  • Coordinating day-to-day IT requirements and external technology providers.

  • Building strong relationships across the business and ensuring solutions genuinely meet network needs.

What we’re looking for

You’ll have 5+ years’ experience in operations, systems, project management, business improvement or a similar role, along with:

  • Strong operational and project management experience.
  • A natural ability to solve problems and improve processes.
  • Confidence working with systems, technology and external providers.
  • Experience leading and developing people.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
  • The ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.

Experience within franchising, multi-site, fitness, retail or another network-based business would be a real advantage.

Why join?

You’ll have genuine ownership and the opportunity to make a visible difference – helping shape the systems, processes and support that enable a growing network to thrive.

If you’re someone who takes ownership, sees opportunities, gets things done and loves making things better, we’d love to hear from you.
