Chief People Officer jobs in United Arab Emirates

We’re a lean, agile, and impact-driven organization. Our people are our core competitive advantage, and we’re a workplace where every team member can thrive and do their best. As a fitness and wellness company, we believe in energy, balance, purpose and values that guide and support our people every day.

We’re looking for a Manager – HR (People Experience) who’s passionate about creating exceptional work environments, and who can own the employee journey from attracting top talent to keeping them engaged, supported, and inspired. And yes, someone who truly resonates with what fitness and wellness represent.

What You’ll Own:

This is a hands-on, full-spectrum HR role, reporting to the Director HR.

- Lead the entire employee lifecycle from recruitment to onboarding, engagement, growth, and retention

- Drive employee communication, feedback loops, recognition, and wellness initiatives

- Champion a high-performance, inclusive workplace culture

- Collaborate with leadership to align people strategies with business goals and embed our brand values in every stage of the employee experience

- Manage HR operations, systems, data and drive continuous improvement through data and employee insights

What We’re Looking For:

- A proven track record as People Manager with 5–8 years of employee lifecycle experience, ideally in agile or high-growth environments

- Postgraduate degree or diploma in Human Resources, or a related field

- Professional certification such as CIPD, SHRM, HRCI, or equivalent will be an asset

- A people-first mindset, with the ability to connect business goals to talent strategies

- Excellent communication skills and a proactive, collaborative working style

- Passion for wellness and people (you don’t need to be a fitness expert, just someone who understands why these matter to our team and our culture)

- Someone who thrives in a mission-led team where culture, learning and performance matter

- A natural people person, approachable, energetic, and organized

- Make a real impact and shape the people experience from the ground up

This role requires someone who genuinely lives a wellness-first lifestyle, and visibly reflects the energy, confidence, and presence that our brand stands for. If you're not personally committed to a lifestyle that aligns with fitness, health, and high-performance living, this role may not be the right fit.
