Digital Product Manager / Developer – Fitness Member App

Melbourne South East Suburbs, VIC | Full-Time | Health & Fitness

Take a gym community's app from prototype to launch. This isn't a ticket queue in a big team. There's a prototype, a founder who knows what members need, and a community ready to use it. Your job is to get the real app built and live: writing code yourself, running the developers who do, or both.

The Chance

Our client is an independent, founder-led gym group running three 24/7 strength gyms across Melbourne's south-east. They built the business from scratch with no outside investors, and it has grown on reputation: thousands of five-star reviews and a culture where members become staff and staff become managers.

They've built a prototype of their own member app to help run the gyms and bring that community together. Now they need one person to own it: take it to a production app on iOS and Android, then keep improving it after launch.

You'll work most closely with the founder, and also with gym staff and the wider team. You'll get along to community events too, because the best ideas for the app come from seeing members use it.

What You'll Be Doing

- Taking the prototype to a production app on iOS and Android

- Building features and fixes yourself where it makes sense, and briefing and managing development vendors for the rest

- Owning the roadmap with the founder and deciding what gets built next

- Making sound calls on architecture, hosting and security, and holding vendors to quality, cost and deadlines

- Running App Store and Google Play releases, testing and bug triage





- Working with gym staff and the wider team, and attending community events to learn what members actually need

- Setting up analytics, documenting how the app works, and making sure member data is handled properly under the Privacy Act

What You'll Bring

- 3+ years in product management, product ownership, or development on a consumer mobile app that's live on iOS and Android (essential)

- Hands-on development skills (React Native, Flutter, or similar), or a strong record of managing development vendors through to launch. Ideally both (essential)

- At least one app or major feature you've taken from early build to release (essential)

- The confidence to work directly with a founder and explain technical choices in plain business terms

- Happy being the main tech person in the business

- A genuine interest in fitness and community, and in using what you see at the gyms to make the app better

- Community, social or member engagement experience (highly regarded)

- Experience with fitness, social or membership apps, bookings or payments (highly regarded)

Why This Role?

- Own it end to end. Prototype to launch, hands-on the code, the vendors, or both.

- A direct line to the founder, with no layers in between

- Users you can actually meet. You'll watch features land with members on the gym floor.

- A people-first business with a track record of promoting from within
