Build and grow the global digital community behind Body Athletica.

About the role

Body Athletica is looking for an experienced App & Community Manager to take ownership of the growing digital community for Pilates students, graduates, Trainers and industry professionals around the world. This is a newly created role reporting directly to the General Manager, with responsibility for developing the Body Athletica App into an active, valuable and commercially sustainable global community. You'll be the internal business owner of the Body Athletica App, responsible for the member experience from the moment someone joins – helping them understand the platform, become active, discover valuable content, participate in the community and continue their relationship with Body Athletica after graduation.

This is not a social media management role and you don't need to be a Pilates instructor.

We're looking for someone who understands digital communities, memberships, content, engagement and subscription growth and knows how to turn a digital audience into a community people genuinely want to participate in.

Our philosophy for the Body Athletica App is simple:

Learn. Teach. Belong.

If you're excited by the opportunity to take ownership of a growing digital platform and help shape what it becomes, we'd love to hear from you.

Key responsibilities

- Develop and manage a community engagement strategy that encourages students, alumni, Trainers and members to actively participate, create conversations, encourage peer connection, celebrate achievements and highlight Trainer expertise
- Oversee the day-to-day App experience, including onboarding, groups, content organisation, events, communications, notifications and overall usability
- Own the operational content calendar and coordinate a consistent pipeline of videos, educational resources, community content, workshops and other material
- Coordinate the growing program of online workshops and events – managing the calendar, presenters, registrations, communications, recordings, member feedback and on-demand workshop library
- Help introduce students to the App from the beginning of their Body Athletica journey and develop strategies to keep them connected after graduation




- Develop and improve the journey from Free User → Engaged User → Paid Subscriber → Retained Subscriber, monitoring subscription growth, conversion, engagement, cancellations and retention
- Monitor user growth, activation, monthly active users, returning users, community participation, content and video engagement, workshop registrations, free-to-paid conversion, subscriber growth, retention and churn, and member feedback
- Work across Education, Student Experience, Marketing & Brand, Sales & Partnerships, Systems & Technology and the international Trainer network

About you

- Experience managing an online community, membership or digital platform
- Strong understanding of what drives community engagement
- Experience coordinating content calendars and digital publishing
- Experience coordinating webinars, workshops or online events
- Excellent written communication skills
- Strong organisational and project management capability
- Confidence coordinating multiple contributors and stakeholders
- Strong digital capability and confidence to learn new platforms
- Experience working with analytics and performance data
- Understanding of member/customer journeys, ability to work independently and take ownership, and strong commercial awareness

Experience with subscription or membership businesses, CRM/email marketing, automated member journeys, video content, digital learning platforms, retention/churn analysis or international communities would be highly regarded.

You Don't Need to Be a Pilates Instructor

Industry knowledge is helpful but a Pilates qualification is not required. We're more interested in your ability to build and manage an exceptional digital community and member experience.

Experience in education, fitness, health,



wellness or qualified membership environments would be advantageous but we are equally interested in candidates from other industries who can bring strong digital community and membership experience.

The ability to build a successful digital community is more important to us than being a Pilates subject-matter expert.

What Success Looks Like

You'll know you're succeeding when we see:

- More students activating and using the App.
- An increasingly active global community.
- Alumni remaining connected after graduation.
- Consistent and engaging content.
- Strong workshop participation.
- Trainers actively contributing.
- Increasing paid subscriptions.
- Strong subscriber retention.
- Clear and effective member journeys.
- Data being used to improve the App.
- Members seeing genuine ongoing value in being part of Body Athletica.

How to Apply

Please submit your CV and a short cover letter telling us why this opportunity interests you.

We would particularly like to hear about one digital community, membership, subscription or online engagement initiative you've personally helped build or improve.

Tell us

- What you were trying to achieve.
- What you personally owned.
- What you changed or implemented.
- How you measured success.
- What happened as a result.
