What We’re Looking For

We’re open to a variety of backgrounds. You might be in a brand, marketing, operations, gym or support role already and looking to try something new. What matters most is your enthusiasm, ideas, and desire to contribute to our people experience.

• Some experience in internal communications, engagement, marketing, brand or similar roles – but we don’t expect you to have done it all before!
• Strong written communication skills – confident writing for different channels and audiences.
• Creative thinker with an eye for detail, and a passion for storytelling.
• Highly organised and proactive, with the ability to juggle multiple projects in a fast-paced environment.
• Comfortable working with digital tools (e.g., Connect, email platforms) – experience with Canva or other similar software is preferable but not essential.
• A people-first mindset and a genuine interest in building a great employee experience.
