Wetherby, West Yorkshire | On-site + event travel | Full-time
Salary:
Competitive, dependent on experience
We're looking for an energetic, outgoing and highly organised Community & Athlete Manager to become one of the faces of TRI-FIT.
You'll own the relationships and experiences that connect TRI-FIT with the people who race in our products: our TRI-BE amateur race team, professional athletes, affiliates and wider endurance community.
This isn't purely a desk-based community or social-media position.
During race season you'll regularly represent TRI-FIT at triathlons, marathons, swimming events, expos and activations around the UK.
Outside race weekends, you'll be based at our Wetherby HQ working closely with our Brand & Marketing Lead and founder.
WHAT YOU WILL DO- Run a calendar of activations for TRI-BE and manage its Strava group.
- Register TRI-BE as an official Ironman Tri Club.
- Set up and manage a white-label community app for TRI-BE members.
- Build collaborations and discount-code partnerships with non-competing brands.
- Manage sponsored and professional athletes: relationships, scouting, race calendars and content commitments.
- Plan athlete content with the Brand & Marketing Lead.
- Run the affiliate programme: enquiries, onboarding, kit, content briefs, sourcing and performance.
- Represent TRI-FIT at triathlons, marathons, ultra-running and swim events, set the promotion approach for each event, and capture email addresses and marketing consent.
- Create race-day content: reels, interviews and footage.
- Supervise one or two extra staff at larger events.
- Organise influencer events, activations and pre-race shakeout runs.
- Engage with our online community every day.
- Dynamic, approachable and outgoing, in person and on camera.
- Comfortable with social media and basic short-form video editing.
- Organised and self-directed. You will often represent TRI-FIT alone.
- Happy to work weekends in race season and travel, with time off in lieu during the week.
- Desirable: genuine enthusiasm for or participation in triathlon or endurance sport, and existing links with clubs, races and athletes.
You'll be office-based at TRI-FIT HQ in Wetherby between events, with significant event travel during race season.
