Saelo is a Korean-inspired, design-forward preventative skin clinic building toward multi-location growth in San Francisco. We are hiring a hands-on Clinic Operations Manager to stabilize and scale the behind-the-scenes systems that protect revenue, provider schedules, inventory, compliance, and client experience — so founders and clinicians can focus on care and growth.

Growth & Opportunity

This role is designed to grow.

We are a growing brand with new partnerships, events, and collaborations planned as we scale, and this role will be closely involved in operationalizing those initiatives.

If you’re genuinely interested in Korean beauty, preventative skincare, and the mechanics behind how a modern clinic runs — and you enjoy both structured systems and the real-world nuances of building something from the ground up — this role will feel dynamic, high-impact, and long-term.
