps, and celebrate wins.
• Feedback & Evaluation: Review CX workshop points with staff, providing coaching where standards fall short and acknowledging where expectations are exceeded.
  
   

2. Daily Operations & Studio Maintenance

4. Field Presence & Auditing

• Communication Log: Maintain a Notion log of findings, wins, and improvement opportunities to keep the SAM and leadership informed.
