Specialist, Pre-Open Sales and Events

About Bouldering Project 

Bouldering Project is more than a climbing gym—we’re a community. We’re driven by a shared belief: that climbing, movement, and connection should be accessible to everyone. From first-timers to seasoned climbers, families to fitness enthusiasts, and our own teammates—we create inclusive, inspiring spaces where people move, grow, and belong. With world-class climbing, yoga and fitness offerings, and welcoming community spaces, we’re proud to serve 14 locations in nine markets across the U.S.—and we’re just getting started. 

About the Role 

As a Membership Ambassador (Pre-Opening) at our new St. Paul location, you will play a key role in building our community before the gym even opens. You will be the first point of contact for future members, sharing the vision of Bouldering Project and helping people join as founding members. Through outreach, events, and one-on-one connections, you’ll represent the heart of our mission: creating meaningful spaces for people to move, connect, and grow together.

What You’ll Do 

Job duties may include, but are not limited to:

• Achieve and exceed presales membership targets.
• Promote Bouldering Project throughout the St. Paul community.
• Host engaging events for prospective and founding members.
• Enroll new members in-person at the presales center and over the phone.
• Manage and track presales leads with care and accuracy.
• Build strong, lasting relationships with founding members and community partners.
• Support outreach events, including hardhat tours and community gatherings.

 What You’ll Bring 

• Outgoing, approachable personality and a passion for community building.
• Strong communication skills and comfort speaking with individuals and groups.
• Excellent organizational skills with attention to detail.
• Energy and enthusiasm for engaging with new people every day.
• Adaptability and drive to work in a dynamic, start-up style environment.
• Interest in climbing, fitness, or community-building a plus.

Working at Bouldering Project 

At Bouldering Project, we aim to cultivate excitement for movement, belonging, and community. We lead by example—making our spaces and offerings accessible and welcoming to all. Our core values—Inclusive, Quality-Obsessed, Local at the Core, and Growth-Oriented—are expected to be demonstrated in both leadership and daily operations. These values guide how we build community, deliver exceptional experiences, and continually evolve together.

Compensation & Benefits
This is a Temporary, Non-Exempt role created to fuel the energy and momentum leading up to our grand opening.

If you’re excited to stay connected, you’ll have the opportunity to apply to vacancies as they come up and continue your journey with BP.
