Reports to: Studio Area Manager

About the Role

We are hiring a Studio Experience Coordinator to serve as the operational heartbeat and client experience owner of our New York studios.

This is a high-performance, high-touch leadership role for someone who thrives in fast-paced, service-driven environments where standards are non-negotiable and experience is everything.

You will lead the flow of the studio from the front, owning the client journey, operational execution, and real-time coordination between our front-of-house experience team and master tailoring specialists.

Why This Role Is Different

At alts, we are not running a traditional retail or alterations business.

We operate at the intersection of:
Elevated service experience
Precision craftsmanship
High-volume operational execution
Deep client trust and personalization
Every client interaction is intentional. Every detail matters. Every experience is designed to feel elevated, seamless, and human.

This is a role for someone who has already mastered high-touch service environments and is ready to step into true operational ownership of a studio experience.

Ensure adherence to structured ticketing, tracking, and workflow systems
Partner closely with tailoring leadership to ensure timelines and expectations are met

Team Coordination & Culture

Act as the on-the-floor leader setting pace, tone, and operational discipline
