Revenue Innovation & Business Intelligence Manager
About the role
Join Lakeshore Sport & Fitness, Chicago’s premier destination for sport, fitness, and fun, and become part of a vibrant community with a supportive culture focused on continuous improvement and celebration. This role is designed to transform how we think about revenue across our clubs. As the Revenue Strategy & Business Intelligence Manager, you will uncover opportunities others aren’t seeing and leverage AI, data, and business insights to help our clubs make better decisions and generate more revenue.
This isn’t a traditional reporting role. You’ll work directly in the clubs and alongside club leadership to understand what drives membership, programming, personal training, food & beverage, events, retail, and other revenue streams. You’ll turn data into clear, actionable insights, helping leaders understand performance, identify missed opportunities, and determine next steps. Using AI tools and emerging technologies, you’ll automate reporting, analyze trends, improve forecasting, and build innovative ways of looking at our business.
The ideal candidate is a business strategist, data storyteller, and AI innovator who constantly asks: What are we missing? What could we do differently? Where is the next dollar of revenue going to come from? We value analytical thinking, commercial mindset, curiosity, comfort with ambiguity, and excitement about using technology to fundamentally change how a business operates. This is a hands-on role for someone who wants to be in the business, not behind a spreadsheet.
