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 ROVA Experience Specialist

Corporate wellbeing doesn't run on a script. This role is about leading the team that keeps it moving anyway, on-site, on one of Dublin's most high-profile campuses.

As Senior Performance Manager, you'll lead on-site delivery for one of our flagship corporate accounts — directing two active gyms and a premium pool facility, and managing a team of Performance Coaches who show up for people every day. It’s a role split evenly between the floor and the boardroom: operational excellence on one side, strategic partnership on the other.

You’ll own site budgets, present impact data to executive stakeholders, and build the on-site community that makes people want to come back. No two days will look the same.

Lead the team. Own the standard. Navigate the space.

Location: Dublin, Ireland

Language Requirements: Fluent English required

Salary: 60 – 65,000 EUR per annum based on experience

• Benefits: Private Health Insurance, Pension scheme, Annual Leave up to 26 days, Cycle to Work Scheme, Annual Pay Review, Targeted Learning and Development opportunities.

• → Demonstrable experience handling stakeholder relations, overseeing annual budgets, and managing multiple operational projects simultaneously in a fast-paced corporate environment.
• → Advanced presentation and communication skills, with a proven capability to simplify complex health and operational data for executive and C‑Suite review.
• → Exceptional customer service instincts, with a commitment to placing client satisfaction as a top operational priority.
• → Highly capable of managing ambiguity, steering cross-regional initiatives, and adjusting strategies to fit varied territory requirements.
• → Industry-standard specialised certifications (e.g. CSCS, Certified Exos Performance Specialist, FMS) and active CPR/AED certification required.
