About the role

Description supplied by the original job listing.

Welcome to Lava Island!
Lava Island is more than a destination—it’s a world of color, energy, and adventure. Kids bounce across trampolines, dive into foam pits, and disappear into jungle gyms that stretch like secret passageways. Towering slides send laughter soaring, the café buzzes with families sharing pizza and funnel fries, and birthday songs echo from every corner. It’s the kind of place where memories happen without warning—and where both kids and parents feel like they’ve stepped into something magical.
That energy carries into what it’s like to work here. We’re all in for our guests and for each other. We work better together, lifting as a team. We show up as day makers, creating joy in the small moments. And we raise the bar by doing the little things with purpose. Working at Lava Island means being part of something bigger—where your effort helps shape the kind of day families will talk about long after they leave.

There’s something powerful about leading a team that brings Lava Island to life. As a leader, you set the tone—for the energy, the culture, and the guest experience. You’ll guide a high-performing team through fast-paced days filled with laughter, connection, and the kind of moments families never forget.
