Job Description

Role: Digital & Performance Marketing Executive

​Location: Hybrid (3 days per week Clapham Junction, 2 days remote)

Hi, we’re The Gym Group...

We’re one of the UK’s leading fitness businesses. With more than one million members, 265+ gyms and ambitious plans to keep growing, we’re the UK’s second-largest gym operator by membership and the fourth largest in Europe.

Our mission is simple: to break down barriers to fitness for all. We’re large enough to make a meaningful difference, but agile enough for individuals to influence how we grow. Technology, data and new ideas play a central role - and you’ll have the opportunity to take ownership, challenge how things are done and see the impact of your work.

Just as importantly, we’re a people-first business where everyone is encouraged to be themselves. We’ve been named one of The Sunday Times Best Places to Work and awarded Investors in People Gold, alongside a host of other awards recognising our culture and our people.

About the role...

This is a brilliant opportunity to get hands-on with performance marketing at scale - planning and running paid search and paid social campaigns that directly drive membership growth for one of the UK's biggest gym brands.

You will be part of a collaborative Marketing team, reporting to the Acquisition and Performance Lead, with real ownership of campaign delivery from day one.

What you'll be doing...

• Planning, executing, and optimising paid acquisition campaigns across PPC and paid social to drive new member growth.
• Monitoring campaign performance daily and making data-led decisions to improve ROI and hit trading targets.
• Supporting new gym openings and regional campaigns, ensuring activity is tailored to local market needs.
• Working with agency partners and internal teams across Brand, eCommerce, CRM, and Analytics to deliver integrated, effective campaigns.
• Tracking and reporting on campaign results, sharing clear insights and recommendations with stakeholders on a regular basis.
• Testing new channels and tactics in a structured way and scaling what works.
• Contributing to performance dashboards and commercial reporting that inform decisions across the business.
• Staying on top of platform developments and evolving best practice in paid search and paid social.

About you...

• 1 to 3 years of hands-on performance marketing experience, either in-house or agency-side.
• Practical, demonstrable experience managing Google Ads campaigns, including setup, optimisation, and reporting.
• A solid understanding of paid search principles and how the search landscape is evolving.
• Strong analytical skills and confidence working with data in Excel or Google Sheets.
• Clear, confident communication skills - you will be presenting performance and ideas to internal and external stakeholders regularly.
