New York Pilates
Instructor Talent Lead (Player‑Coach) – NYC
3 days ago Be among the first 25 applicants
We’re hiring a community‑embedded, working Pilates instructor in NYC who’s excited to help shape the next generation of NYP instructors. This is a true player‑coach role: you’ll spend about 50% of your week teaching on our studio floor, and the other half building our instructor community – sourcing and meeting great talent, interviewing, and running in‑studio auditions to bring the right people into NYP.
This isn’t a corporate recruiting job. It’s a relationship‑driven, community‑forward position for someone who cares about craft, culture, and raising the bar – and who’s always thinking, “Who should we meet next?”
What You’ll Do
Build the pipeline: spend time in the NYC Pilates community (online + IRL) meeting instructors, spotting talent, and consistently sourcing strong candidates.
Be a brand ambassador: take classes at other studios, show up in the community, and sell the NYP style, standards, and culture to prospective instructors.
Hand off to recruiting: source and refer certified, eligible candidates who are ready for audition and hire, based on quarterly pipeline goals set by leadership.
Own auditions end‑to‑end: schedule and confirm auditions, manage on‑site flow and candidate experience, and partner with recruiting to score and select talent.
Teach 20 hours/week: lead NYP reformer classes with our signature programming on a consistent schedule.
Plan with recruiting: stay aligned on hiring needs, pipeline priorities, and timelines so sourcing efforts match what we need next.
What Success Looks Like
You consistently deliver a strong flow of certified, eligible instructor candidates who are ready for audition and hire, hitting quarterly pipeline goals set by leadership.
Auditions run smoothly and feel on‑brand; candidates are prepared, the experience is organized, and the recruiting team has what they need to make clear decisions.
What You Bring
Deep roots in the NYC Pilates/fitness community and a natural ability to meet people, build relationships, and spot great talent.
5+ years teaching Pilates with a strong reputation for quality instruction and professionalism.
Comprehensive Pilates certification (400+ hours) and experience teaching group reformer on 8+ machines.
Live within 15 miles of the market and can reliably teach 20 hours/week on a consistent schedule.
Comfort leading in‑person auditions / talent days (or similar live evaluation environments); organized, calm, and candidate‑friendly.
Strong communication and follow‑through: you’re responsive, organized, and able to keep a pipeline moving.
A proactive, people‑first mindset - you thrive in a fast‑paced studio environment and represent the NYP brand well in the community.
Why You’ll Love Working for NYP

Competitive Pay – $90,000‑110,000; full‑time staff also receive PTO, medical, and 401k
