Lead Zone Facilitator

The Role (Straight Talk)

You are the on-floor standard setter. As a Lead Zone Facilitator, you ensure our activity zones run safe, smooth, and high-energy, especially during busy periods. You don't sit behind a desk and you don't "manage from the sidelines." You lead by being present, decisive, and calm when things get hectic. When you're working, the floor should feel noticeably better.

What You're Responsible For (Outcomes, Not Tasks)

• Zones stay staffed, organized, and moving
• Transitions happen without chaos
• No dead zones, no confused staff, no long backups
• Safety & rule enforcement: safety standards are applied consistently, unsafe behavior is corrected immediately, escalations are handled calmly and correctly
• Supporting Zone Facilitators: coach in the moment, model what "good" looks like, help new staff ramp quickly, address weak performance early
• Energy & guest experience: kids stay engaged and confident, parents know who’s in charge, issues are handled without drama, the experience feels intentional, not chaotic
• Escalation & communication: handle most issues independently, escalate incidents properly and promptly, keep Ops Manager informed — no surprises
