Membership Experience Manager
Stoke Gifford - Bristol
up to £45k plus benefits
Are you passionate about creating exceptional member experiences and building thriving fitness communities?
Our client is a well-established leisure and fitness organisation with a strong community presence across the Bristol area. They're looking for a commercially-driven Membership Experience Manager to lead sales performance and shape a first-class member experience.
This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who enjoys building a strong sales culture as much as they enjoy getting the member journey right. You'll be driving membership growth, working with digital tools to improve how people join and stay engaged, and leading a team that's focused on delivering great service day to day.
This is a brilliant opportunity for someone who combines commercial drive with a genuine passion for people. You’ll take the lead on growing membership, improving retention and making sure every member receives a fantastic experience from their very first enquiry.
At the heart of this role is one simple question: How do we get more people through the doors – and make them want to stay?
You’ll take ownership of the entire membership journey, from generating enquiries and converting new members through to engagement, retention and creating a real sense of community.
You’ll be highly visible, spending time with members and the team, understanding what’s working and constantly looking for opportunities to make the experience even better.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

- Creating an outstanding member journey from enquiry through to long-term membership
- Improving lead generation, tours, follow-up and conversion
- Developing initiatives to increase member engagement and retention
- Coaching the wider team to confidently talk about memberships and services
- Building a strong sales and service culture
- Using member feedback and performance data to identify opportunities
- Developing local partnerships and community relationships
- Supporting campaigns, events and activities that drive awareness and engagement
- Being visible across the facility and building relationships with members
- Working closely with the wider management team to continuously improve the member experience
