The posting

Regional Director of Sales & Operations

At EWC Growth, one of the largest franchisees of European Wax Center, smooth is just the start. We’re building high-performing teams, delivering elevated guest experiences, and creating a culture where exceptional leaders have the opportunity to make a measurable impact.

We’re looking for a Regional Director of Sales who knows how to turn strategy into execution. This leader will oversee a portfolio of European Wax Center locations and be accountable for sales performance, operational excellence, leadership development, and the overall health of the business across their region.

Guest Experience + Brand Excellence

  • Champion the European Wax Center guest experience across every center within the region.
  • Ensure teams consistently deliver an elevated, welcoming, and results-driven guest experience.
  • Monitor guest feedback and partner with center leadership to identify opportunities for improvement.
  • Reinforce brand standards and ensure consistent execution across locations.
