Job description

Two brands. One team. ROVA Health is what happens when two established names in health and wellbeing stop running in parallel and start moving together. Built on over a century of Westfield Health Group heritage and driven by the belief that the way people live, work, and recover has fundamentally changed — we exist to do something about it. This is a platform with purpose, built by people who care about getting it right. If you're joining us, you're not just starting a new job. You're helping navigate what comes next.

SENIOR PERFORMANCE MANAGER

Navigate the unknown as a ROVA Experience Specialist

Four gyms, a pool, and a Multi-Use Games Area, and one person makes sure none of it ever looks like work.

At Rova Health, we design, deliver, and scale world-class corporate wellbeing experiences for high-profile partners, because operational excellence isn’t the goal, it’s the baseline. A flagship London Client needs someone who can run it that way, every single day.

As Senior Performance Manager, you’ll lead the on-site and strategic delivery of wellness services across our client’s campus: four gyms and studios, a swimming pool, and a Multi-Use Games Area, plus the team of Performance Coaches, instructors and operators who bring them to life. It’s an even split between hands-on facility leadership and multi-regional strategic execution; budgets, metrics, community-building, and a client relationship you’ll own end to end. High visibility. High stakes. Built for someone who reads the terrain and keeps moving.

Built for people who read a room, adapt on the fly, and keep the whole operation moving.

THE ROLE

Location: London, UK

Language Requirements: Fluent English.

Salary: Up to £55,000.00, dependent on experience

Benefits

• Health Cash plan
• Private Health Insurance
• Pension Scheme
• Retail discounts scheme
• Annual leave (25 days + bank holidays + Westfield Day)
• Electric Car Scheme
• Cycle to Work Scheme
• Annual Pay Review
• On site gym use
• Targeted Learning and Development opportunities

Contract Type: 12 months, fixed term, full time (40 hours)

What You Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology, Sports Science, Health & Exercise Studies, or a closely related field
• Minimum 5 years of strength coaching or personal training experience, ideally within premium environments.
• A proven track record managing and upskilling teams of fitness, health, or sports performance professionals.
• Real experience handling complex stakeholder relationships, owning annual budgets, and running multiple operational projects at once, in a fast-paced corporate setting.
• Advanced presentation and communication skills, the kind that turns complex health and operational data into something a stakeholder wants to hear.
• Exceptional customer service instincts, with client satisfaction treated as a top operational priority, not an afterthought.
• Genuine comfort with ambiguity; you can steer cross-regional initiatives and adjust the plan as the terrain changes.
• Industry-standard certification (CSCS, Certified Exos Performance Specialist, or FMS) plus an active CPR/AED certification.

Duties And Responsibilities

OPERATIONAL LEADERSHIP & FACILITY EXCELLENCE

• Direct daily operations across four gyms/studios, a swimming pool facility, and a Multi-Use Games Area, holding every site to impeccable standards of safety, cleanliness, and technical performance.
• Lead an extended team through senior site leaders who report directly to you.
• Instruct, motivate, and support clients toward their fitness and wellness goals, safely, professionally, and ethically.
• Own the site-level rollout of operational frameworks and staffing plans, keeping every site strictly aligned to contract and quality standards.

TEAM ARCHITECTURE & PEOPLE MANAGEMENT

• Provide direct management, mentoring, and support to a diverse team of Performance Coaches.
• Run regular performance evaluations and keep documentation that actually helps people develop.
• Build a supportive, high-performing team culture rooted in positive behaviours and shared rituals.
• Guide staff on service execution, blending quality frameworks with room for creative autonomy.

STRATEGIC CLIENT PARTNERSHIPS & STAKEHOLDER NAVIGATION

• Serve as the strategic partner and primary day-to-day point of contact for corporate client leadership.
• Communicate proactively, staying ahead of the client’s evolving needs rather than reacting to them.
• Partner with client leadership teams to align joint business plans and remove operational friction.
• Consistently exceed contract expectations — the standard, not the exception.

DATA, FINANCIALS & REPORTING

• Evaluate site-level operations, team performance, and client metrics against Rova Health and client objectives alike.
• Compile, analyse, and present operational data and impact metrics to executive stakeholders every month.
• Take complete accountability for site-specific annual budgets and commercial objectives.

EVENTS & INTERNAL COMMUNITIES

• Lead cross-functional engagement activity — wellness fairs, educational events, informational sessions — that build campus-wide awareness of what’s available.
• Design and run targeted activations (challenges, leaderboards, recovery labs) that pull new employee cohorts in.
