Who We Are

We are a luxury, globally expanding personal training and fitness brand, redefining health, performance, and lifestyle across multiple international markets. With a presence in key global cities, we deliver elite, highly personalised training experiences supported by world‑class expertise, precision, and discretion.

Marketing plays a central role in shaping our global brand, driving growth across regions, and ensuring consistent, high-quality execution across every touchpoint.

The Role

We are looking for a Marketing Executive to join our Marketing team and support the execution of global and regional marketing initiatives. This role sits at the heart of the marketing function and works closely with senior marketing leadership, regional teams, and external partners.

This is a hands‑on execution role with real responsibility. You will contribute to campaigns, brand initiatives and digital marketing activity from day one, while also owning defined projects and supporting the smooth delivery of marketing across markets.

This role replaces an existing position and is designed for someone ready to step up, take ownership and grow within a high‑performance, international marketing environment.

What You’ll Do

Global Marketing Execution & Support

• Partner closely with the CMO to support and execute global and regional marketing initiatives
• Assist in the planning, coordination and delivery of brand campaigns, digital activations, and key marketing projects
• Write clear, structured briefs and manage deliverables with internal teams, agencies and external partners
• Prepare marketing decks, presentations and updates for senior stakeholders and regional teams
• Support coordination across markets to ensure alignment, consistency and timely execution

Stakeholder & Regional Collaboration

• Act as a key point of contact for regional marketing teams, supporting them in implementing global initiatives
• Translate global strategies into clear, practical guidance for local execution
• Support regional teams while ensuring brand standards and quality are maintained
• Build strong working relationships across marketing, operations and wider business functions

Project Ownership & Campaign Delivery

• Take ownership of defined marketing projects from briefing through to delivery
• Track timelines, manage dependencies and ensure high‑quality execution across workstreams
• Support multiple campaigns and initiatives in parallel within a fast‑paced environment
• Proactively identify risks, gaps or opportunities and communicate them clearly

Performance & Digital Marketing Support

• Support paid social, search and digital marketing campaigns through asset coordination, briefing and reporting
• Assist with performance tracking and reporting across key metrics (CTR, CPA, ROAS)
• Develop a strong understanding of how data and performance insights inform campaign optimisation and decision‑making

Learning, Contribution & Growth

• Work closely with Heads of Brand, Campaigns, Digital and Regional Marketing
• Contribute ideas and improvements to processes, campaigns and execution
• Build experience across brand, campaign delivery and global marketing operations
• Develop skills and confidence to progress within a global, performance‑driven marketing team

Requirements

Mindset & Approach

• Hands‑on, proactive and comfortable taking ownership
• Curious, ambitious and motivated to grow within a marketing role
• Confident communicator, able to work with stakeholders at different levels
• Organised, detail‑oriented and able to manage multiple priorities
• Resilient and adaptable in a fast‑moving, evolving environment
• Solution‑focused, pragmatic and willing to learn through doing

Skills & Experience

• First professional experience in marketing (in‑house or agency), or a strong internship background with clear responsibility
• Foundational understanding of digital and performance marketing
• Familiarity with key marketing metrics (CTR, CPA, ROAS)
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with experience preparing briefs and presentations
• Ability to manage multiple tasks and deadlines with attention to detail
• Collaborative team player who can also work independently

Why Join Us

This is an opportunity to build your marketing career within a premium, global brand where your work directly contributes to international campaigns, brand development and business growth. You will work closely with senior leadership, gain exposure across markets and take ownership of meaningful projects with real impact.

Benefits

What You’ll Get

• Pension scheme: salary sacrifice with employer contributions
• Simply Health policy: claim back costs for dental, optical, physio, massage & more
• Exclusive UP discounts, including 40% off our supplements, books and partner offers
