Job Description

WHY JOIN ALO?

Mindful movement. It’s at the core of why we do what we do at ALO—it’s our calling. Because mindful movement in the studio leads to better living. It changes who yogis are off the mat, making their lives and their communities better. That’s the real meaning of studio-to-street: taking the consciousness from practice on the mat and putting it into practice in life.

OVERVIEW

In a constantly evolving retail environment, the Director of Retail Go-to-Market and Change Management is the ultimate steward of what meets the stores. As the final gatekeeper, this role ensures that no initiative, regardless of functional origin, gets delivered to the field without a crystal-clear executable plan behind it. This leader works across communications, training, onboarding, events/meetings, and field sponsors to orchestrate a singular, cohesive voice and rollout for all store-facing change.

You will champion and enforce disciplined rollout practices, transform raw or incomplete partner inputs into fully scoped launch plans, and ensure stores globally can absorb change without disruption to the business. Building consistency is at your core, driving consistent execution globally to our operating model and guest experience through aligned written communication, digital training courses, videos, live events and weekly field messaging.

Inspiring and engaging our teams is your north star. This role will evolve our communication strategies and tools to motivate our teams, give them pragmatic tools to execute, and speak to them in a way that resonates and drives a sense of purpose and success. This role is at the heart of how our retail business evolves. You will influence strategy, manage complexity, and ensure that the boldest ideas land with clarity and impact.
