Job Description

Company Description

Kelly Strategic Ventures (KSV) is a rapidly growing, family-owned operator of Slick City indoor slide parks, led by entrepreneurs Mike and Annie Kelly. Following the success of Minnesota’s first Slick City location in Maple Grove and the launch of our second park in Woodbury, KSV is actively building a multi-park platform. With five additional locations in development and a clear vision to operate 10+ parks within five years, we are scaling with intention.

Our mission is simple: Create exceptional guest experiences and build an institutionally excellent operating company.

Role Description

To support our next phase of growth, we are seeking a Chief Operating Officer (COO) / Integrator to partner directly with ownership and ensure disciplined execution using Traction (EOS) principles.

This leader will translate vision into execution across all current and future parks. The COO / Integrator will design and institutionalize operating systems, drive operational excellence, and ensure consistent financial and guest-experience performance across the portfolio.

Why This Role Is Different:

You are not stepping into a mature corporate structure-you are architecting the operating backbone of a rapidly scaling platform. Your fingerprints will be on everything- systems, culture, leadership standards, expansion playbooks. We are disciplined enough to care deeply about institutional processes, financial rigor, and EOS execution. We are ambitious enough to pursue 10+ parks in five years- and beyond. If you’ve ever wanted to help transform a high-performing entrepreneurial venture into a professionally run, multi-location platform- this is your chance.

Key Responsibilities

Platform Leadership

• Oversee performance of all current and future KSV Slick City parks

• Own consolidated operational P&L performance across the platform

• Serve as the central integrator of priorities, data, and accountability across the organization

Operational Excellence

• Build scalable, repeatable, institutional-grade SOPs

• Drive consistency in safety, cleanliness, and guest satisfaction

• Improve unit economics, margins, and operational efficiency

• Identify and execute revenue growth opportunities

• Lead new park launches, ramp-ups, and operational stabilization

Talent & Culture

• Lead, coach, and develop General Managers and park leadership teams

• Recruit and retain top-tier operational talent

• Build a high-accountability, high-care culture aligned with KSV values

• Establish clear role clarity and performance expectations across locations

EOS / Traction Execution

• Partner with founders to clarify vision, priorities, and long-term growth strategy

• Implement and maintain EOS disciplines, including:

  • Rocks and quarterly planning
  • Scorecards and KPIs
  • Level 10 Meetings
  • Accountability charts

Qualifications:

• Proven success in a multi-unit operations, COO, Integrator, or senior GM leadership role

• Demonstrated ownership of P&L performance and operational scaling

• Experience implementing structured operating systems (EOS/Traction strongly preferred)

• 7+ years of leadership experience in: Hospitality, Retail, Family entertainment, Franchise or multi-location consumer businesses

• Bachelor’s degree preferred (or equivalent leadership and operational experience)

Compensation & Long-Term Opportunity 

• Base Salary: $80,000 – $150,000 annually (commensurate with experience and scope)

• Year 1 Performance Bonus: Target range of 25% – 50% of base salary, tied to operational, financial, and growth milestones

• Equity-Style Upside: Potential opportunity for equity participation in future parks after two years of demonstrated performance and the proven ability to independently run and scale operations

• Clear path toward full operational leadership of a rapidly expanding multi-location platform
