• Drive membership growth and community engagement through outreach, partnerships, referrals, B2B lead generation, and events such as open days and club challenges.

• Monitor sales performance, retention, and financial outcomes, reporting results and insights to senior leadership
• Utilise internal systems including Clubware, Debit Success and Gym Sales to track leads, conversions and operational performance
• Support operational readiness for club opening, including procedures, systems and coordination with senior leadership
• Oversee key club operations and mentor department leaders, ensuring exceptional member experiences across all areas, including Crèche, Retail & Café

What You’ll Bring

• Proven leadership in a large “Big Box” gym environment (20+ staff, 2,000+ members)
• Experienced sales leader with a strong track record in KPI-driven environments, motivatedby targets and confident leading, mentoring and developing high-performing teams.
• People-focused leader with strong communication skills, able to build rapport, influence others and inspire teams by leading from the front
