Head of Business Development (72964-0223)

Permanent position, 36.5 hours per week.

Warwick Sport are seeking a highly motivated and enthusiastic Head of Business Development to develop and deliver strategies and plans that generate income through membership sales and retention, personal training and other fitness products, events and bookings to maximise business growth. Reporting directly to the Director of Sports Operations and Delivery, you will lead the Sales Manager, Health and Fitness Manager and Sales and Events Manager. You will work closely with our marketing teams to promote the facilities and our offer.

In return, we offer a competitive salary and benefits package, which includes training and development opportunities, a generous holiday allowance and pension scheme.

Warwick Sports Vision is to be “the most physically active campus community in the UK.” As Head of Business Development, you will play a key role in helping us achieve this vision with everyone being active every day. Based at the Sports and Wellness Hub, you will have the opportunity to work in World-class facilities and in one of the largest Gyms in the Higher Education sector.

Based at the University of Warwick, this is one of the leading Universities in the country, recently recognised at the best University in the UK for teaching quality by The Good University Guide and also recognised as runner up University of the Year.

The University has invested in excess of £49 million in new sport facilities to include a Sport and Wellness Hub which opened in April 2019. The Warwick Sport mission is to build the most active Campus Community in the UK. We have recognised a shift in our focus from the physical ‘building’ of sports facilities towards the building of a member offer, of activities, communities, and programmes to ensure our world class facilities and wider campus are used to see more people active every day.

It will be necessary, on occasions, for the post holder to work outside normal office hours including some work in the evenings and at weekends.
